After entering the sword pool, a thin man came out of the face, with an average appearance, dark skin, and the blood vessels on his arms were like thin snakes climbing, especially his hands were very large, like two pu fans, which were covered with calluses.

For more than ten years, Jianchi has never been an outsider, and when he first saw Xiao Tai'a come in with three outsiders, the man was stunned at first, and then walked up to Xiao Tai'a, and said very respectfully: "Father, who are these people?"

Mrs. Xiao smiled, pointed at Yao Sanming and introduced: "Chengying, this is Uncle Yao Sanming, you used to shout that you wanted to get acquainted with the predecessors of the Sword Immortal, he is, one of these two is Uncle Yao's apprentice, and the other is Uncle Yao's niece." ”

This person is Xiao Chengying, the eldest son of Xiao Tai'a, after hearing Xiao Tai'a's introduction, Xiao Chengying was immediately overjoyed, and bowed and said: "It turned out to be Uncle Yao, who has heard the name for a long time, and the younger generation will see him." ”

"Hey, don't be polite, Brother Tai is really a blessing, these two sons are really better than the other, the old man was also born in iron back then, and when I saw the physique of Chengying's nephew, he was a genius in sword casting. ”

"Ahhh Chengying, Uncle Yao wants to choose a sword for this girl, you see if there is a suitable one, choose one for this girl. ”

Xiao Chengying looked at Xi Wan, the expression on his face was always as calm as water, and after a while, he said, "I don't know if the girl is good at using heavy swords or light swords?"

Xi Wan smiled: "Swords under five catties are acceptable." ”

"I see that the girl has a good temperament, and makes the light sword better, and I just recently made a sword, and the girl can go and see if she can take advantage of it. ”

Xi Wan nodded, and then followed Xiao Chengying into the inside of the sword pool, there are not many swords in the sword pool, only more than ten sword frames, dozens of swords are placed on them, and there are also some finished products with complete swords and scabbards, not much, at most thirty handles, these swords are particularly finely made, the hilt is carved with exquisite patterns, and the scabbard is mainly made of red sandalwood, and it is inlaid with fine brass brushing, showing a graceful style.

Xiao Chengying walked directly through these sword racks, and then bypassed the two copper furnaces and entered another sword room, this sword room only has three swords, which are placed in a three-legged tripod, Xiao Chengying walked to the one in the center, and his two fingers touched the hilt of the sword, only lightly, the sword suddenly "buzzed" and trembled, and there was a sword light faintly flashing.

For just this moment, Yao Sanming's eyes were hot, and he praised: "Good sword." ”

Xiao Chengying's two fingers bent, lightly clasped on the hilt of the sword, and then with a slight lift, the sword left the supporting wood and hung in Xiao Chengying's hand.

"This sword is built by me, weighing two catties and six taels, three fingers wide, light and thin as paper, I named it chasing cicadas, I don't know if the girl likes it. ”

Since Yao Sanming sighed "good sword", Xi Wan knew that this sword must not be an ordinary sword, otherwise it would not have entered the eyes of Yao's predecessors, but such a good sword was given to her, which made Xi Wan a little flattered.

She waved her hand again and again: "My time to learn swords is still short, and it is really a waste to take such a good sword, so I better go outside and choose a random one." ”

"I think this is the only sword here that suits a girl. ”

Xiao Chengying walked up to Xi Wan with the sword, and then handed the sword out directly, without feeling distressed, Xi Wan hesitated for a moment, and finally took it.

As soon as Xi Wan got it in her hand, she felt very comfortable, wielding the two styles at will, and she felt that she couldn't put it down, and her face was full of joy.

"Sure enough, this sword is suitable for the girl, so let's do it. ”

"But ......"

Xi Wan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Xiao Tai'a: "Take it, if Chengying can be cast into this one, it can be cast into the second and third one, and the last thing our Xiao family lacks is a sword." "Scales

"That'...... I'm better to be respectful, thank you Uncle Xiao, thank you Brother Chengying, hehe......"

"Thank you, Brother Tai, now I promised Miss Xi that the thing has been done, otherwise the old man doesn't know where to put this face, Brother Tai has helped me a lot, if the Xiao family has a useful place in the future, Brother Tai will speak. ”

"Brother Yao is too polite. ”

After some greetings, Yao Sanming suddenly said: "Brother Tai, when I was young and vigorous, I still had some small stumbles with the Xiao family, and I actually wanted to resolve this grievance today, but I didn't see Brother Zhan Lu, I don't know if he is still complaining about the old man!"

Mrs. Xiao snorted, but she couldn't hide the embarrassment on her face, Yao Sanming didn't mention it, he wanted to just bring it like this, and he didn't even plan to tell his eldest brother Xiao Zhan about Yao Sanming's coming, just because of an old thing.

At that time, the people who used swords were concentrated in the south of the Yangtze River, especially in the Yinzhou area of Hongzhou, Yao Sanming stayed in Hongzhou for the longest time, just because there were too many famous swordsmen here, and they all wanted to suppress Yao Sanming's limelight.

It's a pity that the last one was defeated in his hands, and Xiao Zhanlu, who had been reluctant to come out at that time, was the strongest person in the entire Hongzhou swordsmanship, and finally saw that Yao Sanming was going out of Hongzhou, Xiao Zhanlu finally didn't hold back, and drew his sword and had a contest with Yao Sanming.

There are rumors on the rivers and lakes that it is only said that Xiao Zhanlu only loses half a move, but if it is really a half move, Xiao Zhanlu will not hold a grudge against Yao Sanming for so many years, and he will not even provoke the ancestor Xiao Xuanyuan to find a place for Xiao Zhanlu, in short, it is not a big deal, it is just a personal grudge.

"I can't hide it, my eldest brother is not at home, and he went down the mountain with his father, and I don't know when he will be able to return. ”

"Oh...... Since this is the case, then the old man will leave a regret, so he will leave and make a special trip to visit another day. ”

"Brother Yao, you're leaving?"

Tian shamelessly asked for a sword, and if he didn't leave, he would really show his old face and leave. ”

Yao Sanming joked, then gave up his hand, Xiao Tai'a signaled to send the three out of the house, but was blocked by Yao Sanming, and finally the three of them left the house on their own.

As soon as she left, the smile on Mrs. Xiao's face disappeared, and Xiao Chengying next to her was still as calm as water.

"Dad, isn't the uncle meditating in the mansion?" Xiao Chengying asked.

"Hmph, you can't really tell Yao Sanming, with your uncle's temper, won't the two of them have to fight again, don't look at your uncle who has been cultivating all these years, but I vaguely feel that he is still not Yao Sanming's opponent, and when the time comes, won't our Xiao family lose face again?"

Xiao Chengying understood: "What Dad said is reasonable. ”

"Yao Sanming came this time, I'm afraid it was mainly for the color curtain the day before yesterday, and it was a cover to ask for a sword. ”

Xiao Chengying's tone was finally no longer calm: "Could it be that he knows something?"

"I shouldn't know, today I deliberately led him to Luding, and made a way of confusion to him that we don't know anything, I don't think he can figure it out anyway. ”

Xiao Tai'a's face was gloomy, and he continued: "But it's better to be careful, the plan of more than ten years, don't ruin this dynasty, wait for your brother Luding to become an adult, and let Yao Sanming know what the real kendo is." ”
