Bailong Lake is known as the first lake in the southwest, with thousands of acres of water, more than 20 large and small islands, and the Wanjianmen they want to go to is on the largest Yinping Island.

The Wanjian Gate is also one of the eighty-one doors of the five sects and thirteen sects, and the reason why Lu Chuan and the others came here but didn't know where it was was because this Wanjian Gate, like the Tang Sect, was a hidden sect.

Zhu Zhaoyan, the master of the Ten Thousand Swords Gate, is indeed known as the Sword Saint, and is the only surviving predecessor of Lu Youlu Zhenji, Yao Wei and Yao Chunjin. The world says that he is devoted to the sword and never gets close to women, but Zhu Yuguang claims to be his son, and the old man must be old and lonely.

Lu Chuan and the three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Zhu Yuguang's senior brother Xin Baoguang came back, followed by a group of people.

Xin Baoguang pulled an old man and jumped on the boat when he got closer, and before the old man could stand firm, Xin Baoguang hurriedly said, "Doctor, take a look at my junior brother's injury." ”

The old man was dizzy all the way, trembling and giving Zhu Yuguang a pulse, looked at his tongue, rolled his eyelids, and then concluded that he was not sick.

Zhu Yuguang was injured a little red, but it was not serious, Lu Chuan and Ye Wuxia had already given medicine.

Xin Baoguang respectfully saw off the old gentleman, and then beckoned the boatman to sail.

There were wine, meat, vegetables and vegetables on the boat, and when the boat opened, the boatman cooked a fish, fried a few dishes, and warmed a few pots of wine. The weather was cold, and the four of them ate a few bites, and their spirits immediately came up.

Jianghu people are so simple, sit together and have a meal, and the uncooked ones are cooked, a little mustard, a little misunderstanding, and they all melt away.

The four of them were chatting happily, when they suddenly heard an old voice outside the boat saying: "The way of the world has changed, in the days of the saints, the seventy people ate meat, and now the young people eat meat, but the old man is drinking the northwest wind." ”

Lu Chuan pushed open the window of the cabin and saw that there was a small boat next to the big boat, and there was an old man on the small boat, dressed in a robe, wearing a hat, and holding a fishing rod, and was chattering there.

Lu Chuan is a warm-hearted person, and when he saw this scene, he smiled and said: "Old man, it's cold outside, please go to the cabin to warm up, the wine is still hot." ”

The old man didn't look back, waved his hand with his back to Lu Chuan and said, "The old beggar is poor, he has no money to pay the bill after eating and drinking, if only there were kind people who could appreciate some leftovers." ”

Lu Chuan lowered the window and said with a smile: "Brother Xin, Brother Zhu, I don't mind if I borrow some wine and food." ”

"Oh, Brother Lu, please. ”

Lu Chuan brought two large bowls, picked out two large bowls, filled two large bowls, poured a pot of wine, lifted the curtain and went out of the cabin, jumped lightly, and landed firmly on the boat. After setting up the food and drinks, he handed over the chopsticks and said, "Old man, please use them." ”

The old man finally raised his head, smiled at Lu Chuan, and said, "It's hard work, young man." ”

Lu Chuan looked at it, ouch, this old man is too old, his face is full of folds, his eyebrows and beard are white, and he shows two or three teeth when he grins.

Seeing this old man, Lu Chuan thought of his grandfather who had passed away, and his heart suddenly felt a little sour, and he didn't dare to stay longer, so he turned his head and left.

But I heard the old man behind him say: "I don't know how to water, you have to be careful when you get on and off the boat, the water is not as cold as the shore, it is very cold, and it is very dangerous." ”

As soon as Lu Chuan heard this, he knew that this old man must be a master of the world, and wanted to say thank the old man for his reminder, but he was upset for a while, and he didn't dare to say more, so he jumped back to the boat, took a deep breath outside the cabin, and then picked up the curtain and walked in.

The old man behind him said to himself: "Good wine, good food! The loess is almost buried on the top of my head, and it is the first time to eat such a good thing......

When the boat docked, there were already disciples to greet them, Xin Baoguang went to the mountain first to report, and Zhu Yuguang accompanied Lu Chuan and the others to slowly go up the mountain behind.

Wanjianmen is not on the flat ground, but on the highest big depression mountain on Yinping Island, there is a huge mountain villa built around the mountain, a boulder two or three zhang high outside the door, which is inlaid with gold with three big characters of Wanjianmen.

The words are not perfect, but the sword intent in the words is a must.

By the time the three of them arrived, Xin Baoguang had already greeted him at the door on behalf of the master.

