Chapter 2 Flying Sword asked
Flying Sword asked.
Ling Tianfeng, a solitary peak on the periphery of the Heavenly Sword Sect, the Flying Sword Dao will be held here every three years, and only through selection can one become a disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
In the crowd, Cangma looked a little out of place with the people around him. All of the people present were sixteen or seventeen-year-old young talents, and he was the only one who was nearly forty years old.
If it was okay ten years ago, there was no one on the rivers and lakes at that time who did not know Cangma, and at that time, the rivers and lakes were full of legends about Cangma.
The turning point of his life was the time when Jindan was broken, and since then he has been in seclusion and seclusion, and he will no longer set foot in the rivers and lakes. But although people are not in the rivers and lakes, those legends are still there. So although these juniors have heard of his name, they have never seen his appearance.
"Hey, uncle, you're so old, and you're still here to join in the fun?"
The years are unforgiving, and I can't imagine that I have become an "uncle" in the mouth of others when I re-enter the rivers and lakes, which is really embarrassing.
He didn't pay any attention, but the young man's ridicule continued.
"Uncle, I advise you to go back and forth from where you want, the sword has no eyes, if you put your life into it, it will be more than worth the loss, haha. ”
"Yes, uncle, now it's the world of our young people, you should retire, you should retire, you should wash your hands in the golden basin, don't follow us anymore. ”
"Let's find a cool place to stay, uncle......"
Cangma still didn't say a word.
Compared to these young men, he was indeed old, not only with gray hair on his forehead, but also with many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes, and his skin began to slack and become dull.
But his gaze has not changed, and he is still so bright.
He kept staring at the boy in the distance, the little boy in a cyan robe standing in front of the octagonal pavilion. Although this boy was only ten years old this year, he was one of the twelve chief examiners of the Flying Sword Question.
Twelve examiners, each in a group of three, guard the four directions of the pavilion, southeast, northwest and northwest. In order to pass the assessment, you must break through the defenses established by the examiners, remove the flying flower token hanging from the corner of the pavilion, and then enter the pavilion.
Cangma looked at the boy, not trying to bully the small.
It's because, that's his son.
He wouldn't be mistaken, the boy was wearing a strangely shaped metal pendant around his neck. This pendant originally belonged to Cangma, and was later given to the child's mother, who knew that the child's mother would never give it to someone else.
Although the boy is Cangma's son, he is now surnamed Xiao.
He is now the son of Xiao Chengfeng, the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Not only was his son snatched away by Xiao Chengfeng, but even his most beloved woman has now become Xiao Chengfeng's wife.
This is a man's greatest shame, but Cangma can only choose to forbear. Because the martial arts rivers and lakes and the world of cultivation are completely two concepts.
Martial arts people practice martial arts, and forming a golden pill is the pinnacle. But for cultivators, forming a golden pill is just their starting point.
Jin Dan is the watershed between cultivators and martial arts people, and it is also the bottleneck of martial arts people's cultivation.
In the past hundred years, the aura of heaven and earth has become thinner and thinner, and after the formation of the golden pill, ordinary cultivation methods have almost no effect. The Jindan period is followed by the Yuan Infant Period, and there is a long span between the two, and it is necessary to absorb a very large amount of heaven and earth aura in order to refine the Jindan as the cause. However, today's thin aura simply could not meet this demand of cultivators.
The reason why the four major sects have become the four major sects of cultivation is that each of them has mastered a unique method of cultivating the truth.
Among them, the Heavenly Sword Sect is the strongest and the most unique. After forming the Golden Pill, the Heavenly Sword Sect changed its original idea of cultivating the truth, refining all the true qi in the body and calling it sword qi, and this sword qi is divided into four stages:
Stage 1: Psionic Sword Qi;
Second Stage: Purple Sword Qi;
The third stage: Xuanhuang Sword Qi;
Fourth stage: Tian Yuan Sword Qi.
The higher the level of the sword qi, the stronger the power, and when the Yuan sword qi is cultivated to the peak realm, it can break through the golden pill in one fell swoop and become a Yuan Ying powerhouse.
However, the benefits of sword qi are far more than that, cultivators only need to inject sword qi into the sword to control the sword in the air.
Therefore, even if they are both cultivators in the Jindan period, the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect can fly with swords and kill people with flying swords, which is the strength of being a cultivator.
Therefore, these teenagers in the martial arts all sharpened their heads and wanted to worship under the Heavenly Sword Sect.
However, the Heavenly Sword Sect has always been strict in accepting apprentices, and once every three years, the Flying Sword asked, and there were only a few people who could be successfully selected.
