"Senior Brother Qi, is it really necessary for us to practice swords in the middle of the night?"

A young man with a long sword hanging from his waist on the left and right asked curiously.

And Senior Brother Qi in his mouth did not answer the young man's question, he had already drawn his sword out of its sheath at this moment, handed it out, and stabbed it in the young man's face, completely not giving his junior brother the slightest time to react.

The young man casually pulled out the long sword on his left side and raised it upwards lightly, the power was not weaker than that of Senior Brother Qi's charged blow at all.

The young man smiled and said: "Senior Brother Qi, if you practice swords, you practice swords, what are you doing so seriously, and besides, we are a dignified Cangyun Sword Sect, you are a senior brother, it is too much to sneak attack the little junior brother, so I should remind you." ”

Qi Changsheng was quite satisfied with his junior brother's unruly blocking counterattack just now, and was about to praise his junior brother, but he never thought that the junior brother immediately said something extremely naïve, his face was serious, and he reprimanded: "Ding Yu, walking the rivers and lakes, how can the enemy remind you one by one, saying, 'I'm going to make a move, you should be careful', such a big person, and still so naïve?" Moreover, the young man in the green shirt in the market today, the speed of the sword will only be faster than I just now, ask the sword platform, any monk, is a borderless person, so your realm advantage is gone, there is a young sect master of Yanyu Lou in the front, and there is a little-known young swordsman in green shirt in the back, these two people will be the opponent who is extremely threatening to you in this sword line, if you still have such a naïve idea, then I think it is better not to participate in the sword line, so as not to lose the face of the Cangyun Sword Sect. ”

Ding Yu scratched his head, he really complained casually, he didn't expect the senior brother to reprimand himself like this, although the young man didn't think he had done anything wrong, but he didn't dare to bump into the senior brother at all, so he nodded and admitted his mistake at this time, and said: "I was wrong, thank you for my teachings." ”

Qi Changsheng frowned.

It is not a good thing to die and not admit mistakes, and to admit mistakes too quickly.

The former has a tendon, a strong temperament, does not know how to be flexible, goes all the way to the dark, does not hit the south wall and does not look back, and it is easy to offend people. The latter is too tactful, or simply takes his own words as a deaf ear, even if he hears it, he does not repent, and he knows how to disguise, which is even more troublesome.

Qi Changsheng took a step forward, held the long sword upside down, and scolded sharply: "Knowing that mistakes can be changed, good is great, senior brother said these words, I don't want to hear you say that you know that you are wrong, but I am not convinced in my heart, right is right, wrong is wrong, don't feel that you are right in your heart, but admit your mistake in your mouth, just to try to be relaxed for a while, but in fact I don't plan to change it." ”

Ding Yu's mind was seen thoroughly, and he was a little ashamed, and lowered his head, not knowing what to say.

At this time, Senior Brother Qi Changsheng patted him on the shoulder again, his tone softened slightly, and he didn't call him by his name, but changed to a more affectionate title, he said: "Ah Yu, Senior Brother doesn't insist on blaming you for how you are, I just want to tell you that Senior Brother is not necessarily right, and even Shizun is not always right, if you feel that Senior Brother is not right, you can point it out directly, instead of hiding everything in your heart, I taught Bai Jiao, you listened to Bai Listen, and pretended to understand, this is what I am most worried about." ”

The young man shook his head, raised his head again, his eyes and tone were very sincere, and said: "Senior Brother Qi, I really know that I am wrong, I shouldn't despise the opponent, I just want to say, will it be useful to hold Buddha's feet temporarily?"

Qi Changsheng smiled at this time, knowing that his junior brother had really listened to his teachings and would change them.

He smiled: "It's better to hold Buddha's feet temporarily than not to hug at all." ”

The young man was full of energy, pulled out the sword on his right, held the sword in both hands, and said eagerly: "Senior brother is right, let's continue to practice swords, please give me advice!"

Sleepless Mountain has arranged guest rooms for tens of thousands of Qi Refiners, some of them are in the Sleepless City, and some are outside the Sleepless City, but between the two places, there is a Sleepless City Teleportation Circle, so whether you live in the city or outside the city, it doesn't take much effort.

Moreover, those Qi Refiners who were arranged to live outside the city that never sleeped could also see the beautiful scenery of the upside-down waterfall.

On the side of the turmoil, there are also qi refiners who have no intention of sleeping and pacing alone.

There are Confucian monks who export chapters and seven steps into poems.

There are also monks on the mountain, a man and a woman walking together, one by the water, one strokes the harp, one plays the seer, the piano and the song, the fairy couple.

There are also some sword cultivators, who are determined to win tomorrow's sword line, and want to win the head of the sword line in one fell swoop, once famous all over the world, glorious lintel, and are practicing swords by the water at the moment, indulging in moonlight and swordsmanship.

Tomorrow night is no exception.

The girl held two swords, one black and one white, one long and one short, one song all the time, the double swords were already shining, and they were reflected by the moonlight in the water with a touch of bright moonlight.

Ambilight and beautiful.