Entering the mountain gate, there is a large hall in front of you, resplendent with gold, there are no weapon shelves on both sides, but there are many swords hanging on the wall, although they are not swords, but at least they are sharp blades made of pure steel.

Zhu Zhaoyan Zhu Old Sword Saint sat in the main hall, don't look at the old man's age, full of energy, old and immortal.

Zhu Yuguang first explained to his father about the order to go down the mountain, and then talked about how he was attacked by the river and how he was rescued by Ye Wuxia.

Later, Lu Chuan and the others greeted the old sword saint as a junior, and the old sword saint nodded frequently, and he was still quite interested in these two rising stars.

briefly asked about the two of them, Lu Chuan told the truth, and Ye Wuxia said a little vaguely, but the old man didn't ask deeply.

After that, the old man made an unexpected request from Lu Chuan, he wanted to see Lu Chuan's sword.

Lu Chuan was a little hesitant at that time, because his sword almost never left his body, and this was someone else's territory, although it stands to reason that Zhu Zhaoyan's identity would not play any tricks on the two juniors, but the current situation was special, and he had to act carefully.

Zhu Yuguang explained on the side: "Brother Lu, don't get me wrong, my master has loved swords all his life, and borrowing your sword is to see, and there is nothing else to do." ”

Lu Chuan smiled and offered the Zixiao Silver Moon Sword with both hands.

Zhu Lao Sword Saint was not modest, he stretched out his hand to take it, checked it in his hand and said: "This sword is four feet three inches and three minutes long, three feet six inches and eight minutes long, and weighs eleven pounds and six taels. As he spoke, the old man flicked the blade of the sword with his index finger, and the sound of the sword instantly resounded throughout the hall.

The old man continued: "There seem to be three points of dark iron in the sword, six points of tungsten steel, and one point, and the old man can't hear it. Looking at the shape of this sword and the lines on the blade, it should be from the hands of overseas swordsmiths, and the year is at least more than two hundred years, but never less than three hundred years. Although it can't cut gold and jade, it is much better than ordinary iron swords. It can be regarded as a sword, if it is not a different sword, the old man does have the intention of collecting, but this kind of different sword is not used by ordinary people. Lu Shaoxia, return you. ”

The old man held the tip of the Zixiao Silver Moon Sword with his index finger and handed the sword over.

Lu Chuan took back the sword with both hands, and praised it sincerely: "The seniors' understanding of the sword is really unprecedented, and the younger generations admire it." ”

"I can't talk about it, I just like it. Saying that, the old man nodded at Ye Nanyun, and Ye Wuxia hurriedly untied the treasure knife and offered it with both hands.

The old man didn't take the knife, just looked back and forth, and said, "The old man doesn't have much research on knives, but the old man knows this knife." At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Deng Shizai had dug a knife under the stele of Chen Taiqiu, black as lacquer, the blade was more than three feet long, the blade body often had a sad breath, the name was called the long night, and the scholar admired it and destroyed Shu. But after all, it was a murderous knife, and Shi Zai did not get a good death, and the knife of the previous master's ten peers outside the gate also lost an arm. ”

Lu Chuan and the others heard it like a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

Zhu Zhaoyan didn't care at all, turned his head and ordered: "Bao'er, go and get the Taiyi knife." ”

Xin Baoguang left in response, and came in with a sandalwood box after a while.

Zhu Zhaoyan tore off the seal and opened the box, only to see a simple treasure knife lying inside, and the old man pointed to the knife and said: "This knife is called Taiyi, which was obtained in the soil of Chengdu after Zhong Shiji destroyed Shu in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. Deng Aizhong will be a genius for a while, but he will not die well. These two knives have also come and gone, and they have never been together. You saved my son's life, and I would like to give it to you with this sword. The two murder knives are worn by one person, which may be dissolved and turned into good fortune. It may also just make the owner die faster. Ye Shaoxia, do you dare to accept it?"

Ye Wuxia said with a smile: "If the crockpot does not leave the edge of the well, the general will inevitably die in battle." How many people in the rivers and lakes can have a good death? The younger generation dares to accept it, and it depends on whether the seniors are reluctant to give it. ”

The old sword saint also smiled: "The old man only loves swords in his life, and there is nothing reluctant to give up a sword." This knife was originally for him, and since he gave you the Long Night Knife, wouldn't it be right to give it to you? ”

"Then the junior will take it. ”

The old sword saint turned to Lu Chuan and said, "Lu Shaoxia, don't blame the old man for being stingy, the old man's hidden sword never gives it away." ”

Lu Chuan bowed and said: "The juniors don't dare to take the love of others, let alone save Brother Zhu, but they also robbed Brother Xin of the credit, the seniors can give me the fifth brother's treasure knife, and the juniors are already grateful." ”

The old sword saint nodded and said: "Brotherly harmony is a blessing for the family, it can be seen that your brothers do not distinguish each other, just like Bao'er and Yu'er." But since it's fate, the old man can't let you run in vain, you come with me, I invite you to see the old man's hidden sword. ”

Xin Baoguang hurriedly led the way, but the old sword saint said: "You don't have to go, Lu Shaoxia and I will go, Lu Shaoxia, please." ”

"Please. ”

After a while, the two came to a rockery in the garden, and the old man tinkered with it somewhere, only to hear a rumbling sound, and a door actually opened in the middle of the rockery.

