Troubled times, that is, the era of warriors.

Since the beginning of the dispute between the thirteen countries, the rivers and lakes of the world have faintly had a tendency of a hundred schools of thought to contend.

Until the beginning of the conflict of the Thirteen Kingdoms, there were many sects in the rivers and lakes in the world, and the general trend had been achieved.

In this era when you can rely on your fists to eat and fight the world, even if many people don't have the talent or chance to cultivate, they can more or less practice martial arts.

When the dispute between the thirteen countries ended, and the four countries were officially in full force, the rivers and lakes of the world were faintly divided into four rivers and lakes with their own characteristics.

Although they are all under the supervision of the imperial court shadow dragon guard and the control of the law department, they have a good degree of freedom, and they have always paid attention to the rivers and lakes.

There are many lone wanderers in the rivers and lakes of the Northern Wei Dynasty, and few people are good at themselves, and most of them are just one or two disciples who inherit martial arts, and they are generally called rangers, regardless of good or bad. It is precisely for this reason that there are not many sects in the Northern Wei Dynasty. However, the rangers of the Northern Wei Dynasty were relatively united, with a stronger sense of family and country than the other three countries, and they were also very active in the matter of marching into the army.

The rivers and lakes of Nanshu are relatively simple, when Shuzhou is still within the jurisdiction of Nanshu, the rivers and lakes of Nanshu are dominant, there are Shuzhou Tangmen in the north, Xiangzhou Xijian Pond in the south, and Cangzhou Kutuo Temple in the east. The three sects pressed the entire Nanshu rivers and lakes to stand up, but it was also the three sects that supported the entire Nanshu rivers and lakes. In addition to removing Shuzhou, it is a south and an east two dominance.

The rivers and lakes of Xiyueshu are the least like rivers and lakes, like a pond guarded by a fisherman's family. Because the people in the rivers and lakes of the Western Yueshu have forbidden the possession of weapons since the time of the Yueshu state, and those who hold swords and sharp weapons must all be supervised by the imperial court and recorded them one by one, so as to prevent the chivalrous people in the rivers and lakes from cultivating martial arts to prohibit them with martial arts. Therefore, the rivers and lakes of the Yueshu Kingdom have more boxers and martial artists, and the armed martial artists are more for the imperial court, and they are the 'eagle dogs' of the imperial court, otherwise it would be a pity to cultivate oneself.

Often people from all over the world have nothing to do, and lobbyists after tea and dinner can't help but feel sorry for the rivers and lakes of the Yueshu country, and it is difficult to have any lively things as a talking point.

It's like Daqian, Southern Shu, and Northern Wei, today he duels with him, and tomorrow this sect will make trouble with that sect...... And a little bit of saliva through the storyteller's mouth, not to mention how exciting.

It's a good dish for wine and a good snack for tea, which makes people feel angry and amazing.

It is precisely because of this that Xue Yu and Chang'an, who wanted to be swordsmen in the Northern Wei Dynasty, were deeply in the palace and could not help but indulge in martial arts; Jiang Gang, Daozhuang Qin Family, Gongye Family, Yin Family, Taohuawu, Hualou and so on in Daqian; Kutuo Temple and Sword Washing Pond, which were leading the way in Nanshu, and Tang Gate, which were not counted in Southern Shu.

In Nanshu, Kutuo Temple and Washing Sword Pond are not only major sects, but also very distinctive sects.

Kutuo Temple is the place of Buddhism, and you must become a monk in this door, and abide by the rules and precepts of the monks, so this alone blocks the footsteps of many people who want to practice martial arts.

However, even so, there are still a large number of monks in Kutuo Temple, and those who wish to enter this door are almost all people who have experienced hardships and misery, except for those who believe in Buddhism.

The sword washing pool is a place for sword cultivation, and those who enter this sect disciple only practice one sword in their lives, and the selection of disciples is extremely harsh, even if it is a servant retinue in the sect, it must be a swordsman who can use a sword and a sword. It can be seen that the disciples in the Sword Washing Pool wish that the disciples in the sect were all born sword embryos, and they had extraordinary sword hearts.

