Chapter 20: First Encounter

Tongxuan Valley is located in the mountain behind the Lingxiao Cliff, the mountain is verdant, the pines and cypresses are evergreen, because it is located in the shady valley, there is a layer of mist that cannot be dissolved all the year round, under the clouds and mist, the Tongxuan Valley is like a fairyland.

And Tongxuan Valley embraces a lake, the name is Mirror Lake, the lake is like its name, when it is really clear as a mirror, the waves are not prosperous, the clouds and the sky are reflected on the surface of the lake, the lake and the mountains are one in one, how can it not make people amazed.

The island is connected with the underground fire vein, not an inch of grass grows, it is a small piece of barren land, but the small pool in the center of the island is not more than a few zhang, but this barren land has become a fairy land, there is a strange iron sand in the original pool, which can be attached to the blade, that is, the rotten knife blunt axe, attached to this sand, it will also become a magic weapon that sharpens iron like mud, but the melting point of this sand is extremely high, and the ordinary furnace fire is difficult to refine, only with the help of the fire vein that breaks out once a year on the island of Xifeng, when the fire vein erupts, the blade is inserted upside down in the cold pool, under the combination of fire and water and fire in the ground fire and cold pool, In order to make the blade shine, so the island will be called Xifeng Island.

There is a lake in this valley, there is an island in the lake, and there is a pond in the island, but Ying Feiyang shuttles through the forest of Tongxuan Valley at this time, but it is incompatible with the surrounding vibrant scene.

"I haven't seen you for a long time, I wanted to praise you for a sentence that is better than in the past, but looking at you like this, I really can't praise it!"

Ying Feiyang realized this, and when he looked up, a young man was dressed in a loose pattern robe, with a seven-star Dao crown on his head, a sword in his arms, and a package on his back, although his tone was a little joking, his face was indeed friendly and smiling, as if he had been waiting for Ying Feiyang to appear for a long time.

When Ying Feiyang saw this person, the sadness between his eyebrows also lightened, and he greeted him with surprise and joy: "Senior Brother Fu Mingfu, I haven't seen you for a long time, why are you here?"

A year ago, Duoying Feiyang had fought side by side with Fu Qingming, Zhang Yizhi, and Xie Lingyan, although they had only been together for a few days, but because of life and death together, the relationship was particularly close. Since coming to Lingxiao Kendo, needless to say with Xie Lingyan, he and Zhang Yizhi often meet and get together, but Fu Qingming, because of his steady and mature work, he is highly regarded by the master, and he is often assigned tasks to go out, so he has never had the opportunity to catch up with him. Seeing each other here now, Ying Feiyang's heart is indescribably happy.

Fu Qingming said with a smile: "It's a coincidence, you participants in the Qifeng Sword Snatch have to be equipped with an older disciple to supervise and take care of it, because there are not enough people, I was also pulled to make up the number, who would have thought that it would be a group with Senior Brother Ying, now it's okay, with Senior Brother Ying's cultivation, supervision and care can be saved, and I will be busy and see the demeanor of Senior Brother Ying."

As soon as Ying Feiyang heard this, he immediately grabbed a life-saving straw and said: "Fortunately, I met Senior Brother Fu, it is really an endless road, Senior Brother Fu, you must pull me, whether you can pass the trial this time depends on you."

Fu Qingming frowned and said: "Why should Senior Brother Ying be arrogant, with your swordsmanship, there are only a few people among your own disciples who can stand side by side with you, and now it is just a mere Qifeng Sword Snatch, how can it be difficult to defeat you?"

"Alas, Senior Brother Fu, do you know something...... Ying Feiyang said the truth with a sad face, Fu Qingming listened to it, and couldn't help but sigh: "This....you are really unlucky."

"Isn't it, that's why I want you to save me, Senior Brother Fu has any useful news to reveal one or two!"