The old sword master took the lead, and Lu Chuan followed.

The two of them went all the way down, and said as they walked the old sword saint: "Presumably you are the grandson of the North Demon Luyou, there are not many people alive in our generation now, or the old man will look for them in a few years, the rivers and lakes, it should be handed over to you young people." ”

"Do you know my grandfather?"

"Don't just recognize, back then, our friends in the rivers and lakes put gold on our faces, saying that we are the new five uniques of the East Buddha West Sage Southern Medicine North Demon Zhongxia, the East Buddha is talking about the abbot of Shaolin Temple who has no way to follow the master, and the Southern Medicine is the divine doctor Kou Ping who wrote the "Whole Young Heart", the North Demon is your grandfather, the West Sage is the old man, and the Zhongxia is the Zhongzhou hero Xi Kaifu who was later killed by your grandfather. At that time, when we heard such a title, several of us were very happy, five uniques, even if it was a martial arts master. Only your grandfather is not, and I don't know if he thinks that the four of us are not qualified to be called the five uniques with him, or if he has long seen that there are hypocrites and villains in it. Speaking of which, Xi Kaifu pretended to be really good, and deceived almost everyone in the world. After you were killed, no one believed what your grandfather said, and at first even I didn't believe me. But your grandfather is also at fault, his mistake is to kill the East Buddha, the old monk is a real living Buddha, he has never killed a person in his life, he has never done anything sorry for others, and he was killed by your grandfather without fighting back. Later, your grandfather also died, and then the old doctor also died, and now I am the only one left. ”

"Senior, you said that my fifth brother's master was the sword master among the ten peers outside the gate back then, but is it true?"

"I haven't had much contact with them, after all, they are basically foreigners, and they were killed by your grandfather in a flash in the pan. There are only two, only two I've seen, and one of them is the Blade. But I listen to you, you haven't seen him yet, have you?"

"I really haven't seen it. ”

"Then it's no wonder that this old fellow is such a strange man. If you want to know more about the Ten Absolute Things, he can tell you more. ”

Speaking of this, the old sword master suddenly sighed, and then continued: "He, it's a pity. He is a person like me, I love swords, he loves knives, but he is such a person, he cut off his hand holding the knife, and threw away more than a dozen famous knives, including the five-color knife, the blood knife, the white deer knife, and the Great Xia Dragon Sparrow, Taiyi Divine Knife. What did he say, what was he for? How determined was he? The old man was inferior to him in this alone. ”

Lu Chuan was silent, the old sword saint was so far, he didn't say in detail, but he could think of what it would be like to throw away most of his life, such a person, such a practice, it was definitely not for him. However, the person who can sacrifice his life for others should not be the murderer of Yao Qi, because such a person is not selfish enough to be a villain.

After saying these words, the old sword master did not say any more superfluous words. An old man and a young man walked quietly in the corridor like this, he could feel the impact and touch of Fang Cai's words on Lu Chuan, and the uncalm qi and blood needed time to be appeased.

The old man didn't urge, and after a while, Lu Chuan let out a sigh of relief before asking, "Senior, what do you think of the Cloud Swordsman?"

"Mu Xiu will be destroyed by the forest wind, his talent, this world can't accommodate it. He is the same kind of person as your grandfather Lu You, but he does a lot better than your grandfather. ”

"Thank you for your advice. ”

"Alright, it's also here, let's look at the sword. ”

I have to say that there are really many hidden swords of the old sword saint, and there are hundreds of swords in the dungeon, which can also shine in the candlelight, which is eye-catching. I really don't know what it would be like if it was placed under the blue sky and white sun.

The old sword saint counted them one by one from the sun, moon and stars sword to the Zhenyue Shangfang sword, the Yougu sword, the Wu Wang sword, the Huashan divine sword, and so on.

