Chapter 217: Broken Sword and Sinking Stone
Second, Li Chenfeng, who came as promised, came to the bamboo forest where the Qiuhe River in Wudang Valley was located.
Now in the summer season, the green bamboo grows a lot greener, maybe it may be an illusion, Li Chenfeng always feels that the bamboo in Wudang Mountain is better than all the bamboos he has seen in the past.
Gu Qiuhe sat on the stone benches with obvious sword marks under the bamboo forest, did not close his eyes and recuperate, nor did he sit cross-legged, but just sat leisurely on the stone benches, drinking tea calmly.
"Gu Zhenren. Li Chenfeng came to the appointment alone and said to Gu Qiuhe.
"Li Xiaoyou is here, come and sit down. Gu Qiuhe raised his hand to invite and poured Li Chenfeng a cup of tea by the way.
Li Chenfeng was not polite, sat on the stone bench, and picked up the cup of light green tea with the same bright color.
The tea is fragrant and wanton, Li Chenfeng couldn't help but take a sip, although the tea temperature is steaming, but the temperature is just right, it is not hot or cold, this tea making kung fu is simply appropriate.
"What kind of tea can you taste?" Gu Qiu said.
Li Chenfeng, who was smacking his lips with a hard aftertaste, couldn't say why, so he had to take another sip, and the tea was repeatedly figured out in his mouth, but in the end he was still alone, so he had to shake his head knowingly.
Gu Qiuhe was not disappointed, but asked, "Xiaoyou has eaten wild dates." ”
Li Chenfeng nodded, remembering that he likes to grow on slopes or stone walls, and the branches are full of long thorns.
"Could it be that this tea is a jujube leaf?" Li Chenfeng wondered.
"Yes and no. "Guqiu River Channel.
Li Chenfeng looked puzzled after hearing this, and looked hard into the teapot.
"This tea is indeed picked in the leaves of wild jujubes, but it is not an ordinary jujube leaves, the wild jujubes of Wudang Mountain like to grow on the cliffs, and the wild jujube can be used as tea, only in the spring equinox, the young leaves that have just sprouted, the requirements are extremely strict. ”
"The wild dates that grow on the stone wall are not only more flavorful than the wild dates that grow on the sloping ground, but also the tea leaves fried with young shoots are more fragrant. ”
Li Chenfeng, who suddenly realized, nodded, but he didn't expect that there would be so much to say about a simple wild jujube tea.
"I'm telling you so much, naturally I'm not wasting time talking to you here, whether it's the wild dates that grow on the cliff wall, or the buds of fried tea, I want to tell you, the more ordinary things are, the harder they are to get, and the more they can't be underestimated. ”
Li Chenfeng didn't suddenly realize, he just nodded half-understanding and half-confused, as if he didn't know whether he understood the truth or not.
"Okay, I'm not going to be verbose, I naturally asked you to come today to tell you about my challenge in this level. ”
As soon as he heard the topic, Li Chenfeng suddenly became interested, straightened up and waited for the next with anticipation in his eyes.
"Yesterday I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that there was only one thing that could be considered a problem, especially for a swordsman. ”
"What?" asked Li Chenfeng.
"Sharp sword!"
After listening to Gu Qiuhe's words, Li Chenfeng was a little confused, so he looked at this Wudang second real person, Tian Yuanzi, with an inquiring look.
Gu Qiuhe was not in a hurry, and pointed to the stone bench on the side unhurriedly.
"This stone is my test of this level. ”
"Stone?" Li Chenfeng looked puzzled.
"That's right, you have to split this stone with a sword without using your sword qi. Gu Qiuhe said with a smile.
After Li Chenfeng listened, the color on his face suddenly became exciting, and he looked at the stone bench he was pointing at incredibly, and even reached out to touch it.
"Real person, you're kidding, how can such a hard stone be split. ”
Gu Qiuhe had long expected such a scene, took out an unsheathed long sword from under the stone table, and placed it on the stone table.
"Of course you won't be allowed to chop with your hands or branches. Naturally, you will be given a long sword. ”
Looking at the broken long sword on the stone table, the blade was full of broken gaps, obviously not the first time to split stones, not the first time.
"Could it be that this is a sword sharpened into the mud, or is there something different in the material of the longsword? ”
Gu Qiuhe denied a series of speculations, shook his head and said: "What you said is not true, the only advantage of this sword is that the sword body is extremely thick, and no matter how many times you split the stone, it will not break." ”
Li Chenfeng, who wanted to cry without tears, looked at the stone bench beside him and said: "When the iron sword does not act on the internal force of the sword qi, how can you cut the stone, Gu Zhenren, are you playing with me." ”
Gu Qiuhe, who was analyzed like this, was not angry, but laughed happily, looking at the young man with a sad face for the first time, his heart was very happy.
