Ten years ago, a man with a black sword in his hand crossed the river and traveled thousands of miles eastward, not to ask the contemporary sword fairy for the sword, but to solve the puzzle.

It is better to travel thousands of miles than to read 10,000 books, and all the man did was to figure out what the two words recorded in the book meant.

But it backfired, and along the way, his sword became sharper and sharper, while his doubts became more and more confused.

His destination at that time was not Chang'an City, and he had no interest in challenging Qinglian at all.

In order to answer the doubts in his heart, he went east.

This person is a contemporary sword master, and it can be said that although his name as a sword master has the strength to prove it, it may be an accident in terms of luck.

If Qinglian can't be defeated, there will be no Sword Master.

But few people in the world know that before that man, another man from the far west traveled thousands of miles to the east.

The man's name was Chu Weiyan.

The story stems from two gambling contracts, and at that time this man was already the number one swordsman in the Chu State. After he had defeated the last sword wielder in his country, the man's words made him feel that his dignity had been challenged.

If you can come out of Chang'an City alive, Lao Tzu will call you grandpa!

If I lose, I will never use a sword in this life!

Deal!

The content of the bet is not to defeat Qinglian, but to come out of Chang'an City alive, which is a contempt for himself.

This bet is very interesting, if you can't come out of Chang'an City alive, let alone use a sword, you won't be able to come back to the appointment at all.

But a bet is a bet, not just a one-sided bet.

The most important thing for a swordsman is, of course, the sword, and no longer using a sword in this life is also the most ruthless bet as a swordsman, which is the bet made by him, the first swordsman of the Chu State.

The first gambling contract began, and at that time, everyone knew that there was a sword immortal in Chang'an City, named Qinglian. Qinglian has a famous sword at the head of the Heavenly Sword in her hand, which is a great river.

He left the man's life behind to wait for him to fulfill his promise. He lifted the Qinggang sword in his hand in order to challenge Qinglian.

From Western Chu to Eastern Tang, this man named Chu Weiyan carried a green steel sword upside down, and the more battles he fought along the way, his swordsmanship became more and more meticulous.

But at that time, the world's top sword master was not on that road, but in Chang'an City. There is also one in South Vietnam, but that person rarely uses swords, so his reputation is not obvious.

In this way, two men, who might never have seen each other, traveled east for different purposes.

One is to challenge the sword immortal, and the other is to travel thousands of miles to solve puzzles.

Their encounter may not be accidental, and it is not easy for two sword masters to miss each other on the same path.

Chu Weiyan met the man with the black sword in his hand, so he challenged the other party with the sword in his hand.

But the other party was disdainful of himself, and he didn't pay attention to his sword at all, let alone him as a person.

Insulted, he insisted on using his sword, wanting to use the sword to defend his dignity, but he was defeated.

It was his first defeat, and it was not that he could not accept defeat, although he was arrogant and arrogant and his dignity was higher than his head, he was not the kind of person who was discouraged when he lost.

What he couldn't accept was humiliation, and that time he and his sword were severely humiliated.

Because that battle was not a two-person sword discussion, there was no sword on the other side at all.

'You don't deserve my sword. That's the answer on the other side.

As the number one swordsman in the Chu State, he was actually said by the other party to not know what a sword was at all. Of course he knew what a sword was, and a sword was dignity! These were the words he shouted hoarsely after his defeat, but the other side ignored him.

Just because of a gamble, he can go to Chang'an City to ask Qinglian for a sword, defending the dignity of the sword in his hand. But before he went to Chang'an City, he was so humiliated by another man, so he was naturally annoyed and angry, and he let out cruel words in anger.

This cruel sentence is to let the other party go to Chang'an City and challenge the sword immortal!

This is the second bet.

It also became a one-sided bet with this man.

The first bet was about to be lost, and the most important thing as a swordsman had been lost, so he used his name as the first swordsman of the Chu State to gamble, which was the most important thing besides his sword.

Maybe it's disappointed with his sword, or more likely it's disappointed with all the people in the world who use it. The man on the other side just said a word lightly, and then flicked his sleeve away.

The phrase 'why not' shows that the man doesn't care.

I don't care about his bets, I don't care about his anger, I don't care about challenging the sword immortal. In that person's opinion, going to Chang'an City seemed to be no different from going to other places, it was just a journey.

It was another one-sided bet, and the other party did not bet at all, but he could not fail to abide by it.

He knew that he was no longer qualified to go to Chang'an City, because the first bet had already begun to be fulfilled, and the green steel sword was tightly tied by him with chains, and he stayed in place and waited for the outcome of the second bet.

In the end, it was known to all, that man became a modern-day sword master, and he could only carry a broken sword that was gradually rusting.

He waited for the man who thought he would not return. Unexpectedly, the man ignored him at all, but broke the green lotus and returned to South Vietnam with disappointment.

It wasn't until the news of the name of the Sword Saint came that he returned to Chu with the green steel sword that was bound by chains.