At this moment, even the man in brocade clothes and the woman with a thin veil were not by the girl's side, only the white-haired old woman, who was a servant, was standing behind the girl in black and whispered: "Young Sect Master, you really don't need to take that soft sword from the old body? With that soft sword in hand, the young sect master will be foolproof if he asks the sword shop tomorrow, and he will definitely be able to win the top spot." ”

In front of others, in order not to expose her identity, the old woman can only call her Miss, when there is no outsider, you can't forget the difference between respect and inferiority, the difference between master and servant, you need to call the young master of the girl, it is reasonable.

Mingye shook his head and said: "If my mother-in-law snatches his sword, who else will I ask for the sword? Even if he has other weapons, then I am not a good fighter, it is not suitable for reason, Yanyulou never takes advantage of people's danger." ”

The white-haired old woman nodded and said, "It's because the old body is too worried, and the young sect master really doesn't need to do more." ”

The girl in black said this, not because she was proud of herself, and there was no one in her eyes.

In the girl's heart, as the first sword sect in the world, Yanyu Lou naturally does not need to take advantage of people's dangers, and has never used yang schemes, not tricks.

As the young sect master of Yanyu Building, of course, she must act more openly, so that people can't find a thorn, how can she be unscrupulous to a young man because of the false name of a sword leader?

Moreover, even if she didn't use the soft sword that was most in line with the sect's exercises, she still had considerable confidence that she could defeat Li Zijin and other opponents in the sword shop.

In the eyes of the girl, the strongest opponent is always tomorrow's self.

This has been the case since childhood.

The so-called kendo genius, in front of her, is like an ordinary man in front of those kendo geniuses.

The light of fireflies can compete with the sun and the moon.

Li Zijin was lying on the bed, and there was an annoying Jiang Xiang next door, and he had to forcibly chat with himself through a wall in the middle of the night.

Li Zijin closed his eyes, his mind was immersed, he held his breath and concentrated, and began to mobilize the spiritual power in the sea of consciousness.

As usual, after entering the Second Realm, the operation of these spiritual powers was extremely slow, and it was far away from the Three Realms Soul Building Realm, which always made the young man unable to see the slightest hope.

This time I went down the mountain, and I never found a chance to fight life and death, and there was no way to sharpen my sword path between life and death and break through the bottleneck.

Ask the sword shop, I heard that you can learn from the sword cultivator from Kyushu in the world.

Moreover, under the inverted waterfall, on the sword platform, there is a layer of enchantment, which can restrict the realm cultivation of all qi refiners, and the rule of asking the sword line is that only sword cultivators can participate, and they cannot use talismans, various attack magic weapons, formations, pale paper figures, etc.

Some surprisingly successful sideways are also not used.

It is to really ask the sword, not to ask, to ask the law, to ask the talisman, to ask the side door.

Let the world's sword cultivation only use swordsmanship to distinguish the winner and loser, and there will be no situation where one force will drop ten times and suppress the opponent with the realm, so as to achieve victory.

There will also be no scene of relying on the rank of magic weapons and many talismans, relying on things outside the body to defeat the opponent.

The magic circle enchantment of the Nightless Mountain pursues the fairness of swordsmanship, and it is a real battle between swordsmen.

Li Zijin likes this very much.

It's not that he likes this because he is in a low realm now, but the young man feels that this kind of "asking the sword" is the purest.

Of course, this kind of battle, which only divides victory and defeat, does not distinguish between life and death, and does not allow the use of talismans and magic weapons, actually restricts the use of strategies by monks.

So ask the so-called head of the sword shop, in fact, just listen to it, it's just a false name.

However, when I was wandering around the city that never sleeps, I heard someone say that the top three in the sword line can enter the library of the sleepless mountain and take any magic weapon or exercise with them.

This reward makes Li Zijin feel that it is quite real, much more useful than that false name, at least it is an object that can be put in our pockets.

It's impossible to say that you don't want to be tempted.

The girl in black said that she wanted to ask herself for a sword in the sword shop.

Then, he also happened to use her as a help to break through to the soul building realm.

After all, the stones of other mountains can be used to attack jade.

Li Zijin slowly drew his sword out of the sheath, and slowly wiped the sword body with the index finger and middle finger of his right hand, and the sword light reflected the young man's delicate and cold face.

Tomorrow night, right?

Li Zijin is ready to give the first time to the girl named Tomorrow Night.

For the first time, he threw his sword out.

In the night, the boy was sitting in a precarious position.

Holds a sword in his left hand.

————

Jiang Xiang, a disciple of the outer door of the farmer's family, leaned his head against the wall, and heard the sound of a sword drawn and unsheathed next door.

The corners of Jiang Xiang's mouth, who was wearing a brown robe, twitched slightly.

He stretched out his left hand, made a sword-gripping gesture, and slowly "dragged".

In the original position, a sword?

Looming, hard to see.

Jiang Xiang said to himself: "Fang Tian sees the shadow but does not see the light, and Fang Ye sees the light but does not see the form." You are Chengying, I am Hanguang. ”

Following.

Under the upside-down waterfall of the city that never sleeps, thousands of qi refiners gathered.