Fu Qingming said helplessly: "No, there are fourteen swords in Qifeng Sword Snatch every year, named after the twelve stars and the Taiyin Sun, and only one can be cleared, but the place where the sword is hidden is different every year, and all the hints on the bright side are contained in this package, as for the rest, I don't know anything." "Pay off the name and raise your hand, and throw the package to Ying Feiyang.

Then he said: "But Senior Brother Ying should not be discouraged, if you want to test your skills, the title of the Heavenly List is enough, Fenghai Sword Washing will focus on examining the wisdom of the heart, Senior Brother Ying is witty and clever, maybe you can be shortlisted without dancing the sword and making the sword."

Ying Feiyang only took him as a comforter, and sighed without responding, Fu Qingming smiled: "You still don't believe it, the sword washing meeting was held as early as the beginning of the establishment of the sect, and it was indeed used to measure the wisdom of the disciples at first, but my descendants did not understand the deep meaning of the predecessors, and blindly relied on the sword to fight for strength, but fell behind, although Senior Brother Ying can't move the sword, but maybe he can be blessed by misfortune and see things that others can't see."

"Alas, that's it, leave it to fate, it's a big deal to go back and continue to deceive with the master!" Ying Feiyang sighed resignedly.

The voice fell, the sky signal lit up, and Fu Qingming hurriedly stuffed the sword in his arms to Ying Feiyang: "I just talked about it, I almost delayed the business, give me your sword, and I can only use this ebony bladeless sword during the competition." ”

Ying Feiyang took the sword and started it, and compared it twice, the ebony bladeless sword was heavy, but the two sides were not bladed, and the general one used for engraving that day was the same, and he said unconsciously: "This sword is too unlucky, so give me a decent weapon."

"You want a good weapon, right, go find it yourself, and I forgot to tell you, if you can successfully pass the Qifeng sword, the sword you captured will also be regarded as a color head and belong to you, and the swords that have been refined by Xifenghai are all divine weapons, even if it is just to get the sword, it is worth your fight"

After changing the sword, Fu Qingming tore off the seal on the package again: "The package contains the detailed rules of this sword washing meeting, and other required items, the time has come, you can set off, and I wish my junior brother a victory." ”

After that, Fu Qingming left in a hurry, and disappeared in an instant.

――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――

Ying Feiyang opened the package, which contained a flint, two vegetable rolls, a sheepskin scroll, and a pouch.

There are 24 points on the map, representing the location of the 24 disciples who have passed the title test of the heavenly list, according to the "Zi Chou Yin Mao" 12 earth branches, each group has two "heaven and earth", and they are arranged into a large circle at equal distances, and the location of the flying should be the "Chendi" position in the lower right corner of the map. On the mirror lake in the picture, there are also twelve boats arranged in the same number, which can be used by the contestants to cross the lake, and nothing else.

Then open the bag, there is only a note and a hollow ring jade, the texture carved on the front of the jade is somewhat consistent with the landform drawn in the map, and the back is engraved with the word "Dibi", and there are only a few words on the note "Heaven and earth are combined, and the edge is present." Yin and yang turn, booming waves. "

"Just these few words, what kind of detailed rules are these called!" Ying Feiyang couldn't help but scold.

"Forget it, I'm not in a hurry to find death anyway, let's think about this rule first. Ying Feiyang simply took out the flower rolls in the package and ate them as he walked.

"According to their calculations, the fire vein outbreak should be tomorrow night, and it is only half a day's trip from the water and land route of Xijiantan, it seems that we are deliberately leaving time for us to fight."

"In addition, these two small flower rolls can't last tomorrow, and I have to find a way to solve it myself, so I still have flints, I don't need to drink blood, and I can improve my food by playing some birds and rabbits, but I heard that there are still some fierce beasts in the valley, and I can't hunt instead of prey." ”

It is not difficult to understand that since my piece of jade is the earth, it should be to compete with the people of the jade of the "sky", if the two jades of heaven and earth are together, they should be able to find out the location of the hidden sword...... It's just that this is still inevitable to use force, if it is really as Senior Brother Fu said, this will focus on wisdom and wisdom over swordsmanship cultivation, then where is the shortcut to not knowing the trick?"

