Chapter 8: Drawing the Sword
Wang Laogou glanced at him, and said angrily: "You kid, don't think that this knife is an ordinary weapon, it is rumored in the martial arts that there is a shocking top secret in the ancient knife, and those who can peek through this top secret are the leaders of the martial arts alliance!
"Top secret?" Li Changfeng asked with a frown.
Wang Laogou nodded and explained: "That's right! Throughout the ages, there have been so many capable people, and there are not a few people who can get this Beichen ancient knife, but in the end, there is no one who can really get a glimpse of the mysteries in it! Everyone in the world has passed it down that this ancient knife contains the supreme truth of heaven and earth, and all those who practice the martial arts, if they can see through the heavens, they will definitely become the head of all peoples, and they will be invincible in the world." ”
"Really, you're not lying to me, old fellow, are you?"
"Hehe, what the old man said to you is true, if you don't believe it, then it's up to you. However, until you can pull out this ancient knife with your own hands, the two of us will stay on the mountain, when you pull it out, and when we will go down the mountain. ”
Li Changfeng's eyes flashed with a fine light, his fists were clenched, and he said confidently: "Old guy, just look at it! It's just a big blade, I don't believe it yet, I can't pull it out!"
Wang Laogou looked at Li Changfeng deeply, and sneered: "I hope you can do the same as you say, hehe, you kid, you are still too young......"
After speaking, he ignored Li Changfeng, turned around, returned to the boulder, jumped up, and sat on the stone.
Only Li Changfeng was left standing still, his heart full of confusion.
Those eighteen years of hard study, in the final analysis, did not bring him any benefit. At the beginning of the imperial examination in Hanzhou City, he said goodbye in front of the palace gate, since then, he has made up his mind, this life does not ask about words, all the scholarly things on his body are sold, only in exchange for a broken blade, all the way north.
If it weren't for this old guy by his side, Li Changfeng would have died many times! Over the years, as a talented man in cold clothes, he Li Changfeng can be said to have gained nothing except for some rotten poetry and literary algae.
This Tianxi Dynasty has been inherited for more than 700 years, since the time when Gaozu waved troops in the Central Plains and set the foundation for all generations, it can be said that the wind and rain are peaceful in 600 years, and the people live and work in peace and contentment, and the strength ranks first among the nine major countries on land.
But who would have thought that in the past hundred years, the third Tianxi Emperor, there was no Ming Jun, and the faint emperor Li Mang was even worse, learning from the king of Shang, Qin II, working millions of people, building a wine pond and meat forest in the imperial capital, indulging in wine all day long, and not asking about court affairs.
If this were not the case, how could the originally powerful Tianxi Dynasty become the current situation? In the north, Li Muyuan's army could not bear to make a move, and in the south, there were many vassal kings who were ready to move.
It is precisely because of these that Li Changfeng is extremely disgusted with this dynasty, which is why he will try to say goodbye to the palace and leave the "disobedience" of a seven-word quatrain.
Li Changfeng stood in place, looking into the distance from the top of the mountain, the top of Kunlun is thousands of zhang high, and the top of the mountain is covered with clouds and mist, which is comparable to a fairyland. The seventy years of power from the Northern Stygian Cold Snake on his body had been firmly suppressed in his body, but it was not easy to maximize his strength like an arm.
Not to mention that Li Changfeng has not learned any martial arts at all in the past eighteen years, and the unfathomable cultivation of the Northern Darkness Cold Snake alone in the past seventy years is not something that his body can fully control now.
Li Changfeng sighed, turned around and looked back, glanced at the ancient knife inserted in the boulder not far away, and Shi Shiran walked over.
I saw him suddenly lift a mouthful of internal force, hold the handle of the knife tightly with his right hand, and let out a loud shout, trying to pull out the ancient knife with all his strength.
But who would have thought that he still can't do it today!
"Alas, it seems that if I want to pull out this broken knife, I still need to improve the degree of control over that power as soon as possible!" Li Changfeng sighed, no longer caring about the ancient knife in front of him, turned around and walked towards the deep forest in the back mountain.