Obviously, not everyone is interested in asking sword cultivation, especially those monks who do not have the talent of sword path, they not only envy the killing power and chic of sword cultivation, but also reject the existence of sword cultivation, which is almost above other branches of qi refiners.

So today, the singing and dancing in the city is leveling, and the sword light and sword shadow outside the city.

A wide-sleeved man hovered over the upside-down waterfall in the wind, his smile was calm, and he looked at the thousands of qi refiners below with one hand behind his back.

The deputy mountain master of the sleepless mountain, Yuan Tiancheng.

Yuan Tiancheng waved his big sleeves, above the top, under the waterfall, there was a huge sword platform, square, hovering above the top, spinning, his body was brilliant and clear.

Yuan Tiancheng stretched out his index finger again and gently "pointed" at the huge sword-asking platform, which suddenly stagnated and rotated, and landed steadily on the surface of the water.

There were Qi Refiners present who were proficient in the enchantment of the magic circle, and they had already seen that this sword asking platform itself was an extremely rare magic weapon, so if a great cultivator like Yuan Tiancheng applied the enchantment magic circle, it would be easier and the effect would be better.

Seventy percent of the force is exerted, but it can play the role of twelve percent.

This is a magic weapon of the Immortal Family with an extremely high rank, which can bring benefits to Qi Refiners.

The deputy mountain master of the Sleepless Mountain, with his hands behind his back at the moment, said with a smile: "Before asking the sword to start, Yuan Mou first said three rules, first, you must not use weapons, immortal magic weapons, and secret weapons other than swords. Second, it is forbidden to use exercises other than swordsmanship, such as fist techniques, leg techniques, and side door left paths. Third, the purpose of asking the sword line is to let the sword cultivators in the world learn from each other, sharpen their swordsmanship, and they must not take people's lives without authorization, and they can admit defeat. ”

Li Zijin heard it in his ears, and Jiang Xiang, a disciple of the outer sect of the peasant family, stood beside him, muttering in a low voice: "Brother Li, I feel that you are busy today, it seems that last night in the city that never sleeps, many people saw you make a move, and at this moment they are itching in their hands, and they want to ask you about the sword." By the way, there are even people who have opened the market on how far you can go, and many people have placed bets. ”

Li Zijin glanced at the guy next to him, and said indifferently: "Say, how much did you vote?"

Jiang Xiang clapped his fists with his fists, with an extremely unbeaten face, and smiled flatteringly: "How else to say that I am familiar with Brother Li at first sight, and those who know me must be Brother Li!"

Li Zijin didn't bother to take care of this flamboyant evil spirit, turned his head to look at the other side, and found that the black-clothed girl with two swords crossed behind her also happened to turn her head and glanced at herself.

"It's not good, Brother Li, you have to hold on for a few more rounds, don't send it away to other unknown people before you fight with the girl tomorrow night, what a bad scenery, Jiang is still waiting to see Brother Li, you and the girl of the night, you and me, the two swords are combined······"

Is Jiang Xiang really not afraid of being hacked to death by himself or by a sword tomorrow night?

Li Zijin took a few steps in the direction of Wenjiantai, wanting to get rid of this noisy guy, not wanting to listen to him mess with his own mentality.

But Jiang Xiang, a disciple of the outer sect of the farmer's family, is really like a maggot attached to the bone, like a shadow, like a dog skin plaster, and he can't get rid of it.

"Eh, Brother Li, where are you going? ”

"Eh, Brother Li, don't go so fast, I can't keep up. ”

"Brother Li······"

Li Zijin couldn't bear it anymore, turned around and grabbed Jiang Xiang's collar, and said with a smile: "No matter how annoying you are, I'll ask for the sword." ”

The latter raised his hands high, looked innocent, but kept silent, and did not talk about himself anymore.

According to the rules of asking the sword, as long as someone jumps on the sword platform, and then points to a certain sword cultivator under the stage, saying that he wants to ask the sword, it is done.

Of course, the person who is asked about the sword can refuse, but how much can't he hang up on his face like this?

Most of them will end up with the name of a shrunken turtle, and there are thousands of qi refiners present, three sects and nine streams, hundreds of schools, and all kinds of characters, and if they are spread out, they must not be laughed at to death.

In contrast, anyway, asking the sword shop only asks about victory and defeat, regardless of life and death, even if you lose, you can still end up with a reputation that is still glorious despite defeat.

There is no shame in sword cultivation and losing the sword, after all, there are people in the world.

But if Jian Xiu becomes a turtle with a shrunken head, tsk, together with the sect he is in, he will be pointed at the backbone and scolded in the future.

Seeing Jiang Xiang's instigation, Li Zijin nodded with satisfaction, how good it is to be like this earlier, everyone is worry-free.

The first person to jump onto the sword platform appeared.

Li Zijin looked up at the sword platform.

It turned out to be a young man who also wielded two swords, and when he found Li Zijin looking at him, the young man also smiled in this direction.

The next moment.

The young man who was the first to jump on the sword platform and hang a long sword on the left and right looked at Li Zijin with great energy, stretched out his hand and pointed at Li Zijin's side, and said, "I want to ask for the sword." ”