When he was about to go out after reading the sword, Lu Chuan stopped the old sword saint and said, "The seniors let the juniors listen to what they want to hear and see, and the juniors are grateful and can't repay it." But there is one thing that the younger generation thinks still has to say that it is better to know with the seniors. ”

"It's just you and me, but it's okay. ”

"The person who arranged for the assassination of Ling Lang today is your eldest disciple, Xin Baoguang. ”

“...... Do you have proof?"

"The evidence is enough for me, but I'm afraid it's not necessarily for you. Let me put it this way, who are you going to pass on the position of the master of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect to?"

"This matter is also a piece of my heart, although Yu'er is my biological child, but in terms of ability and courage, it is not as good as Bao'er. Alas...... People are confused when they get old, I really regret it, I accepted Bao'er as a righteous son, why did I give birth to Yu'er again......"

"I can't blame you for this matter, Brother Xin is not a person who is willing to be subordinate, if you want Brother Xin to inherit your mantle, explain it in advance, and everything will be solved. Having said that, if you want Brother Zhu to inherit your mantle, I'm afraid Brother Xin won't be able to keep it. If you can't do it, I can do it for you. ”

The old sword saint suddenly laughed and said, "You and your grandfather are really exactly the same. Thank you, old man, but let me solve this matter myself. ”

"It's the juniors who lost their words. However, the juniors can probably guess when Brother Xin will do it next, and the seniors will know it at a glance, and it is also a good opportunity to deal with this matter. ”

"When?"

"It must be when we go down the mountain, and when the time comes, Brother Zhu and Brother Xin will inevitably go down the mountain to see each other, and Brother Xin will secretly attack and then blame us. ”

"I see what you mean. ”

"It's a little late today, so the juniors will bother for one night and go down tomorrow. ”

"It's fine. ”

After breakfast the next day, after chatting with the old sword saint father and son for a while, Ye Nanyun and Lu Chuan went down the mountain and took the boat of Wanjianmen to the south along the waterway.

Ye Wuxia took a boat to the lake few times, and his interest was still very high, while Lu Chuan was thoughtful and looked a little strange.

The fifth master asked, "Sixth brother, what's wrong with you, do you remember anything again?"

"I'm thinking about the Ten Thousand Swords Gate. ”

"Ten Thousand Swordsmen...... Are you saying that Zhu Zhaoyan said that my master was a sword killer? I still don't believe this matter, unless the master and his old man admit it himself. ”

"The words of the old sword saint should be true, but even if the old man is a sword master, he is definitely not a bad person. I was thinking about something else. ”

Lu Chuan told Ye Wuxia what he saw, and Ye Wuxia was also embarrassed.

"Every family has a scripture that is difficult to read, but you have already reminded it, and I believe that the old sword saint can handle it himself. ”

"The old sword saint loves Xin Baoguang as much as his own life, it is absolutely impossible for him to kill Xin Baoguang, but if he doesn't kill him...... I'm thinking about those who assassinated Zhu Yuguang, where did Xin Baoguang find it?"

"It's hard to find a killer in the rivers and lakes, as long as there is silver, it's all over the street. ”

"No, fifth brother, don't forget, this is Bailongjiang, and it is one acre and three points of land in Wanjianmen. For example, could someone assassinate me at the foot of the Cold Dragon Ridge? Unless...... Unless the Ten Thousand Sword Sect is completely out of control, and the old Sword Saint doesn't know anything about everything, in that case, what will the old Sword Saint family do to compete with Xin Baoguang?"

"With the martial arts of the old sword saint, how big a wave can he Xin Baoguang make?"

"As the saying goes, the golden wind knows before the cicada moves, and the impermanence of the plot does not know, and the ten Xin Baoguang who fight head-on can't get close to the old sword saint's body, but the old sword saint will not be defensive against Xin Baoguang at all, and if he plots behind his back, one Xin Baoguang is enough. Quick, let's go back!"

Lu Chuan's voice did not fall, only the sound of plopping and plopping, and when he looked for it again, there was no trace of the ship's father.

If it was a small boat, the two of them rowed back on the water, but this was a big boat swimming in the lake, and it was impossible to move it without a dozen or so people.

The boat was spinning in the middle of the lake, and the two were at a loss.

Suddenly, a big boat came from the front, Lu Chuan was overjoyed, and was about to call for help, but was covered by Ye Wuxia.

"Silence, who do you think those are?"

When Lu Chuan saw it, he was also shocked, and saw that there were hundreds of people standing on the boat from the bow to the stern, each holding a knife and a gun, and it was not good at first glance.

The two of them quickly hid in the cabin and waited for the big ship to pass.

One, two, three, in less than half an hour, three such large ships passed.

There were no other boats on the river, and the two waited for more than half an hour, and another big boat came from behind, but it was Jinyiwei sitting on it!