This time, a few self-contained and brave teenagers stepped forward to challenge, but all of them were defeated. Originally, I thought that the little boy was the weakest link, but I didn't expect that he was just ten years old, and he was already a master with a second-stage sword qi (purple-level sword qi), and his sword skills were not weaker than the other examiners.
"Senior Brother Tianju, your skills are one step further than two months ago!"
"It's over, Senior Brother Wang," the boy smiled slightly, and the flying sword in the distance drew an arc back into the scabbard after turning back in the air, and he looked like a little adult.
The young man who had not yet stepped forward to challenge immediately began to chatter.
"No wonder he's so powerful, it turns out that he is Xiao Tianju!"
"A true cultivation genius that the Heavenly Sword Sect has not encountered in a hundred years!"
"His grandfather is the real person in charge Xiao Yuanhe, and his father is the sect master Xiao Chengfeng, how can his cultivation be weak!"
Yes, he was born with a golden spoon in his mouth since he was a child, and as soon as he landed, he was loved by thousands of people, and he had to be passed on by the real person in charge, so it is strange that his cultivation was not happy.
Therefore, Xiao Tianju formed the Golden Pill when he was eight years old and became the youngest Jindan stage master since the Heavenly Sword Sect, and I am afraid that at most two years, he will become the youngest Yuan Infant Stage master since the Heavenly Sword Sect.
Cangma quietly saw everything in his eyes, and this time he was bound to win. There are two reasons why he didn't make a move, one is that he wants to see more and listen more, and the other is that he doesn't want to hurt Xiao Tianju by mistake.
So he decided to switch to the other side and make another move, not wanting to do it from Xiao Tianju's side.
"Xiao Tianju. Cangma muttered in a voice that no one else could hear, then shook his head with a smile.
At this time, Xiao Tianju also happened to inadvertently see the Cangma in the crowd, and when he looked at each other, he found that the middle-aged man was smiling at him, and it was a very contemptuous mockery.
It was a mockery, but it was nothing more than a self-deprecation, "Tianju, foal, must be her name!" so he laughed, shook his head, and then turned away.
His contemptuous behavior obviously stimulated Xiao Tianju, and no one dared to ignore him like this. So he began to keep an eye on Cangma secretly, and he wanted to give Cangma a little color to see.
When Cangma turned and walked away, the young men began to heckle again.
"Uncle, after watching it for a long time, just left?"
"It seems that the uncle has figured it out, this is not the place where the uncle should come. ”
"Hey, uncle, the way down the mountain is here, you're on the wrong track!"
"It seems that this uncle is really old and confused......"
Cangma has long passed the age of impulsiveness, so he never responds to these voices around him. But the more he did this, the more the young people thought he was incompetent.
"Hey, why did the uncle go to the south gate. ”
"Maybe I saw that the examiners guarding the east gate were too strong, and I was afraid. ”
The young men who took the lead also followed Cangma from the east gate to the south gate, as if they were waiting to see him make a fool of himself.
Cangma followed the outer circle from the east gate to the south gate, and Xiao Tianju walked a few steps slowly around the pavilion and also came to the south gate.
The two looked at each other again, and Cangma sensed the provocation conveyed in Xiao Tianju's eyes. "Isn't this the telepathy between father and son?" he smiled again.
The more he was like this, the stronger Xiao Tianju's hostility towards him became. He thought that Cangma was afraid of himself, so he deliberately went around in circles like this. This is the first time he is on duty to guard the flying sword and asks, can you let such a person take advantage of the loophole, "Since you want to go around with me, then go around to the end, unless you don't enter the Heavenly Sword Sect, you must pass under me!"
Cangma also began to sense that something was wrong, and he walked faster and faster, constantly weaving through the crowd, going around from south to west, and from west to north.
But no matter what, Xiao Tianju will always follow his footsteps and constantly change positions.
Moreover, from a certain moment, Xiao Tianju's eyes never left Cangma. Maybe there was something else in this man that attracted him, but he couldn't tell. He was so angry now that he just wanted to knock him to the ground with one move, because Cangma was really upsetting him.
There is a time limit for Flying Sword to ask, there is a pillar of incense in the pavilion, if Cangma doesn't do it before this pillar of incense burns out, he will lose this opportunity.
So he couldn't wait any longer.
"Looks like this kid has killed me. He suddenly raised his head, his gaze went straight to Xiao Tianju, and a meaningful smile rose at the corner of his mouth.
