In martial arts fighting, there is a well-known classic method called "mud cow into the sea".

It is a killing move that is similar to a shapeshifting method to deliver the opponent to oneself, and skillfully defuse it, so that those huge forces that can break the bones and tendons disappear without a trace in an instant!

It's like a big cow made of mud swimming into the seawater, so what awaits its end is undoubtedly to dissolve quickly until it completely melts into the seawater, and can no longer condense its body.

It is very appropriate to use Ci's vivid and vivid metaphor to describe the subtlety of that trick.

It is precisely because of this that this idiom can be used so widely, and people can hear those four words from the mouths of many scholars, and they are really familiar.

In the southern territory of the Splendid Dynasty, near the South China Sea, there is a big mountain named after the word "mud cow".

It's not that there is a legend between the warriors here, just because this high mountain is continuous, the overall shape is like a giant majestic bull, and every time there is heavy rain, it is very easy to produce landslides, and there are often mudslides along the way, so it is called "mud cow mountain".

In the evening of this day, before the sun set in the west, Ling Zhen and Eighth Sister Ling Xiaoxiao came to the cluster, and they were ready to leave for the White Bone Beach in the south tomorrow and make every effort to defeat the White Bone Sword Sect of the Demon Sect.

Since they have the intention of fighting a bloody battle in the lair of the Demon Sect, then they should be good at recuperating and recuperating, and the two plan to rest comfortably for a day in the private house at the foot of the mountain in the private house at the foot of the mountain that night.

When the spirit is vigorous, the physical strength is completely restored, and the state of complete perfection is reached, they set off to the south and kill the white bone beach that is not too far from here!

On the way down the mountain, the Ling family siblings no longer rode the red dragon named "Red".

Such a large and extremely large fire dragon demon metamorphosis enters the village, and it is easy to scare the passers-by so much that they can't sleep in the middle of the night, or to exaggerate a little more, and scare the pants of the fart children on the spot, that is not very good, not what they want.

The sister and brother did not ride a dragon, but went down the mountain on foot, and when they reached the foot of the mountain, they saw that there was a tall stone tablet archway in that position, and above the stone monument that was several feet high, there were two young men with swords hanging from their waists.

The feet are very calm, the posture is jade, and the posture is like a mountain cliff, standing motionless.

Just like that, keep the left and right sides of the highest part of the torii.

It seems that there are two door gods with swords in their waists, and their appearance is majestic and domineering...... No, the god of cards!

After getting a little closer, Ling Zhen saw that there were two sons and brothers who could be called "handsome" in appearance and bearing, probably about the same age as Dongfang Jibai.

One left and one right, dressed in green and white, as a confrontation.

Ling Zhenwu thought about it secretly, and felt that these two high-ranking guys might have made an appointment for a martial arts competition, wanting to compete and distinguish between male and female, and compare whose swordsmanship attainments were higher.

Otherwise, who is a good person who is full of food and stands on such a high place?

In four years, Ling Pu, the king of the Shenyuan Domain, led the army of iron cavalry, stepped into various parts of the dynasty, and personally destroyed countless martial arts sects.

With the sword saint Yingchun in the past years, he made great wishes, and earnestly expected the kind of martial arts world of "everyone has skills", which is going farther and farther, and within a hundred years of the prosperous climate, I am afraid that it will be difficult to rise!

After that, like this kind of warrior battle, which was originally more common, and at a certain time and place, the two of them made an appointment to fight alone, which was quite rare in the Central Plains.

And the young sword cultivator Ling Zhen, although he has been in retreat in the Red Refining Ruins for four years, after he got out of the customs, after learning what his father had done in the past four years, he can more or less understand the current serious state of decay of the dynasty's martial arts, how the situation is getting worse and worse, and he can also guess one or two.

Of course, he also knows that seeing a swordsman fighting a sword on the road should be such an interesting thing to see, and the wonderful show should not be missed!