Ying Feiyang pondered and wanted to sort out the thousands of clues, as if he had an understanding, but he owed a kick to the door.

"It's so fast!" Ying Feiyang hurriedly swallowed the last bite of the flower roll, thinking in his heart, "Now that the competition has just begun, the only person who can rush to me here should be the person in the "Chentian" position, but the victory or defeat of the sword battle this time is not at the moment, not only to find the sword, but also to keep the sword until tomorrow, so it is the best policy to recharge and wait for the opportunity." Coming in such a hurry, he is either an unwise person, or he does have the strength to overwhelm others, could it be Ren Jiuxiao who came?"

Not to mention who the person is, but seeing that Ying Feiyang swallowed the last bite of food, his temperament changed suddenly, and his eyebrows were swept away, and he was replaced by three points of chic and seven points of confidence, all of which were young talents. Stand with your sword in your hand, and wait for the comer.

This is the result of his cultivation with Qinghard yesterday, where the master competes, not only is it only the foundation of the moves, but more importantly, the momentum is fighting, the reason why Qingku has deceived for many years but no one has exposed it is to rely on the master momentum that he has tempered thousands of times, and Ying Feiyang and Qingku's eyes looked at each other all night, although he was physically and mentally exhausted, but he finally learned a fur, plus his performance in the nomination of the heavenly list was extremely eye-catching, maybe he could bluff with this.

When the comer appeared, Ying Feiyang was quite surprised.

"I thought it would be Ren Jiuxiao, but I didn't expect it to be you, Brother Nan, what a coincidence. ”

On the other side, Nanba smiled bitterly: "Unfortunately, I met you, and I was able to draw a lot." ”

Ying Feiyang took out the jade bi and bounced it high: "Brother Nan should be from Chentian, he must want my jade at this time, but with all due respect, if Brother Nan fights me now, the odds of winning are not high." ”

Nan Ba laughed at himself with a little discouragement, "Why not be high, judging from the hand you showed yesterday, I don't know how much I missed you, and I have no chance of winning at all!"

"There is a door!" Ying Feiyang said secretly in his heart, and said: "Brother Nan is too modest, I and Brother Nan are also in love, I don't want to be your enemy, it's better to fight, you and I join forces to fight with the crowd, and take another pair of jade from others, what do you think?"

Nan Ba was stunned, "Join forces?" and then held his chin and muttered: "I definitely can't beat you, it's as easy for you to grab my jade as eating and farting, but it's difficult for me to grab your jade." On the contrary, if you join forces and only rely on your strength, it is almost a sure win, as long as you are not stupid, you should know which side to choose. ”

"So, did Brother Nan agree?" Ying Feiyang remained silent, and smiled secretly in his heart, fortunately, it was Nanba who met him, and now he could not only avoid a fight, but also pull a thug.

Na Zhinanba took a step back and said, "If it was before, I would definitely have agreed without a word." Then the conversation changed, and he shook his head with a wry smile and said: "But yesterday, after listening to your words, brother, I have a great feeling, if I want to pick up the tail knife behind other people's butts all day long, and shrink my eggs when I see a master who can't be beaten, I can't use the happy and majestic Kunming sword technique in my life, even if I am lucky enough to enter the Lingxiao Sword Sect, I can only be a small role that runs errands for people." “

Nanba slowly drew the sword, so that the hand of the sword was unprecedentedly firm, the sword side came out, and then saw the compelling atmosphere, in front of Nanba and the day before yesterday as if two people, really into the Kunpeng flapping wings, swaying and soaring into the sky.

"Rather lose the jade, don't lose the sword intent, Brother Ying, yesterday you taught me sword theory, today it's time to instruct me in sword moves!"