At this moment, from behind another boulder not far away, a figure slowly walked out, the man was full of gray hair, with a cane under his left arm, although only one right leg was left, but his body stood extremely steady, making people look at it from a distance, like a remote ancient pine standing on the top of the mountain.
Who else could this old man be besides Wang Laogou?
I saw Wang Laogou silently staring at Li Changfeng's distant back, his eyes were full of essence, and he said to himself: "This kid is still too impatient, although his temperament looks weak, but his heart is extremely competitive. If he can't change this, he will suffer a lot in the future. I don't want to think about how terrible that dead snake's cultivation is in his life, if it weren't for this force being driven by him, how could he be able to suppress it without any waves? It's only been a day, and I want to fully exert that power, you kid, your heart is also anxious!"
I don't know whether the old fellow was happy or angry, but after he finished saying that, he rubbed the cane in his hand and went elsewhere.
......
The next morning, Li Changfeng got up early in the morning, and before dawn, he began to jump around, causing Wang Laogou, who was sleeping on the boulder, to be furious, and even took out his crutches and "hunted" this kid wow.
"You stinky boy! You got up early yesterday morning, so that the old man didn't even get a good night's sleep. You kid is like this this morning, do you believe that the old man sent you to see grandma with a cane today?"
The more Wang Laogou talked, the more angry he became, two days passed, and the injuries he had suffered in the battle with the Northern Stygian Cold Snake had recovered a lot at this time, although the battle had injured his vitality and had not fully recovered, but the ordinary actions had long been without any obstacles.
At this time, it was only four watches, and before dawn, Li Changfeng, this kid, kept dangling in front of the old guy, which made him suddenly angry, and he couldn't wait to slap this kid to death!
"You kid stop for the old man! don't you hear me!" shouted Wang Laogou as he ran.
Li Changfeng had been running wildly in the forest, and at this time he heard the voice of the old guy behind him, and immediately turned his head and said, "Old guy, if you have the ability, you can catch up with me!"
You said that you were making a fuss all day long, and the old man was woken up by you several times at night, and it was only four o'clock, and the sky was not bright, you stinky boy was dangling again, and making such a loud noise, what do you want to do!"
"Didn't you say before, let me grasp the internal force in my body as soon as possible? I practice without sleep or food, why are you old man not happy?"
Wang Lao Gou was angry and didn't say anything, but he shouted, and the crutches in his hand suddenly shot out, flying quickly towards Li Changfeng's figure in front of him.
Li Changfeng was running anxiously, but he felt the whistling crutches behind him, but when he saw him, he suddenly stopped his figure, looked back and turned around, his arms were blocked in front of his chest, and he met the old guy's crutches head-on!
And the old dog Wang here, when he came out of the crutches, his heart was full of regret. Imagine that this kid has not learned any martial arts before, and his seventy years of skill is only a coincidence two days ago. I was careless, if the crutch hurt this kid, it would be too late to regret it!
But Li Changfeng surprised the old guy.
I saw Li Changfeng with his arms in front of him, and somehow, the extremely fast crutches were blocked by this kid! Not only that, but the speed of the crutches, which was originally like thunder, actually stopped abruptly in an instant, staying in the air, not moving at all!
At this time, even Li Changfeng himself was stunned!
"This ......" Li Changfeng's eyes widened, and he didn't know what to do.
Wang Laogou also stood still, and only came back to his senses after half a ring, although his blow just now seemed ordinary, but at that time he was already thunderous and furious, although it was just a crutch, but the power mixed in it was absolutely immeasurable!
But who would have thought that this was stopped by Li Changfeng casually......
The original anger on Wang Laogou's body also disappeared, and he slowly walked towards Li Changfeng, picked up the crutches on the ground, and took a deep look at this kid.
Li Changfeng stood in place at a loss, but who would have thought that at this moment, the old dog Wang actually held a cane and slapped Li Changfeng's buttocks!
The kid jumped up with a bang, stared at Wang Laogou with a look of resentment, and snorted, "What the hell do you old guy want to do!"
