Chapter 3 The Sword of Western Chu
The bluebird flapped its wings and swept away the dark clouds in the night sky, its turquoise eyes locked on the light of the flames beating in the mountains below, and it sang loudly and swooped down.
The sound of burning wood crackled non-stop, but it couldn't hide the whistling.
Su Hanshan, who was sitting cross-legged around the bonfire and studying the Buddhist beads, looked up and saw the blue bird landing not far away.
Seeing this, Gu Changting got up with the Qiutang knife on his waist in his hand, took down the message, and walked over.
"Childe. ”
Su Hanshan took the letterhead.
Yoo Hyun Chaek wrote: "Hoan Kiem Lake is alive. ”
Su Hanshan frowned slightly, a little incomprehensible.
It's not that this peerless strategist is concise and his explanation is not detailed enough, but he has never heard of Huanjian Lake after entering the rivers and lakes for the second time.
Su Hanshan handed the letterhead to Chen Tianguan, the secretary of Dali Temple on the opposite side of the bonfire, and asked, "Lord Chen, have you heard of Huanjian Lake?"
Holding a handkerchief and taking the letterhead, the good-looking fat man took a cursory glance and threw the letterhead into the fire. Picked up the stone and moved it towards Su Hanshan's side, leaned over, and said with a smile on his face: "The Trumen guest of the descendant of Western Chu who was ordered to be released from the dark prison, does the son have an impression?"
Qin Wuyang, who had an inexplicable affection for the painting box given by the old priest of Qin Tianjian Jiu Nanhuaizi, snorted and continued: "Brother Su has never forgotten it, of course he remembers. Where is like you, eat so much and sweat. ”
Chen Tianguan wiped his sweat in embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Miss Qin has taught her a very good lesson!
Huang Shang'er gestured: "Two portions of braised pork." ”
Risking death to learn the wonderful method of dealing with the little ancestor from Su Hanshan, Chen Tianguan dared to say no, and nodded hurriedly: "How can two copies, Miss Qin has orders along the way, and the lower officials must do their best." ”
Huang Xiang'er hid a smile in the corner of her eyes: "Good attitude! ”
Su Hanshan stroked Wuyang's three thousand green silks, looked at Wuyang and smiled, and said back to the legend: "According to Lord Chen's meaning, this also has something to do with the old Western Chu?"
Where does Wuyang still have a temper, he only feels extremely warm, and his head rubs Su Hanshan's palm mischievously.
Chen Tianguan was secretly impressed in his eyes, and he didn't know what method His Highness had used, so that this proud woman of the heavens, who had reached the sixfold Taixuan realm of martial arts at a young age, was desperate, and said: "The old Western Chu portal is called the eight-thousand-foot sword wall, and the wide waterhole around the sword wall is the Huanjian Lake. ”
Su Hanshan was deeply surprised.
Gu Changting, who only listened to the Qiutang knife and never left his body, said again: "Even if the minister is in the army, he has heard of the name of Huanjian Lake. Before the Spring and Autumn Five Kingdoms, the old Western Chu was famous for its swordsmanship, not only the sword emperor of the Western Chu who died was outstanding, but his family traced back to its roots, it can be said that each generation of the sword emperor has a heavenly posture overlooking the world. In hundreds of years, there have been countless swordsmen in the rivers and lakes who have been defeated under the sword of Western Chu. Those people are either prestigious kendo masters for a long time, or some Jianghu sects and families have carefully cultivated dazzling Tianjiao with noble backgrounds, but they can't escape the end of defeat, without exception. ”
"And those famous swords, in the end, there is no doubt that they were left on the eight-thousand-foot sword wall, thousands. Later, the Western Chu died in the country, and thousands of famous swords on the sword wall sank into the waterhole with the Sword Emperor of the Western Chu, and the name of Huanjian Lake came from this. ”
Su Hanshan listened quietly, and couldn't help but admire the Xichu lineage in his heart.
can dominate the way of the sword for hundreds of years, even if Xichu dies, who dares to say that the line is not a hero?
He suddenly remembered a question: "Huang Mei's predecessor, who was respected as the ten-mile sword god by the rivers and lakes, had a shocking battle with the Western Chu Sword Emperor, and as a result, the sword broke and fell, could it be that the sword of Huang Mei's predecessor also sank into Huanjian Lake?"