Such strict conditions also mean that the number of disciples in the Sword Washing Pool is not large, but it is better than the fine, and the overall strength of the sect is definitely second to none.

At the beginning of November every year, the master of the sword pond, Zhujia, and the abbot of Kutuo Temple, Master Huiyin, will meet friends with chess and have a small gathering.

Last year, the owner of the sword washing pond was a guest in the Kutuo Temple in Cangzhou, and this year it should be invited by the Xiangzhou sword washing pool to invite Master Huiyin to come as a guest.

Zhujia specially set the place of the banquet on the sword mountain of the sword washing pool, which made Master Huiyin couldn't help but be surprised, because the sword mountain has always been the treasure of the sword washing pool and the place of inheritance.

It is said that the swords in the Sword Washing Pond are all from Sword Mountain, and even many famous swords in the world have been passed down from this.

Sword Mountain is located in the sect of the Washing Sword Pool, which converges on the top of the mountain like a triangle on all sides, with a total of four climbing steps in the southeast, south, and northwest, which is for the disciples in the sect to better select their destined swords.

The swords of the entire sword washing pool are all collected by the masters and disciples of the sword washing pool in the world, and they are built and gathered year by year by relying on the extraordinary sword casting technology of the sword washing pool, which shows the enthusiasm of the sword washing pool for swords.

According to rumors, all the disciples of the Sword Washing Pool can not return to the corpse, but the sword must be returned to the Sword Mountain, so that the fallen leaves can return to the roots, so that they can always be.

I saw the abbot of Kutuo Temple, Huiyin, with a ring scar on his head, wearing an old robe, kind eyebrows and kind eyes, and his hand wrapped around the Buddha beads looked at the hill full of swords and said with the Buddha name: "Amitabha, the pool master, I'm afraid this move is inappropriate, a poor monk actually came to the important place of your sect's inheritance, it is not that the pool master has made a mistake." ”

The master of the Sword Washing Pool, Zhu Jia, waved his hand and said with an indifferent look: "Master Huiyin is too worried, the reason why Sword Mountain is the foundation of my Sword Washing Pool is because my Sword Washing Pool disciple has to choose a sword that will accompany him for life among the thousands of sword mountains inserted in this sword mountain since he started. However, everything talks about a fate, and it cannot be forced. So I brought the master here to watch the scenery of Sword Mountain, it is also harmless, if the master is destined to be able to take away one or two swords, I give the master what's the matter, isn't it just in response to the master's Buddha in the Buddha's words. ”

Standing casually and standing in the sword washing pond master bamboo armor from a distance looks like a sword hidden in the sheath in general, the posture is straight, a body full of heroic spirit, look at the face when he is young must also be handsome and chic and righteous like a gentleman, the tiger's mouth in the right hand has a thick callus, at a glance it is caused by holding the sword for a long time.

"According to what the pool master said, the poor monk's heart is not good, and the Buddha's heart is not sound and fearless enough. Since it is difficult to be gracious, the poor monk is respectful and obedient, and the scenery of this sword mountain is very spectacular and charming. ”

Looking at the thousands of swords inserted in the mountain, some of the sword body is soft and swaying in the wind, some of the cold light is flashing and breathtaking, and there are old ancient swords rust peeling off...... The length is different, and the staggered fall on the mountain, Huiyin feels that the sword mountain is like a sword soaring into the sky.

"Hahaha, Master Huiyin even told a joke, master, please, let's climb the mountain and I'll take you to see it slowly. "The master of the sword washing pond made a gesture of please, the two have known each other for a long time and are old friends for many years, naturally they will not be polite, Huiyin is a guest, and he should go first.

Although it is a sword mountain, it is not very high, just a high platform. All the way up the stairs, except for the steps, on both sides are dizzying long swords stuck in the mountain.

The master of the sword washing pool, Zhujia, is the origin of some of the swords of the Huiyin masters, which have extraordinary meanings or twists and turns.