"What are you doing? Don't think that if you kid has an internal strength, you can do anything wrong here! The old man has been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes all his life, have you ever seen me afraid of anyone? You kid has been disturbing the old man's dream for two days in a row, and the old man will definitely beat you until you beg for mercy today!"
Li Changfeng is not a fool, he heard the old guy say this, and this kid suddenly used his strength to eat milk and rushed towards the forest.
"You old thing will sneak attack, have the ability to catch up with me? If you can catch up with me, I, Li Changfeng, will deal with you!"
"Ahh
After Wang Laogou finished speaking, he used the internal force of his body, regardless of the injuries on his body, and began to chase Li Changfeng with the crutch.
So, an old man and a young man were on the top of the top of Kunlun, chasing and shouting like chickens and dogs. Chased until the three poles of the sun, and at noon, Wang Laogou stopped.
At this time, Wang Laogou was already tired and panting, his chest rose and fell violently, and he gasped and said, "You...... You kid, why are you so good at running?"
Li Changfeng was obviously also very tired, and stopped standing in place, panting constantly.
"Old fellow...... Aren't you very powerful! What's the matter? Even I can't catch up now? Or do you say that you fought with the predecessors of the Northern Stygian Cold Snake, and you were seriously injured, and from now on you fell off the altar, and you no longer have the same spirit as before?"
Wang Laogou glared at Li Changfeng fiercely, and couldn't help but scold: "You stinky boy! The old man came here from the dungeon of Beihan Prefecture thousands of miles away, for what? Isn't it to help you get the Beichen Ancient Knife? Fighting to the death with the old guy of the Beiyin Cold Snake, the old man is still seriously injured and has not recovered, you kid really looks like a white-eyed wolf! It's still the kind that you can't raise!"
Li Changfeng grinned and said with a smile: "Alas, I'm not all joking around with you, look at you, how adult-like you are, and you are still like a child, and you don't lose your face." ”
"Hmph, how far do you kid give the old man, and if the old man catches him, he will definitely pick you off!" Wang Laogou pretended to be angry and shouted at Li Changfeng.
After speaking, he used the cane in his hand, Shi Shiran left the back mountain and disappeared from Li Changfeng's sight.
After the old guy left, Li Changfeng calmed down, he didn't know the purpose of the old guy bringing him here before, he originally thought that this old man was just to learn from the old man, who would have thought that he was actually for himself?
During this period of time, Li Changfeng also gradually understood the importance of the Beichen Ancient Knife, the Northern Dark Cold Snake was able to guard the top of Kunlun for more than 30 years, during which no less than 100 people came to knock on the mountain to provoke, and he was beaten Kunlun alone, these are all because of the ancient knife, its importance, can be imagined!
In the final analysis, Wang Laogou's kindness to Li Changfeng is comparable to mountains and seas, if it weren't for this old guy, this kid might have died many times. Li Changfeng is not a person who talks a lot, but the old guy is good to him, he keeps it in mind, if Wang Laogou needs it in the future, he Li Changfeng will definitely help him with all his might, and will never retreat!
"I wonder if I'll be able to pull out that broken knife today?"
Li Changfeng retracted his thoughts, turned around and left the back mountain, and slowly walked to the front of the ancient knife. I saw him stretch out his right hand, grasp the handle of the knife, force a breath of true qi, and draw the knife outward with all his might.
Finally, after this kid blushed, the Beichen Ancient Knife shook a little, although it only moved a little, but compared to the previous two days, it was already a good progress!
"Hehe, it's just a broken knife, how can it stump me Li Changfeng?" Seeing that the ancient knife was slightly loosened, Li Changfeng suddenly became energetic, and used all his strength without reservation, and made up his mind that he would pull out this broken knife today!
But no matter how hard this kid tried, the ancient knife was slightly loosened, and it was reinserted into the boulder, as stable as a rock.
Li Changfeng's strength suddenly came up, this mere broken knife for I don't know how many years old, even dared to embarrass him? Could it be that the seventy years of skill of the Northern Stygian Cold Snake on his body was fake?
