Chapter 10: The Sword at the Head of the City
Gu Changting, who was hanging an Qiutang knife on his waist, waved his hand, and the convoy was no longer moving.
Li Tianxia, who saw the shepherd boy's kind face from a distance, sighed softly, so Su Hanshan, who was attracted by the sound of the shepherd flute in the carriage, couldn't help but lift the curtain and look.
When he lifted the curtains, the crowd at the gate turned at the same time, and then retreated in great order to both sides of the street, and soon a wide and wide avenue to the gate was vacated.
Su Hanshan looked at it and saw a bull rider at the city gate.
He had seen this person, but he didn't know what the other party's intention was to block under the city gate at this moment.
On horseback, the crown prince Li Tianxia squinted his eyes with his sword: "It seems that he is coming for you again." ”
Su Hanshan said: "But I don't know him. ”
Li Tianxia said: "You don't know the fake monks in the Zenkong Temple or the music girl in the Yunlai Inn. Sometimes, you don't need to know someone, they just need to know you. ”
Su Hanshan didn't want to believe it: "Could it be that he is also a killer? Is there such a blatant killer in the rivers and lakes?"
Li Tianxia is happy to popularize the knowledge of the rivers and lakes to this newcomer to the Nine Emperors of Su Tang, because this will reflect his erudition: "When a killer has enough confidence to kill his target, what is it to be blatant?"
Su Hanshan said: "There are thousands of pairs of eyes here, if he really kills me, he will not be afraid of my father's wrath in the future?"
Li Tianxia wanted to laugh: "Although it is said that in the Spring and Autumn Period of Jiazi, the five kingdoms divided the world equally, but in this vast rivers and lakes regardless of the country, there are far more places that the imperial court can't reach than you think!"
"For example?"
"For example, the immortals of the Martial Dao Sevenfold Transformation Mortal Realm, how can the imperial court take it?"
Su Hanshan no longer argued.
It's not that he wants to argue about this, but he really can't figure out why so many people want their lives. He can't help but wonder, is he annoying?
But in the fifteen years of Taohuashan Temple, he has really worked hard to survive until now because he was born with a loss of primordial spirit! Therefore, whoever wants to take his life, he will not be resigned to fate.
Su Hanshan bowed his head and was silent for the third breath, and the young man in Mai who was following closely behind the convoy with a horse and a sword walked up. Passing by the carriage, the unspeakable Trumen guest showed a somewhat unnatural smile, which was regarded as greeting the new lord, His Royal Highness the Nine Emperor Princes, and then straightened his back and walked towards the city gate.
"Who is this man?"
"I remember, I saw him in Sanhualou. ”
"Can you enter the Hundred Soldiers?"
"I don't know. ”
"Look at his sword, total...... Eleven?"
"What a strange person! Holding a horse and hanging a sword, I thought it was an ordinary sword seller. ”
"This person's steps are steady, and there is just the right gap between each step, like a heartbeat, it is very rhythmic, and he wants to cultivate well!"
"Looking at his outfit, I suddenly thought of a possibility. ”
"Could it be that it is, Xichu Swordsman?"
"Xichu has long perished, where is the swordsman?"
"Haven't you heard of a saying in the rivers and lakes that the sword is not Chu, and the Confucianism is not the river?"
"How?"
"Just as the Confucian scholars in the world dare not cross the Jiangdong, there is no swordsman in the rivers and lakes who dares to cross the 8,000-foot sword wall into Western Chu!"
"Why is that?"
"Because if the sky does not give birth to the Chu family, the sword path will last forever. As long as there is still a Western Chu swordsman in the rivers and lakes, all the swords in the world will enter the next Pin'er!"
“......”
The young master riding a bull and carrying a sword under the city opened his eyes, and many discussions around him were more or less heard by him. In fact, the first time he met a young man in Mai who was holding a horse and a sword under the restaurant, he had a guess.
Western Chu Swordsman!
What a long name this is! In the Spring and Autumn Jiazi years, the rivers and lakes were rarely heard of. Even everyone believes that the Western Chu Sword became extinct with the fall of the Sword Emperor.
For the sword cultivators in the world, this is a blessing, but also a great regret and sorrow!
Fortunately, there is finally no unique way to stop the kendo. It's a pity that in the sword path where a hundred flowers are blooming today, there is no shadow of the Xichu sword.