As the calligrapher under the bridge said with saliva and spittle, on the night of the full moon, on the top of the court, a sword struck, and the immortals flew outside...... It's a spectacular spectacle, and when you think about it, it's dramatic.

Although it is not the evening with a full moon, and this is not a palace compound, and Ling Zhen's swordsmanship must not be weak, but he can take advantage of this battle to relieve some boring and boring emotions a little, and stop to watch such a sudden "competition" on the way down the mountain in a boring way, which is really no less than ordinary people who do not spend money and enjoy a wonderful stage play!

But the two didn't fight, they didn't even draw their swords out of their sheaths, and there was no smoke of fighting back and forth, which was unexpected and naturally boring.

The thunder is loud, but it's raining a little bit, huh?

When Ling Zhen and Ling Xiaoxiao approached completely with slow steps, the two swordsmen who accidentally discovered the existence of the Ling family's sister and brother cast their unfriendly gazes together, and the speed was not slow.

One of the swordsmen, who was dressed in blue clothes, shouted "hey" loudly downward, and shouted angrily: "Where did the son and sister of the rich and noble family come from, don't you want to leave the cluster quickly?" ”

It turned out to be the robe worn by Ling Zhen, the shape was very exquisite, and the snow-colored white dress of Ling Xiaoxiao, the eighth daughter of the Ling family, was also particularly beautiful, which made people misunderstand them as aristocratic sons and rich daughters who went out to play, and the kind of thieves in the family who were rich.

In fact, there is not much fault in this method, so the pair of young sisters and brothers who were born in Shenshan Villa and went out on a long trip did not refute this.

At this time, the other young swordsman dressed in white above the archway, his eyes were sharper, and he saw the snow-white long sword pinned to Ling Zhen's waist, which was exquisite, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

Of course, he couldn't discern what a unique and supreme artifact the Bliss Sword that came out of the Nirvana Furnace and was specially created by Xuanyuan Yin for Ling Zhen.

It's just a simple look at the appearance, a judgment, and I feel that since it can be beautiful to this extent, even if it is a useless "vase", then it will never be convenient to go anywhere!

The man shouted at Ling Zhen, the young man in the green robe, in a relatively good tone: "This son, look at the sword you have on your waist, could it be that you are also a swordsman?" ”

After being a swordsman, Ling Zhen, who became a sword cultivator through cultivation, grinned, casually told a harmless lie, and responded loudly: "Not long after I first entered the rivers and lakes, I am not a swordsman, I am just confused, I have learned a few tricks of three-legged cat swordsmanship with others, and when I go out, I carry a sword in my waist and eyes, pretending to be scared." ”

The swordsman standing on the high place was amused by Ling Zhen's modest words, and laughed, "Then you really shouldn't make such a fancy sword, it's too eye-catching, like a priceless piece of mutton fat jade, walking on the street, but it is too ostentatious, and it is easy to bring it into memory!" I'm not afraid of thieves stealing, but I'm afraid of thieves, but I have to guard against some. ”

Ling Zhen nodded, "What Brother Tai said is reasonable, he didn't think about it when he went out, he patronized himself to support the scene, and asked someone to do such a handful, next time I must pay attention, try to be low-key, and replace it with a saber that is not so easy to attract thieves!" ”

After a pause, the young sword cultivator in the green robe asked again: "The two of you are here, have you made an appointment to compete in martial arts and sword fighting?" Did you abruptly abrupt the two Yaxing? ”

Another swordsman in Tsing Yi above spoke again: "No, it's not a sword, Brother Zhao and I are here to resist the 'beast tide' that comes once a year." ”

Ling Zhen became more and more strange, raised his eyebrows and asked, "What is the Beast Tide?" ”

The white-clothed swordsman replied calmly: "On this day every year, when dusk is approaching, there will always be hundreds of wild beasts on this mud cow mountain, descending the mountain in groups, trampling on the fertile fields and ditches, destroying the houses and houses, harming countless people, and causing an extremely bad impact on the safety of the people under the mountain!" Therefore, I made an agreement with Brother Zhang, and the two of them joined forces, at the archway at the foot of the mountain, quietly waiting for the arrival of the beasts, and when the tide came, they would draw their swords together and see who could kill more beasts......"