"Master, please see, the sword body is pale cyan, like a green cloud flowing is the 'Qingyu Sword', which was left on the battlefield by an ancient hero who died in battle, and was later purchased by my sword washing pool at a high price. ”

"This sword is the third generation of my sword washing ancestor back then, and a sword cultivator at the same time at the time obtained the trophy, according to records, at that time both of them were the same realm of you and I are now the peak of the Liangyi realm, only one step away from the Great Perfection, when the war shook the rivers and lakes. It was also that battle that let the people of the entire rivers and lakes know that the lethality of sword cultivation was so terrifying. ”

......

The master of the sword washing pond has to tell Master Huiyin of Kutuo Temple one by one, and he doesn't feel annoyed at all. The master also listened carefully to the story of the bamboo armor, and expressed a strong interest, and sometimes when he saw the sword he was interested in, he would ask about the origin.

Let Master Huiyin, I can't help but feel that this sword is full of legendary history, if it is not for the sword washing pool has been collected here, some swords do not know where they will be buried by sinking, and their owners are not known.

"This broken sword, Master Huiyin, have you ever remembered?" asked Zhu Jia, pointing to a broken sword that was still shining with cold light, and the body was divided into two pieces and inserted into the mountain.

Master Huiyin clasped his hands together, "Amitabha, the master of the pool is smiling, and the poor monk has a short knowledge, please give advice!"

"Hahaha, Master Huiyin, the monks don't speak, we only treat things and not people, and it has nothing to do with face. ”

Bamboo Armor said this, Hui Yin said with a pale face: "The pool master has a lot of eyes, the poor monk does lie to spend the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, this sword I remember well, it should be called 'Xingke' is your master's sword, and the former host of my temple was defeated after the broken sword and went into hiding." ”

Huiyin couldn't help but fold his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name.

Zhujia's eyes were full of remembrance, "Yes, I didn't expect that with just one move, my master was unfortunately defeated by the former host of your temple." It's a pity that my master was too radical and actually broke the sword of sword cultivation, which means that he will not use the sword in this life, and he will abandon the sword and go into hiding. ”

You must know that for the disciples of the Sword Washing Pool, the sword is their own life, and breaking the sword is naturally breaking their life.

Of course, it doesn't mean to really die, and the people who wash the sword pool are not stupid and crazy to this point, but it just means that they are not worthy of using the sword anymore.

Master Huiyin pinched the Buddha beads in his hand, closed his eyes slightly, folded his hands together "Amitabha Buddha", and said with a long sigh: "Blame the previous presiding over not enough to cultivate the mind, and the monk actually had a competitive heart, which caused the sword washing pool predecessor to break the sword and break the halberd, it is a pity, it is really the sin of my Buddhism." ”

The bamboo armor dragged Master Huiyin's arm, otherwise Master Huiyin really bowed down, "This is the case with people in the rivers and lakes, the master does not need to blame himself, let alone add all the blame to the Buddha's door, King Ming also has a rage to incarnate the Buddha fire to burn the karma, what is wrong." ”

"Master Chi, the Buddha nature is so high, it's a pity not to enter my Buddhism, it's a pity for the Buddhism!"

Huiyin's words, but it really made Zhujia embarrassed, although he has a good relationship with you, but can't let me shave my hair and believe in the Buddha, quickly diverted the topic and talked about something else with Master Huiyin.

When he was about to reach the top of the Sword Mountain, Hui Yin couldn't help but suddenly ask: "Master Chi, the poor monk remembers that the 'Dao Yin Sword' more than a hundred years ago seems to have a lot of relationship with your sect, I can't help but be a little curious, I don't know if I can reveal it!"

Zhujia motioned for Master Huiyin to move forward and sit down next to the stone table where vegetarian tea had already been prepared, and there was a chessboard on the edge of the stone table.

Zhujia poured Huiyin's tea to the full, and after drinking a cup himself, he sighed and said, "There's nothing that can't be said, come, Master Huiyin, let's talk while eating." ”