It seemed that he had gone back alive, but only he knew that he had returned to Chu alive because he was not qualified to enter Chang'an City at all.

I went back to make an appointment.

The man who made his first bet was not waiting for him to go to the appointment, and the world was so big that it was already looking for another place to stay.

But he couldn't help but abide by it, the dignity that he had tried his best to guard was trampled into the dirt by those two bets, and his willingness to gamble and lose was his last dignity.

In both bets, he lost, and he lost completely.

There is no longer the high-spirited Chu Weiyan who used to carry a green steel sword everywhere to defend his dignity. Only with a simple knife on his waist, Yan Weichu, who was sloppy and had no eyes in his eyes.

Originally, his name was Chu Weiyan, and now his name is Yan Weichu.

Originally, he used a sword, but now he uses a simple sword.

He thought that he would lose that battle because his sword was not meticulous enough, so even if he switched to a sword, he was still pursuing finer.

In Xu Changan's view, that kind of gambling contract is just talk, not many people will abide by it, in fact, most of them are like this. Even the two men who gambled with him didn't take his bet seriously at all.

The first one is just angry.

And the second didn't care about him at all, and the sword of the first swordsman of the Chu State disappointed him. It was a disappointment that no other so-called swordsman in the world knew what a sword was, or rather, it was a kind of loneliness.

He had seen countless swords for thousands of miles to the east, and each one brought disappointment, until he saw this first swordsman of the Chu State, he was even more disappointed.

That's why he agreed to go to Chang'an City, no longer to solve his doubts, because he knew that his doubts could no longer be solved, just to see the sword of that sword immortal.

In order to be able to be disappointed again.

But when he arrived in Chang'an City, he was still disappointed, because he didn't see the big river at the head of the Heavenly Sword, and only saw a green lotus that could no longer lift the sword.

He won, as if he had lost again.

......

Nine-foot Tianhe three-foot sword, the first swordsman in Chu State. These names are long in the past for today's Yan Weichu, and he firmly let go of the past, in order to be willing to gamble and lose.

He doesn't care if others keep their promises, but his dignity tells him that he must keep them.

Even if the sword on his back is unwilling, he must be willing.

Seeing that Yang Hejiu's sword began, he actually regretted the two bets at the beginning, stared at Yang Hejiu carefully, nodded after a moment and said, "It only takes ten years to reach the upper three realms, and your talent is better than most people." ”

Yang Hejiu shook his head slightly, "The teacher said that my talent is very poor. ”

is still telling the truth, and it is precisely because it is the truth that it will be more shocking and hateful.

Staring at this person, Yan Weichu admitted that his hands were itchy, and the green steel sword wrapped around his back was also buzzing and vibrating, he didn't want to use the knife now, he understood that using a knife was an insult to that broken star, in his eyes, every sword had its own dignity, and the dignity of that broken star could not be desecrated.

So even if his hands are itchy, he won't use the knife, he only wants to use the sword.

But he couldn't draw his sword again.

How about itchy hands?

He had nothing to gamble on now, and if he had lost both his sword and his name, all that was left to gamble was the last.

The man looked up at the sky, and after a long time, he said lightly: "The old man can't make a move on you, but my hands are itchy now." If you can come out of Shangwu City alive, the old man's life will be given to you immediately. ”

Xu Changan was speechless, "Why should we bet with you?"

Yan Weichu laughed, shook his head and said, "He won't refuse." ”

Everyone was puzzled, and Xu Changan was even more puzzled, "Why?"

"Because you don't want to die here. ”

Lin Ying was furious, "You dare to do it to us?"

Yan Weichu was threatened, but he was not unhappy in the slightest, but said calmly: "I admit that I don't dare, but even I don't know if I can believe this confession." You'd better not believe it, it's for the good of you and the state of Chu. ”

This sentence is very honest, so honest that everyone feels that only Yang Hejiu can say such honest words. Killing you Chu will be in great trouble, so I will try my best to endure it, but I'm not sure if I can bear it.

The crowd was silent. In the eyes of everyone, if Yang Hejiu goes to Shangwu City, he will definitely die. But if you really don't take this bet, the group will most likely die under his knife now.

Facing the powerhouse of the Nine-Foot Tianhe Realm, Yang Hejiu might still have the strength to fight before he was injured, but now he was obviously seriously injured twice.

Without waiting for Xu Changan to turn around and dissuade Yang Hejiu, the man in black had already spoken: "Okay." ”

Xu Changan hurriedly waved his hand and said, "Don't count, don't count." ”

Yan Weichu didn't pay attention to Xu Chang'an's troubles at all, nodded with some satisfaction, and said: "With this gambling contract, I can guarantee that you will be safe and sound in the territory of Chu State, and you don't have to be so sneaky anymore." ”

Yang Hejiu opened his mouth and asked, "How long is the deadline?" ”

"It's okay until I die. ”

Then he turned and left.

All that was left was stunned.