The swordsman in Tsing Yi laughed loudly, his attitude was clear, as if he didn't care about the upcoming mountain catastrophe, and said to the Ling family sisters and brothers below: "You two are also lucky, if it is half an hour at night, it will definitely be swallowed up by that beast tide and reduced to two stalls of meat!" ”

Ling Zhen was by no means a person with a stomach and intestines, and he didn't pay any attention to Ci's slightly rude remarks, but just asked a little puzzled: "Then the two brothers, aren't you afraid of that beast tide?" ”

The white-clothed swordsman also laughed loudly, and said while laughing: "Brother, you just didn't have long since you first set foot in the rivers and lakes, don't you know, I have stepped into this river and lake since I was eighteen years old, and it has been nine years since I stumbled!" In the past nine years, no matter how dangerous things have been, you will be afraid of a large group of beasts? ”

Another swordsman in Tsing Yi turned his head and said with a smile: "Brother Zhao, I was a year earlier than you, I entered the rivers and lakes at the age of seventeen, and it has been ten years now, haha!" ”

Ling Zhen was a little surprised, he couldn't imagine that these two guys didn't look a few years older than him, but they had been in the industry for so many years, no wonder they gave people the feeling of "old fritters", old and sophisticated.

The young man in the green robe who was born in the mansion of the king of the northern domain, hugged his fist at this time and performed a very standard etiquette, "In Xia Ling Zhier, I went out to play with my sister Ling, and I was fortunate to see the two heroes here, dare to ask the names of the heroes, how to call them?" ”

The so-called "straight two" is to split the word "true" into two halves, take a straight one, and then take a two, so as to get a simple new name.

As for "Ling", it is undoubtedly the homonym of Ling Xiaoxiao's name, which is very easy to understand.

"Oh, the word 'hero' is ...... what you say, we can't afford it, just call us brothers."

The white-clothed swordsman was thin-skinned and said with a little trepidation, "If you really want to know what my name is, my surname is Zhao, and my single name is a precursor......"

The man thought about it for a while, and felt that such a reply seemed not tough and self-confident enough, so he added: "Dare to be the first 'first'!" ”

Another swordsman in Tsing Yi was relatively thick-skinned, and was raised by Ling Zhen as a hero, and his heart was called a beautiful man, the joy blossomed, the idea was presented on his face, and his face was smiling from ear to ear, he patted his chest and said: "The word hero, Zhao Xian can't afford it, then let me bear it!" ”

The white-clothed swordsman frowned, glaring at the other person standing on the archway with him, "Brother Zhang, if there is a madness, there will be rain, and if there is a madness, there will be woe, let's keep a low profile." ”

The swordsman in Tsing Yi said, "What? We are determined to carry the attack of fierce beasts, isn't this kind of behavior a chivalrous act? Why is he not qualified to be called a 'hero'? I think I'm very qualified! ”

The white-clothed swordsman Zhao Xian was speechless and silent.

The Tsing Yi swordsman surnamed Zhang, after winning his friend in words, became more and more extraordinary in his chest, lowered his head, and said to Ling Zhen in the same format as Zhao Xian's self-reported home: "I want to know what my name is?" That's good for you. My surname is Zhang, and my single name is a realm word, such as the 'realm' in the realm of no one! ”

Zhao Xian, Zhang Jing.

One dares to be the first, and the other is like entering no man's land.

The two people standing on this archway, I don't know how the swordsmanship is, and the domineering is really domineering.

tone, it's really not counting!

