(Thanks to the "New Moon and Sorrowful Smoke" swordsman for the monthly pass, ask for support)

The 33rd Qingfeng Sword Fighting Festival has come to an end.

But this sword fighting event was not only talked about by the disciples of the Sword Sect, but also by the elders and the masters of the academy, and the center of their discussion was naturally Chu Duan and Xiao Qianfeng.

Whether it is Chu Duan or Xiao Qianfeng, what they show is what they look up to, and what they can't reach.

There is a saying that when you are just better than others, others will be hostile and even jealous, but when you are far better than others, all that is left is to look up and can only look up.

......

"What is a pseudo-sword?"

"The so-called pseudo-sword weapon is a kind of swordsman's weapon between the hundred refining sword and the sword weapon. ”

"The sword weapon has a unique spirituality and extraordinary power, compared with the hundred refining swords, it is the difference between cloud and mud. The sword weapon, not only in terms of hardness, toughness but also sharpness, is far more than the hundred refining swords, and contains the particularity that the hundred refining swords do not have, that is, the so-called spirituality. ”

"The sword weapon is created for the swordsman of the Qi Transformation Realm and above realm, the Hundred Refining Sword is simply unable to withstand the innate sword qi of the sword of the Qi Transformation Realm, although the pseudo-sword weapon can barely withstand it, but it cannot give full play to the power of the innate sword qi. Only a sword weapon can withstand the innate sword qi, and give full play to the power of the innate sword qi, and even, to a certain extent, increase the power of the innate sword qi. ”

"For the swordsmen of the Sword Qi Realm, their sword qi is the acquired sword qi, which is not enough to urge the sword weapon, so they can't be used at all. Therefore. The Hundred Refining Sword is the best choice, but once the cultivation reaches the tenth rank. But after condensing the sword, the Hundred Refining Sword was already a little unbearable. At this time, it is necessary to strengthen the tough and hard sword, and the solution is often to strengthen the hundred refining swords, and the better thing is naturally the pseudo-sword weapon, especially for the swordsmen of the half-step qi realm, their sword qi is more refined, and they are between the acquired sword qi and the innate sword qi, and they must be able to withstand it with the strength of the pseudo-sword weapon. ”

"This pseudo-sword weapon of yours is forged according to the low-grade sword weapon Qingfeng Sword. In terms of strength and sharpness, it will not be inferior to the Qingfeng Sword much. The only thing missing is the spirituality of the Breeze Sword. ”

Chu Duan's mind echoed the words of Ling Feng's Courtyard, and he felt that in front of his eyes, the world of the swordsman was in the realm. Another door was opened, and there were infinite mysteries.

In the pavilion, on the balcony, Chu Duan held a white silk cloth in his left hand and a pseudo-Qingfeng sword in his right hand, and slowly wiped it over.

The sound of pedaling sounded, and Li Wei trotted up.

"Senior brother, senior brother sent someone to invite senior brother over for a small gathering. Li Wei glanced at the pseudo-Qingfeng Sword, only feeling a little dazzling. Hurriedly retracted his gaze, looked at Chu Duan's back, and said softly.

There was a small throbbing in her heart, which seemed to be an inexplicable good feeling, but because of the huge gap. Pressed to death, sealed in the corner, he could only stand behind his back, silently watching.

"Oh, good. Chu Duan put down the white silk cloth, carefully starting from the sword, his eyes were like flowing water to the tip of the sword, and then he waved his hand, the sword light was huohuo, and there was a faint pale cyan flowing in the air, like a breeze blowing.

A melodious sonorous sound sounded, and the sword was put into the sheath, Chu Duan got up, glanced at Li Wei, smiled slightly, and went downstairs.

In the pavilion, there was already an eighth-stage disciple waiting to lead the way.

......

The mountain road is rugged, there is a mountain wind blowing mightily, the cold hits people, and a few sparse pines can be seen standing around, growing in the wind, and a figure is moving forward quickly.

This is one of the many small peaks on Qinglan Mountain, at the top of the mountain, there is a pavilion, in the pavilion, there are four people sitting in the morning.