Then he picked up the broken long sword on the table, and under Li Chenfeng's gaze, the broken sword slowly fell, and the blade of the sword was right in the center of the stone bench, and there was no sound of the collision between the long sword and the stone. It's as if they haven't touched each other.
The next scene opened Li Chenfeng's eyes, the stone benches under the remnant blade slowly disintegrated, each fell to the side, and the cut from the inside out was smooth, I really couldn't imagine that this was the appearance of a broken sword.
Li Chenfeng stretched out his hand and touched a few handfuls of the smooth stone, confirming that the stone was not a fake, but a genuine hard thing.
"Li Xiaoyou, you pick another piece of the stone bench and bring it back, by the way, now you not only have to split the stone, but also compensate me for the stone bench. ”
After Gu Qiuhe finished speaking, he threw the thick long sword in his hand to the stunned young man, took the teapot and left proudly.
Li Chenfeng looked at the extremely heavy long sword in his hand, and then at the split stone, and his face was dyed with a sad look again.
"It's so heavy, how can I move it!!"
......
On the edge of the pond in the back mountain of Wudang, under the order of the little uncle, the extremely heavy stone bench has been moved here by several low-ranking Taoist priests.
"Brother Li, what are you moving this stone bench for?" Wang Ye said curiously.
Not only Wang Ye was curious, but even the Taoist priests who contributed were equally curious, they knew that this stone bench was the second uncle's thing, and if they blamed it, they would inevitably be trained.
"You think I want to, it's not your second senior brother's idea. Li Chenfeng put down the remnant sword that was not light.
"Could it be that this is a test given to you by the second senior brother?" Wang Ye suddenly realized.
Li Chenfeng nodded yes.
"Wouldn't it be cheating for us to move back for you? Wang Ye felt as if he had made a mistake.
"It's nice to move back so easily, look at this sword. ”
Wang Ye nodded, and the other Taoist priests also looked at the long sword with a broken blade in their hands.
"Your second senior brother asked me to use this sword to split this stone. Li Chenfeng gestured.
"I heard it right, or maybe you heard it right, did the second senior brother really say that?" Wang Ye said incredulously.
Li Chenfeng nodded, obviously not going wrong.
"The second senior brother naturally doesn't talk anymore, but how can it be for you, not to mention that this sword is broken and broken, even if it is a good sword that is intact, it may not be able to split it. Wang Ye analyzed.
Li Chenfeng, who knew this reason, what else could he do but complete this impossible challenge?
After several Taoist priests said goodbye to Uncle Xiao, Wang Ye was left standing in front of the stone and studying it carefully, but no matter how many times he circled around the stone, he still couldn't think of any way.
"Why are you moving a stone back?" Qin Qi jumped happily with his little hands behind his back, leaning on Li Chen's wind road.
"Miss Qin, you came just in time, help Brother Li analyze how this stone can be split. Wang Ye said.
"What are you doing splitting stones?" Qin Qi wondered.
"That's what I'm going to do next. Li Chenfeng smiled bitterly.
As soon as Qin Qi heard that it was Li Chenfeng's business, he immediately became interested, and walked around the stone a few times like Wang Ye before, and the bell under his feet kept ringing.
"It shouldn't be difficult. Qin Qi stopped and spoke.
"Isn't it difficult?" This time it was Li Chenfeng's turn to be dumbfounded.
Seeing the puzzled look, Qin Qi did not refute, took out the Sun and Moon Dagger from his sleeve, pinched his fingers at the end of the quaint and straight dagger, hung it on the high place of the stone bench, and then released his fingers.
The dagger fell straight down, and it was supposed to catapult out when the dagger touched the stone, but the dagger with the simple pattern went directly through the stone and inserted it into the stone bench, leaving only the handle outside.
The incredible Li Chenfeng, looking at the stone like tofu, the simple dagger was easily embedded in it, which was really eye-opening.
"I'm right, it's not that hard. Qin Qi didn't take back the dagger, and said triumphantly.
"Miss Qin, your two daggers are not ordinary things. Wang Ye said.
"Well, you still have a vision, I heard Uncle Li say that this pair of sun and moon daggers was not a dagger before, it was a dagger specially created by a swordsman from Sword King City after his death. ”