Ling Zhen smiled and hugged his fists again and said, "I've seen Zhao and Zhang. ”

Zhao Xianzheng was about to continue to refute a few words, but was immediately interrupted by Zhang Jing, and the swordsman in Tsing Yi smiled at the white-clothed swordsman who was at eye level with him: "Brother Zhao, you just take it, you and I have been walking the rivers and lakes for ten years, fighting and killing, in the wind and rain, in the water and in the fire, and have suffered so much, what are you trying to do?" Isn't it just trying to make people look up to us? Now that someone is finally willing to call you and me a 'hero', you can't pull your face anymore, and you don't dare to pick it up, this is not good! ”

After listening to Zhang Jing's words, Zhao Xian was silent for a moment, nodded his head, and also made a fist clenching movement, looking at the blue-robed young man who called himself "Ling Zhier" standing on the ground, and the white-clothed swordsman shouted down: "Then thank you Brother Ling for lifting up." ”

Ling Zhen smiled and said naturally: "The two chivalrous are brave and courageous, willing to contribute to the common people here, ambush the upcoming group of beasts, heroic deeds, I sincerely admire the word hero, and the word hero shouted is really willing, and it is all from the bottom of my heart!" ”

Suddenly, the swordsman in Tsing Yi, who was in a good mood, remembered something, he turned his head, looked at Zhao Xian, who was standing on a high place with him, and said with emotion: "Brother Zhao, in the past ten years, have you never entered any sect like me?" ”

Zhao Xian was slightly stunned at first, and then nodded: "Yes, it has never been, and it has always been a lonely travel." ”

Zhang Jing laughed for a while, and said with a smile: "Is there a loss!" Think about it, if we had been apprenticed to a teacher and worked within a certain sect, what would have happened now? After the Zongzitou Mountain Gate was broken by the Shenyuan Domain King, the members of our sect were martyred nine times out of ten, and they died miserably, and there was no reason! ”

Zhao Xian thought about it and agreed with this remark, "It makes sense, I listened to the Qingcheng faction, just because I swore to die and didn't want to surrender to Ling Pu, and as a result, the five or six hundred people of the whole faction were all wiped out, and not a single one was left alive...... The news that came out of the vassal king was just eight big characters - 'Sword Sect Qingcheng, all killed'! Alas, when I think about it, I feel panicked, pitiful, pathetic, and lamentable! ”

"Isn't it a drop, how fierce and vicious Ling Pu's methods are, known as one of the top ten masters of the human race, the hardest fist, this kind of people launched a ruthless attack, that killing someone, isn't it like crushing an ant to death? How easy it is to be how easy! ”

Zhang Jing said hatefully, and looked down at the position below, "Brother Ling, your surname...... It's really not good! What's wrong with last name? You have to have the surname 'Ling', and the first giant in the martial arts, Ling Pu, has the same surname, isn't this bad luck?! ”

When Ling Zhen heard this, he didn't move the slightest, he was not shocked, he just smiled indifferently, and said very indifferently: "It's true that I don't have a surname, but the surname is such a thing, I can't change it after birth, and I really can't do it." ”

Zhang Jing muttered to himself, "If you want to change my surname with Ling Pu, I will be so ashamed that I won't have the face to go out." ”

Zhao Xian's volume was not high, and he said in a warm voice: "By the way, Brother Ling, have you cultivated geometrically?" Is there a purchase? ”

The "entry product" in his mouth obviously refers to the cultivation realm above the first-order self-cultivation realm, and the first time he has entered the martial arts level.

Ling Zhen was determined to deceive people to the end, and he wanted to tell a full set of lies, so he said with a clear conscience: "I am dull and have practiced hard for several years, but I have never been allowed to enter the first product." ”

After Ling Xiaoxiao listened to her brother's extremely unconscionable words, she didn't debunk it, but she secretly cursed in her belly, if you Ling Zhen are dull, then there will be no qualified people here!

Zhang Jing on the archway, when he heard that Ling Zhen had not entered the product, he did not laugh at it, and said with an encouraging attitude: "It's okay, it's okay, if you practice for a few more years, you will always be able to enter the realm of self-cultivation, don't be discouraged." Look at me, I've been practicing the sword for more than ten years, and I still only have the realm of the first-order Great Perfection, and I can't even open the natal sword technique, and I can't do the sword cultivation ......."