"Senior brother, you're late, let's punish you for a glass first. A faint smile, like a white cloud's idle voice, followed by a slight sound of breaking wind, Chu Duan saw a virtual shadow flying through the air, and it was a small wine glass. ...,

Stretching out his left hand, the index finger and thumb naturally pinched the small wine glass, inside, there was a full glass of mellow wine, exuding an intoxicating fragrance.

Smiling slightly, Chu Duan did not refuse, a cup was poured into his mouth, his fingers flicked, and the small wine glass shot out upside down, landing on the stone table in the pavilion, standing still.

"Good. Everyone clapped their hands and laughed.

Taking a step forward, as if blown away by the wind, he suddenly came to the pavilion, and sat down on the empty stone chair, which was five stone chairs, corresponding to five people.

In addition to Chu Duan, there are also Xiao Qianfeng, Li Yi and Yu Wenming and Wang Tinghao.

Xiao Qianfeng has a cold and sharp temperament, does not talk much, usually does not smile, and is a typical swordsmani; Li Yi is as idle and comfortable as a cloud, and has an indifferent temperament; Yu Wenming has a strong and domineering edge, very confident and open-minded; Wang Tinghao does not talk much, and his temperament is upright, and he says nothing else.

A Qingfeng sword fighting event, a round of fighting, can be said to be no fight, no acquaintance.

Although Li Yi and Yu Wenming and Wang Tinghao were all defeated in the hands of Chu Duan and Xiao Qianfeng, they did not have jealousy or resentment, but admired Chu Duan and Xiao Qianfeng because of this, and took the initiative to make friends.

The personalities of the three were different, and their bearings were extraordinary, and Chu Duan regarded them as people who could be befriended, so he did not refuse their kindness.

Xiao Qianfeng was already an elite disciple of the main hall at this time, although he was a swordsmaniac, but he was not an unsophisticated person, and he also expressed kindness to the friendship between the three of them.

Therefore, in the past few days, in addition to cultivation, the five of them have gathered here from time to time, drink some wine, talk about swordsmanship, talk about their own concepts, and discuss various problems in cultivation.

As the saying goes, there must be a teacher for a threesome!

In terms of swordsmanship, Chu Duan is the most among the five, but it does not mean that Chu Duan is the one who knows the most.

Xiao Qianfeng has some kind of adventure, Li Yi's cultivation of the three is far better than Chu Duan's and has experienced many times, he has seen a lot of knowledge, etc., between discussions, after a few days, Chu Duan has also gained something, not only has his horizons broadened a lot, but also gradually realized the bottleneck between the peak of the eighth stage and the ninth stage.

"Senior brother, I fought with you that day, I was in a mess of my mood, after these few days of precipitation and adjustment, not only my mood has been adjusted, but my swordsmanship has improved a little. After Li Yi drank a glass of wine, he suddenly stood up and said with a smile: "Today is a brother, and I will show what I have realized." Please comment on the comments. ”

"Senior brother, please. ”

As he spoke, Li Yi had already walked out of the pavilion. The sword and the clouds move, complementing each other with the white clouds beyond the mountain peaks.

In this way, drinking a little wine, discussing together, and showing each other are more effective than cultivating by yourself.

"It's really pleasant, stealing half a day of leisure, with wine, swords and friends. Yu Wenming suddenly sighed. Moaned softly. Pour a glass of wine into the mouth. Then, Ha Luha smiled, got drunk, drew his sword with a sonorous sound, and leaped up. After tossing a few times, a volley flew out of the air, and a sword seemed to come from outside the sky, stabbing at Li Yi, and at the same time shouting: "Senior brother take me a sword." ”

"What a stealing half a day, with wine, swords, and ......friends," Chu Dui and the three of them all stroked their palms and chuckled.

......

In a flash, ten days passed, and the weather was even colder, and the chill was deep.

As usual, Chu got up early. Against the hazy night, blowing a cold wind, sitting on the balcony, cultivating the Zhongyuan Sword Qi Determination.

Now it is the peak of the eighth stage, and if it breaks through, it is the ninth stage.