I saw that this kid puffed up his chest, slowly channeled the flow of true qi in the dantian, slowly condensed his palms, and shouted, and was about to pull out the ancient knife on the boulder!
Ultimately...... The ancient knife seemed to have taken root, and Li Changfeng, this kid, tried his best, but he still didn't move.
Li Changfeng had to give up, at this time, he was already sweating profusely, due to excessive exertion, his two arms were very sore, his chest rose and fell violently, and he was constantly panting.
"Okay! You are amazing! I can't pull it out today, I don't believe it yet, tomorrow, the day after tomorrow...... I, Li Changfeng, can't pull you out!"
After Li Changfeng finished speaking, he brushed his sleeves goodbye, turned around and walked towards the back mountain of Kunlun.
Only the dark Beichen Ancient Knife was left in place, flickering with a faint black light, like a warrior who had won a battle.
......
The years go by, the ups and downs of the four seas, the world is alive, all like the chess pieces in the puzzle, the so-called bull holder, to put it bluntly, is the strong man in the rivers and lakes. The martial arts are so big, how many people are hiding in the hidden dragon and crouching tigers, or hiding in the remote mountain villages, or hiding in the alleys of the market. These people are scattered all over the world, and some of them have also won the world and made outstanding achievements. Many are tired of competing for hegemony in the rivers and lakes, so they wash their hands and return to the four corners of the world......
Thirty years ago, after that battle, the four great figures in the world, the North Hell, the South Ridge Wild Dog, the East Earth Eagle, and the West Mountain Wild Wolf, all withdrew from the rivers and lakes. What kind of person can make these four people feel afraid? Those people in the rivers and lakes who do not know why do not dare to speculate on their own, for fear of setting themselves on fire. And those who knew it were strong, but they also tacitly shut their mouths and didn't mention it at all.
Since the conversation between Wang Laogou and the Northern Immortal Cold Snake a few days ago, Li Changfeng has always been concerned about the origin of the battle thirty years ago and the origin of the Beichen ancient knife on the top of Kunlun.
Although Wang Laogou explained to him, and he could be regarded as a more general statement about the origin of the Beichen Ancient Knife, Li Changfeng felt that this was actually not the truth, and the old guy was lying to himself......
And since he was rescued by Wang Laogou in Beihanzhou City, Li Changfeng has always been grateful, and from the bottom of his heart, he can't feel any malice towards Wang Laogou to himself, so since the old guy doesn't say it, it must have his reason, and he Li Changfeng doesn't want to ask more.
But this kid is just an urgent one, and what he cares about the most is the battle in Wang Laogou's mouth thirty years ago.
At noon on this day, Li Changfeng walked out of the forest in the back mountain and came to Wang Laogou, who was sitting on a boulder.
"You kid don't practice well, what are you doing here with the old man?" said Wang Laogou with his eyes closed and his head not raised.
Li Changfeng took a deep breath and pouted and asked, "Old fellow, I've been stuck in my throat for the past few days, what was the secret of that battle thirty years ago?"
Hearing Li Changfeng ask like this, Wang Laogou's eyes opened in an instant, and several fine lights shot out of his eyes. I saw him turn his head and stare at Li Changfeng, staring at this kid uncomfortable.
"Boy, don't ask about this matter now, and don't ask about it in the future! Your strength is still too weak now, if you know too much, it will not be of any benefit to you, if the time comes, the old man will tell you personally, and the old man will tell you in detail about the reason for that matter, you know?"
Li Changfeng felt that the old guy was not joking, so he nodded solemnly: "I understand! However, I still have one more thing to ask you." ”
"Except for that matter, the rest of the old men can tell you, if you want to know anything, you kid will ask directly!"
"Why did you save me when I was in the dungeon of Beihanzhou?"
Hearing Li Changfeng say this, Wang Laogou was obviously taken aback, but he still pretended to be calm and said: "Hehe, the old man was destined for you, so he helped you save your life......
"Old guy, are you really an idiot for me Li Changfeng?"