"He's finally going to do it. Xiao Tianju said secretly, the sword on his back was already eager to try. With just one move, he wants to let this person lose under his sword with one move!
Cangma stepped into the circle in one step, and the sudden change in momentum made the group of young people around him couldn't help but be surprised.
But when people recognized that it was still the same uncle just now, they no longer had any expectations for him.
Twenty zhang away from the pavilion, Cangma's pace accelerated little by little.
"It's useless, his footwork is too slow, and rushing through like this is simply for nothing. ”
When the speed of the horse reaches a certain level, it stabilizes.
"This uncle looks choked!"
The trajectory of Cangma's march was always in a straight line, the shortest straight line connecting him and Xiao Tianju, his hand was always pressed on the sword, and his eyes were always staring ahead.
"This is simply sending him to death, does he want to fight the flying sword head-on?"
The flying sword broke through the air, and the speed increased to the extreme in an instant, and it shot head-on.
The purple sword shadow expanded rapidly in Cangma's pupils, and the strong wind from the sword qi made his clothes crack.
In the next moment, the flying sword would split him in half!
But he didn't draw his sword, his hand was still the same as before, just pressed tightly to his waist.
"That uncle really doesn't want to die!" someone almost said as the crowd stood neutral.
"Even if he wants to draw his sword now, it's too late!"
"There is no way he can avoid this sword!"
"He's dead!"
Whether he knew how to swordsmanship or not, he just ran straight over. People almost saw the blood of Cangma splattered on the spot, and if it was not split in half, at least one of its arms had to be cut off.
The corners of Xiao Tianju's mouth showed a hint of mockery, "It's really boring, I didn't expect it to be such a good person." ”
But he was too soon to be complacent!
At the feet of Cangma, where his toes were stepping, more than a dozen cracks suddenly appeared in the heavy bluestone slab. Centered on the toes, the cobwebs spread out tightly to the periphery.
The flying sword hung less than half an inch above his head, but time seemed to freeze!
At that moment, his steps did not retreat, but advanced, and the strength of his whole body was concentrated on the tips of his toes, and then exploded.
The power of this kick was too strong, so the bluestone slab was stepped on by him, and with the help of this rebounding force, his speed was instantly increased to the extreme!
This is the real speed of Cangma, an unexpected speed!
No one saw how he avoided the sword, only saw the flying sword stabbed into the air, and the whole root sank into the ground with a "poof".
At the same time, Cangma had already swept in front of Xiao Tianju like an eagle, just a rise and fall, leaving only a phantom shadow wherever it passed.
No one spoke, and probably they simply didn't have time to speak.
Because, Cangma drew his sword.
The eight sides fought out of the sheath by an inch, and the hearts of those who were illuminated by the sword were cold.
He didn't even need to pull the sword out of the scabbard completely, Xiao Tianju had already lost, because he didn't have a sword in his hand, and Cangma had a sword in his hand.
This is the way of the sword that Cangma has comprehended.
Flying swords are powerful in killing, but a qualified swordsman will not let the sword easily leave his control.
Once the sword is unsheathed, Xiao Tianju will definitely die!
Cangma knew his sword, so he didn't dare, because Xiao Tianju was his son after all.
Therefore, the sword of the Bafang battle was paused for three inches.
Clear-eyed people can see at this time who loses and who wins.
Cangma also thought that this was enough, but Xiao Tianju was not.
He is a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers, not to mention being careful and arrogant, how can he bear to lose to a country man in public?
Taking advantage of Cangma's hesitation, Xiao Tianju slapped his arm with a backhand, knocking the sword back into its sheath. Immediately afterwards, he clenched his palms into a fist and attacked again and again, and his shots were particularly ruthless, and his moves directly attacked people's death holes.
Xiao Tianju has grown so big, and no one has ever forced him to be so embarrassed, so he can't lose, and he can't afford to lose!
The opponent is nothing more than a poor and destitute country man.
He Xiao Tianju is a peerless genius that the Heavenly Sword Sect has not encountered in a hundred years, he is the only grandson of the head of the Heavenly Sword Sect, he is the son of the sect master of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and he is the future of the Heavenly Sword Sect...... He really has too many halos on his head, and that's why he can't lose.
But the more he fought, the more frightened he became, because he didn't know how to win, and his every move seemed to have been seen through by the other party.
One is getting harder and harder, and the other is getting easier and easier to defend.
Cangma's fists and feet were really powerful, which made Xiao Tianju feel like he was drowning, he felt as if he was entangled in endless algae, and the more he struggled, the tighter those algae became entangled.