It's just that. Chu Duan's sword qi cultivation is basically supported by qi cultivation pills, and it will be more or less unstable, and now he is constantly carrying sword qi, not seeking breakthroughs, just to eliminate the side effects of the pill for the sake of refining the sword qi, and completely stabilize it.

At that time, it will be more secure to hit the ninth stage again.

As for the sharpness of the pseudo-Qingfeng Sword, Chu Duan tried it, and slashed against the Hundred Refining Sword, under one sword, the Hundred Refining Sword was directly cut out of a gap, and the three swords were cut in the same place, the Pseudo Qingfeng Sword was not damaged at all, and the Hundred Refining Sword was broken. ...,

After the twenty-four Great Zhou Tian was transported, the sword qi was more refined, and Chu Duan went to the Lingfeng Sword Platform to practice swordsmanship.

Although the cold was deep and the sky was still a little hazy, when Chu Duan arrived at the Lingfeng Sword Platform, he found that there were sixty or seventy disciples who were already practicing their swords on the Sword Platform.

Seeing Chu Dui's arrival, many disciples stopped one after another, and saluted Chu Dui in unison, their eyes full of fiery worship that could not be concealed, so that this deep chill was dispelled at once.

Then, under the unanimous and sincere request of many disciples, Chu Duan led everyone to practice the Ling Feng sword technique, and in an instant, the disciples on the sword platform consciously stood and lined up, neatly and neatly, practicing swords together, the scene was extremely spectacular, and the atmosphere was excellent.

This Ling Feng swordsmanship, he has already cultivated to perfection, and he has instructed all the disciples to come easily.

After some guidance, all the disciples felt that they had gained something, and some doubts that they couldn't figure out in the past suddenly opened, and they were grateful to Chu Duan.

And didn't stay on the sword platform for long, because today, there are more important things to do.

Chu Duan said a few words, put the sword into the sheath, left the sword platform, and headed towards Ling Feng's courtyard.

......

The two figures left the Lingfeng Courtyard and headed in the direction of the main hall.

"You are the first place in this Qingfeng Sword Fighting Festival, so you have three days to visit the Qingfeng Sword Monument and grasp it well. Ling Feng said as he walked.

"Well, Master of the Academy, since it is of great benefit to participate in the Qingfeng Sword Tablet, why doesn't the Sword Sect let more disciples go to the Enlightenment?" Chu Duan asked.

"Due to the conditions, this is something that cannot be helped. Ling Feng said with a smile: "The entrance of the Qingfeng Cave is hidden in the void, and it will only appear once in three years, and after it appears, the number of places to enter each time cannot exceed five, otherwise the Qingfeng Cave will not be able to bear it and collapse." In the past, after each sword fighting event, in addition to the top three entering, there will also be two elders or masters of the courtyard who enter it to participate in the enlightenment together. But this time, the five of you are very good, so the head coach decided to give up the two places and let the five of you enter it together. As for us, to be honest, we have already entered once or twice, except for the first time when we gained a large amount, the second time we entered, there was basically not much gain, and the third time we entered, it was very little. In addition, every time Qingfeng Cave is opened, it needs to consume a lot of force, which cannot support everyone to comprehend for three days, so it can only adjust the length of time. After closing, it will take three years to be able to replenish again. ”

Chu Duan nodded suddenly in realization, it turned out that this Qingfeng Cave still had this kind of mystery.

Half an hour later, he came to the main hall with Ling Feng Sect, joined Xiao Qianfeng, Li Yi and the other four, and went to Qingfeng Cave under the leadership of Luo Tianxiong.

As the important place of the Qingfeng Sword Sect, ordinary people naturally can't get close to it.

Led by Luo Tianxiong, the five people of Chu Duan followed, Luo Yuling stood aside and watched, staring at Chu Duan, there was a strange light flashing in her eyes, her pink lips moved, as if she wanted to say something but couldn't say it, she could only watch Chu Duan leave.

Ling Feng glanced at Luo Yuling, smiled secretly, and shook his head slightly, he was a person from the past, so he could naturally see a little clue, and he couldn't help but feel sorry.

After many contacts with Chu Duan, Ling Feng was able to see that Chu Duan's personality was not the kind of person who loved children, but he was afraid that in his eyes, there was only a sword and a sword, and everything else was only secondary.

