Chapter Ninety-Six: The Unobtrusive Ones Always Arrive Last

At the end of November, there was a light snowfall, and the snow flew all over the sky, some on the branches, some on the mountain paths, some on the bushes, and in short, it fell into a snowy white.

At the foot of the Sword Mountain, from time to time you can see several swordsmen stepping on the snow up the mountain, their footprints are left on the mountain road, the road is blocked and long, and between the mountain paths, people are sparse.

In the cold sleeves, under the blue sky, the mist is misty.

But there will be more and more people, and everyone knows this, and now there are fewer people, it's just that the time has not yet come.

Where is this Sword Mountain?

This is the place where the World Sword Alliance is held, and once every three years, all the swordsmen from all over the world will gather here.

This mountain is thousands of zhang high, the mountain road is rugged and steep, ordinary people are simply unable to walk an inch on this mountain, and the people in the rivers and lakes who are poor in light work should also be careful for three points.

And this is only the first half of the road, and in the second half of the road, the road will be broken, and all that remains is a cliff with no road, and there is almost no place to stay.

This mountain is like an erected sword, the higher you go, the more there is no way out, and if you want to participate in the Sword Alliance of the world, you must climb this mountain, this is the first step, and it is also a step that is enough to screen out most of the people in the rivers and lakes.

When you climb the mountain, at the top of the mountain, you will see a very wide platform, as wide as if the mountain was cut off, enough to accommodate tens of thousands of people.

There are five sword platforms on this platform, and no one knows who left this sword platform, only that it is the competition platform of the Sword League in the world.

These five sword platforms are four large and one small, and the four surround one, all of which are polished from a boulder.

At the beginning of the Tianxia Sword Alliance, all the swordsmen would sit around the sword platform and compare their swordsmanship on the four great sword platforms.

There will be people who will first ascend to the sword platform to get their name, and those who recognize themselves as victors can come to the stage to challenge.

In the last four great sword platforms, there will only be one person left, and no one can challenge anyone anymore.

These four people will be the four great swordsmen in the world, and they will also compete with the last world first on the small sword platform in the center.

There are no official swordsmen in the World Sword Alliance, and all the swordsmen in the world are official officials, but the World Sword League needs to be entered into the roster, and this mountain is entered into the roster.

Only those who can climb this sword mountain are qualified to watch the contest between the world's famous swords.

In previous years, the top four in the Sword Alliance in the world were usually fixed four people, Dugu Bufu, Mu Wu, Confused Daoist (Xiaqing Daoren), and Wenjian Laosuo.

However, this year, Mu Wu is not there, and his brother-in-law Mu Qing is not even using a sword.

Therefore, who will stand in the end of Mu Wu's sword platform this time, many people are discussing, and the result is also a matter of opinion.

Some people say that it will be the new genius Tie Muyi in recent years, some people say it will be Li Si, and some people say that it will be among the variables.

In short, the results will come out soon, because the World Sword Alliance has reached the time when it is about to begin.

One after another, there were already swordsmen who had climbed to the top of the mountain and sat in the snowstorm.

There is no time regulation for the Sword Alliance in the world, as long as there is no competition to the end, it will not end.

Some swordsmen will bring their own food, but most of the swordsmen do not eat or drink, and sit on the top of the mountain for ten days and a half months.

Anyway, for a first-class master or above, if you don't eat or drink for more than ten days, you can't die.

It's an asceticism, but sword training is an asceticism.

Dugu no longer arrived on the third day, when the snow covered the mountain, and he stepped on a white snow, wearing a thick coat and a black fur cloak.

He is afraid of the cold, which everyone knows.

After going up the mountain, he didn't ask anything, didn't say anything, just found a place, sat down on the ground with his sword in his arms like all swordsmen, and waited for the moment when the sword alliance began.

Tie Muyi arrived on the fourth day, and it was noticeable that he did not carry the iconic seven iron swords on his back, but only one on his back. It seems that the rumor is indeed true, and he melted his seven swords.

Asking the swordsman to go up the mountain with the confused Taoist, one of them only cared about coughing, the other only cared about the confused, looking at the swordsmen all over the mountain, and found a place to sit down at random.

On the fifth day, a foreigner came, a swordsman of great size, and the sword he carried behind him was as large as his own.

The foreign swordsman looked at everyone present, grinned, and sat down on the ground with that ugly smile.

On the seventh day, all those who should have come had already arrived, but there was still one who had not arrived.

This is the last day before the start of the Sword Alliance, theoretically speaking, as long as it is past tonight, when the sky is white the next morning, the Sword Alliance will officially begin. Those who do not come will be treated as abstentions.

Dugu did not close his eyes, but kept looking at the clouds under the mountain, as if waiting for a person to appear.

It's a pity that the man never came, which made him look a little disappointed.

After another night, there was no one going up the mountain anymore, the top of the mountain was already full of people, and the wind and snow were a little lighter.

It's about to dawn, and it seems that the man won't be coming this year, and almost everyone thinks so.

Dugu is no longer waiting for anyone, of course they know.

The man's sword had been seen by some of the people present, but the man was not a swordsman after all, but a thief.

Tie Muyi looked relieved, because if the man came, it would be difficult for him.

This year, he came for the first time in the world.

For this reason, he also copied the scriptures that his mother asked him to copy in advance, and he didn't know what he would do in addition to practicing swords and copying scriptures in a year, and it was not easy for this child to grow up so big.

On the horizon, a ray of light had gradually emerged from the clouds, and everyone raised their heads, waiting for the moment when the light broke through.

At this time, the wind and snow on the side of the sky suddenly became chaotic.

Dugu Bufu frowned at first, and then seemed to hook some corners of his mouth.

Asked Jiansuo coughed and tapped his back, and it was rare that the confused Taoist was not confused, because he hadn't woken up yet.

Tie Muyi glanced helplessly at the sword on his back. The exotic swordsman held his hand and raised his head.

A figure appeared in the sky, as if he was stepping on a wisp of wind and snow, and as if he was stepping on a light cloud, riding the wind.

The white dress swept away the snow and finally landed on the top of the mountain.

In his arms was a man in his arms, a woman holding a sword.

"Whew, it's a good time to catch up. Li Si wiped the sweat on his forehead and said with a sigh.

In his arms, the Shuhu Girl, who was watched by a group of people, blushed, reached out and pinched Li Si's shoulder fiercely.

"S. Li Si gasped in pain, put the Shuhu girl down, looked at her and said, "What are you doing?"

Then, he noticed the swordsmen who were quietly watching them on both sides, smiled awkwardly, and pointed to the Tiger Girl and introduced.

"Ahem, this is, my cousin. ”