He couldn't attack for a long time, and his moves became more and more chaotic, beads of sweat kept coming out, and a small face turned red.
But Cangma was laughing, he couldn't help but want to play with this kid twice, "Boy, Jiang is still old and spicy." He said in his heart.
And at this moment, the other eleven Heavenly Sword Sect disciples also rushed over, and the young sect master was in a bitter struggle, and they absolutely couldn't sit idly by.
"Senior Brother Tianju!"
Eleven flying swords shot at Cangma from behind in unison!
Instantly!
"This kid!" Cangma sighed in his heart, Xiao Tianju was already red-eyed, and he seemed to have to fight with himself to break the net.
But the eleven flying swords were just there, and he himself could dodge them, but if he dodged them, the kid would probably suffer.
Xiao Tianju's anger was already confused, and even his eyes became confused, how could he avoid these eleven flying swords......
With a "choking" sound, the eight-sided battle came out of its sheath.
Cangma protected Xiao Tianju, and then danced a sword flower with his backhand, stopping the eleven flying swords at the same time.
That force is too strong, even he can't resist it, fortunately, the eight-sided battle has the ability to unload the force, Cangma's wrist force shook the sword body, just look at the streamer, "Boom, boom, boom" Eleven flying swords were thrown out together.
Even if he barely parried over, there was still a surge of qi and blood in his body, and he took two steps back in a row, and before he could gain a firm foothold, he received a heavy punch in the chest.
The true qi that had just been mentioned was smashed away by Xiao Tianju with a punch before it could be gathered.
This kid has always been protected in his arms, so this punch caught Cangma off guard.
So I couldn't help it anymore, and a mouthful of blood spurted out with a "wow".
"Damn it, stinky boy!" Cangma was also annoyed, he had been a bandit for more than 30 years, and his temper was naturally not trivial.
Even if you are your own son today, Lao Tzu has to teach you a lesson!
Xiao Tianju didn't give up when he got cheap, but Cangma didn't give him a chance anymore, and stretched out his big hand to pull it up.
"Let go of him and stop hurting my junior brother Tianju!"
On the other side, eleven flying swords made a comeback.
"Good!" Cangma spat on the blood.
These people didn't give him a respite at all, and the little thing in his hand kept kicking.
An arm was almost destroyed by this little bastard.
He gritted his teeth and threw it at the little bastard, then jumped up and picked off the flying flower token from the corner of the pavilion.
As long as you enter the pavilion with the token, you will be considered clear!
Cangma planned to do so, but how could those eleven Heavenly Sword Sect disciples let him pass?
He injured the young sect master, and he still wanted to enter the Heavenly Sword Sect to apprentice, which was simply a fool's dream.
Eleven flying swords forced him to the ground, he really wanted to kill, but he couldn't!
But if he didn't kill, he would only be able to hold out for two more rounds at most.
After all, a powerful sword move must be a killing move, and I have never heard of a swordsman who can defeat the enemy by defense alone.
Cangma glanced back at Xiao Tianju, "That's it!" After speaking, he ran out of the circle.
"Senior brother, he grabbed the Flying Flower Token!"
The disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect wanted to chase after them again, but unexpectedly, nearly a hundred young people who were unsuccessful in the election blocked them together.
"Your Heavenly Sword Sect can't bully too much, do you still have to kill them all!"
"Don't deceive people too much just because you are a decent person!"
Originally, Feijian asked for selection, as long as the candidate's swordsmanship could be recognized by the three Shouting Disciples, he could take down the Flying Flower Order and enter the pavilion, but Cangma could still not fall behind when he beat twelve of them, but they still didn't agree to Cangma's pass, which was really outrageous.
The person who practices martial arts speaks of a righteous word, and he roars when he sees injustice. Although the young people looked down on Cangma before, the two hands he just showed were already deeply impressed by everyone.
Everyone was in front of Cangma, and only in this way did the disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect refuse to stop.
Seeing that the turmoil was calm, Cangma Chong hugged his fists and said: "Thank you for your help, a certain family is grateful." ”
"The swordsmanship of the predecessors is exquisite, we admire it, there is no need to say thank you, I don't know the name of the seniors!"
"Haha. Cangma laughed, "Batianzhai, Cangma!" After speaking, he turned around and went down the mountain.
I only heard the discussion behind the scenes.
"Cangma, it turns out that he is Cangma!"
"I knew that he was Cangma, except for Cangma Martial Arts, there is no second person with such swordsmanship!"
"It's worthy of being a horse, and it really deserves its reputation when I see it today!"
......