At the very least, it is now, and as for the future, no one can say for sure.

......

The entrance to Qingfeng Cave is located in the basement of the backyard of the main hall of Qingfeng, and there are three levels, the most of which is blocked by a heavy door of refined steel, even a master of the Qi Transformation Realm will not want to break it.

Moreover, there were two old men guarding here, and when Chu Dui's eyes fell on these two old men, he only felt a faint obscure fluctuation, which seemed to be dying and old, but in fact, his body contained a powerful and majestic sword qi. ...,

Chu Duan's intuition was that the cultivation of these two dying old men was more powerful than the Qi Transformation Realm he had seen so far.

"Tianxiong has seen the two Supreme Elders. Luo Tianxiong respectfully saluted the two old men in the twilight, Chu Duan and the others were secretly surprised, it turned out to be the Supreme Elder, no wonder Luo Tianxiong was so respectful.

The old man slowly opened his eyes, which were cloudy, without the slightest light, but made people feel the depth of the concealment. Their eyes moved away from Luo Tianxiong and fell on Chu Duan and the others, and suddenly, Chu Duan's five people seemed to be restrained by an invisible force, and at that moment, they couldn't breathe, and they almost stopped thinking.

"Elder Taishang, the five of them are the most outstanding disciples of this sect in this sword fighting event, originally every session, only the first three disciples can enter the Qingfeng Cave to comprehend the Qingfeng Sword Tablet. Luo Tianxiong hurriedly explained, pointing to Chu Duan and Xiao Qianfeng: "But this time, Chu Duan and Xiao Qianfeng were born out of nowhere, showing more extraordinary talents, and won the first and second places, so I made my own decision to let Li Yi and the three of them win the third place together, and enter the Qingfeng Cave to participate in the Sword Monument together, and ask Elder Taishang for permission." ”

The eyes of the two dying old men focused on Chu Duan and Xiao Qianfeng, which made the inexplicable pressure felt by Chu Duan and Xiao Qianfeng even greater, and they were completely unable to resist, and it was difficult to even mention the idea of resisting.

Chu Duan and Xiao Qianfeng's faces changed greatly, their heart beat three times faster, their blood vessels almost burst, their eyes glared angrily, their edges condensed, although they were like grasshoppers shaking trees, they were unyielding and uncompromising.

On Xiao Qianfeng's body, the endless edge appeared again, and on Chu Duan's body, the half-step sword momentum condensed.

In an instant, the eyes of the two dying old men closed, and Chu Duan and Xiao Qianfeng only felt all the pressure on themselves and disappeared. And when they were about to fight with all their might, it was as if they had punched the cotton with force and were not forced, and the emptiness felt uncomfortable, and their chests were swollen for a while, and it took a while to adjust.

I saw the two old men in the twilight each point out a finger from the sleeve of their robes as fast as lightning, and shot out two sword qi, hitting somewhere on the roof of the underground secret room, and in an instant, the sound of rolling sounded, and the door of the heavy refined steel slowly moved to the side, revealing the black entrance.

"Wait. Luo Tianxiong stared at the entrance tightly and said softly.

Time passed little by little, and this place made the five people feel a little depressed, and the source of the depression was the two old men who were dying.

"There were. Luo Tianxiong's tone contained a hint of excitement, and there was a glint in his eyes. Chu Duan and the others looked at it, only to see that the darkness behind the opened Hundred Refining Steel Door suddenly rippled layer by layer, like stones falling on the surface of calm water.

"You five, you can enter. Luo Tianxiong said: "At that time, when the time comes, I will remind you." ”

The five people of Chu Duan, with excitement and curiosity, walked towards Qingfeng Cave one after another, stepped out, disappeared into it, and disappeared.

"There are two elders who are too high. After Luo Tianxiong saluted again, he looked at the slowly closing door of the hundred refining steel, and turned to leave.

"I didn't expect that someone would get the kendo inheritance, it's really surprising. ”

"The other one, can't see through ......"

Two old voices slowly sounded, echoing in the underground secret room, and gradually fell silent. (Your support on this site is my biggest motivation.) )