Zhao Xian comforted his good friend with kind words, "A really powerful swordsman doesn't need any natal sword at all, and I don't have one!" Brother Zhang, be optimistic, didn't you refine some 'swords' on the blade of the sword last year? This proves that you are not far from the stage where the so-called martial arts have entered the transformation realm! ”

Since Ling Zhen had also had a stage where he couldn't refine the natal sword alive before, he quite recognized this half of Zhao Xian's words, but in the second half, he didn't agree with the method of practicing the sword and being close to the transformation realm.

Disappreciating this, the expression on the face of the young man in the green robe still did not change at all, squinting and smiling, approachable.

Zhang Jing was obviously encouraged by Zhao Xian's words of consolation, and his voice raised, "What Brother Zhao said is reasonable, and after a while, look at me Zhang Jing, how to use the mangqi on the sword to punish the tide of beasts!" ”

Zhao Xian tilted his chin and said with a hearty smile: "Everything else is fine, the matter of defeating the beast tide, I have been working hard for more than half a year, and I have suffered so much in the past few months, you don't want to rob me of this work!" ”

Zhang Jing stiffened his neck and said loudly: "Resisting the beast tide relies on the killing power of the sword, which has a lot to do with the physique?" Today, your Brother Zhao's physique, even if it is comparable to the Baizhu Master of the Qingling Temple, will definitely not kill more beasts than me! ”

Zhao Xian was not to be outdone, "Then let's compare it well, there is no basis for empty words, and the swordsman uses the sword to speak, which is the most conclusive!" ”

Ling Zhen smiled and became a peacemaker, "Both of them have the posture of heroes, both are chivalrous swordsmen who are rare in the world, and they are all sword and beast together, and it is not necessarily very important to divide the next thing." ”

Zhao Xian felt that the young man was a little standing and didn't have a backache, so he didn't pay much attention to it and stopped talking.

Zhang Jing just squinted at Ling Zhen's dress for a while, and said, "Brother Ling, the robe on your body is so beautiful, far superior to the top grade of ordinary silk villages, but it is still a little worse, and it is definitely not really the best...... Don't hide it from you, the most gorgeous talisman robe I've ever seen in my life, once, by chance, I met the 'Qingtan Swordsman' Shang Zhengqi by chance, yes, it is the top hero of Jiangnan Province, his cyan robe called 'Qingdi', tsk, bright and dazzling, overflowing with golden light, is much more beautiful than you! ”

Ling Zhen knew it in his chest, and immediately understood that this guy surnamed Zhang must be bragging indiscriminately, and he couldn't decide if he had never seen Shang Zhengqi once.

Just because the famous green shirt "Qingdi" is not as gorgeous as Zhang Jingsuo, on the contrary, its appearance is simple and abnormal, and it is not beautiful at all, where does the overflowing golden light come from?

"Dressing or anything is nothing, and some top masters don't like to dress ostentatiously, and simplicity is the first. Brother Zhang, have you seen the famous hero who crisscrossed the north of the river, did 'Dugu Sword' Feng Shanbai not? Tell you, I've seen it! ”

Zhao Xian said proudly, "That was eight years ago, I only stepped into the martial arts for a long time, and I was fortunate to meet Feng Daxia once...... It's so invincible! Grass, trees, bamboos and stones can all be swords, people and swords are one, and the sword aura is fierce, and the 'swish' is two times, and you can kill people invisibly! That swordsmanship, it seems to be called Qianjun Sword Technique, it's really amazing, if I can learn one or two of them, then I have no regrets in this life! ”

The two swordsmen on the archway were in a very high-pitched mood, excited and happy.

Reminiscing about the past, the years are thick.

And the young man in the green robe Ling Zhen at the bottom, but his face was full of light clouds, he raised his head, and only symbolized the high place and responded: "Mmmm, amazing." ”