Gu Changting was slightly stunned, and then shook his head.
Su Hanshan looked at Chen Tianguan again.
Dali Siqing remembered the rumors he heard when he was a child, and sighed and said, "No one knows. ”
Su Hanshan asked, "How can no one know?"
Chen Tianguan said: "Regarding that battle, there are many versions circulating in the Jiazi Year of the rivers and lakes, but few people have really seen it with their own eyes. Some people say that the broken sword of the old sword god was left on the 8,000-foot sword wall, and some people say that the broken sword entered the gate of heaven and is no longer a sword in the world. Which statement is correct, I am afraid that only those who witnessed the shocking war in the first place can say clearly. ”
Su Hanshan nodded.
Huang Shang'er, who listened to it with relish, couldn't help but praise: "It turns out that the old man is so powerful!"
Chen Tianguan said: "No, three hundred years of rivers and lakes, how much sword cultivation? However, the one who deserves the title of Sword God is not counting the latecomer East China Sea Sword God, and he is the only one!"
Su Hanshan asked again: "Since Huanjian Lake already exists, why do you say that Huanjian Lake is in the world?"
Chen Tianguan, the secretary of Dali Temple, was born in the rivers and lakes, and most of his subordinates were reckless in the rivers and lakes to serve the imperial court, so even if they were in the temple, they had heard of the recent events in the rivers and lakes.
Chen Tianguan said: "After the death of Western Chu, in the year of Jiazi in the rivers and lakes, in fact, many sword cultivators went to the eight-thousand-foot sword wall one after another, trying to find those famous swords that sank to the bottom of the lake. However, the strange thing is that no matter how those people search, even if they dive to the bottom of the lake, they can't feel a trace of sword intent, let alone find a famous sword. The swords seemed to have souls, deliberately avoiding the sword seekers. ”
"I think that when the message says that Hoan Kiem Lake is alive, it should mean that someone is in the process of searching for swords, feeling the sword intent that has disappeared, or finding those famous swords. ”
Su Hanshan, the ninth prince of Su Tang, who had passed by the rivers and lakes and had a lot of curiosity about the rivers and lakes, couldn't help but sigh and said: "If you have a chance, you really want to see the eight-thousand-foot sword wall." ”
Su Hanshan thought to himself, and he didn't know what happened to the descendants of the Chu family who led the horse and hung the sword. Maybe Huanjian Lake is alive, and it is impossible to say that it has something to do with Trumanke.
The firelight reflected his cheeks, Chen Tianguan wiped his sweat and said: "I happened to go to the Xianyang Ancient Road, and when I finished my business, His Highness was interested, and the minister should accompany His Highness to climb the 8,000-foot sword wall to experience the traces left by history." ”
As soon as the words fell, Su Hanshan heard a sneer full of contempt.
Looking through the bonfire, I saw the fire surrounded by a few people who worshiped the moon, and the smile on Shi Jiyu's face gradually converged.
Su Hanshan held the Buddha beads and explained, got up and walked.
Season rain, shepherd boy, Lou Baiyue and Ren Pingsheng.
These four people were all killers who wanted to take their lives, and later fell into the hands of Chen Tianguan and spent a period of time in prison, thinking that they had more or less resentment in their hearts.
If it is said that Su Hanshan did not have the slightest fear of these people on this trip, it is absolutely impossible. After all, Bai Xiaosheng's book of the Hundred Soldiers, these four people are all famous grandmasters on the list.
Next, I have to go all the way, and in Su Hanshan's heart, it is inevitable that it will be a pimple.
So he thought, it would be better to take the opportunity to get acquainted with these people. What's more, in the affairs of the rivers and lakes, it is difficult to distinguish who is friend or foe from whom. No matter how bad it is, you can also explore the bottom and have a little understanding, so as to take precautions.
Su Hanshan walked behind the few people who worshiped the moon in the building, but sat down without any emotion.
Gu Changting and Chen Tianguan followed.
This Dali Siqing, who was born in the rivers and lakes, obviously knew very well that the people in the rivers and lakes were not happy with alcohol, so he waved his hand.
The subordinate took some wine and threw a few bags around the campfire.
Su Hanshan unscrewed a bag of spirits, handed it to Shi Jieyu, the young master of the Niubei Mountain Sword Gate, and said, "There is still a month to go, Brother Shi has something to say, why hide it in your heart?"