The young master riding the bull poured a bottle of wine, and it could be seen that there was a rare excitement hidden in his drunken eyes.
He looked at the young man in Mai who was only ten steps away from him and asked, "Chu Jiake?"
He didn't want to speculate in a vacuum.
He wanted to confirm it for himself.
Because before cutting off the head of the prince returning to the north in the carriage with his sword, he didn't want Xinghua Village in his hand to be stained with unclean blood. However, the Western Chu swordsmen are excepted.
Because for a swordsman, if the sword in his hand can be stained with the blood of the Chu family, it is a supreme honor!
The young man in Mai, who was holding the horse and hanging the sword, said calmly: "Trumenke." ”
The other party asked him if he was from the Chu family, and he said his name very directly.
This is the best answer.
The young master on the bull rode smiled: "So you want to go out of the city?"
Truman shook his head: "It's because you blocked the city." ”
The young master of the bull riding glanced at the convoy pretending to be a business traveler, and thought to himself that you were actually the little prince's guard! Emperor Jingyou was able to invite the Western Chu Sword out of the rivers and lakes, it was really well-intentioned!
However, he wants to kill people in the rain, and no one has been able to stop him so far!
The young master of the bull riding said: "This sword is called Xinghua Village. ”
Truman remained calm: "I know. ”
The shepherd boy pointed to the Xinghua Village in Xinghua Village, which was mentioned in Bai Xiaosheng's Hundred Soldiers, and it seemed that it was before the dance light Luo of Huang Shang'er in the carriage.
The young master of bull riding was not surprised, because before the advent of the Hundred Soldiers, the name of Xinghua Village had already become famous, even louder than his own name.
This distressed him.
In order to change the perception of the Jianghu people, he developed a habit. Before you kill someone, give your name. In this way, the world will remember more than just Xinghua Village.
So the young master of bull riding said: "My name, season rain." ”
Who knew that this sentence blurted out, but Trumenke suddenly raised his head, looked away from the young master riding the bull, and fell on the flute shepherd boy at the head of the city: "Your name doesn't matter. ”
The young master of bull riding seemed to smile: "Oh?"
Trumenke said, "Because Xinghua Village is not your sword. ”
The young master of the bull riding said with a smile: "Xinghua Village is in the hands of this young master, could it be your sword?"
Trumanke said: "Naturally, it's not my sword either. ”
The young master of the bull rider asked, "Whose sword is that?"
Trumanke looked at the flute boy sitting at the head of the city.
So everyone who heard this conversation began to look up at the little shepherd boy at the head of the city at sunset.
......
In the carriage, Su Hanshan glanced at Li Tianxia in surprise.
Even Gu Changting, who thought he was well-informed, was quite surprised.
Xinghuacun is a very famous sword, and this sword has always been in the hands of the young master of the bull riding season, so the world should think that it is the sword of the season.
As everyone knows, there is no doubt that the rain is the young master, but this Xinghua Village is not his sword, but the sword of the little shepherd boy in the city.
There is a poem that explains very clearly, the shepherd boy refers to Xinghua Village. The person who killed the people was never the young master who rode the bull, but the little shepherd boy who pointed to Xinghua Village!
"How did he see it?" Su Hanshan was surprised, and secretly admired Chu Menke's eyesight.
"Maybe it's because of the rain season?" Li Tianxia guessed.
"Is there a causal relationship between the two?" Su Hanshan was puzzled.
"There are always some people who are addicted to alcohol and are not suitable for killing. Li Tianxia forcibly defended.
"Why?" Huang Shang'er couldn't help but ask with her dark eyes.
"Because, hands are shaking!"
......
Su Hanshan asked again: "How powerful is the Xichu Sword?"
Huang Shang'er preemptively said: "If the sky does not give birth to the Chu family, the way of the sword will last forever." ”
Su Hanshan asked, "What do you mean?"
Li Tianxia explained: "The existence of the Western Chu Sword is like the sun above the nine heavens, covering up the starry light that has been shining in the sword path for a hundred years. Therefore, the people of the rivers and lakes often say that if the sky does not give birth to the Chu family, now the glory of the sword will definitely not be more than a corner of Xishu, it must be a scene of a hundred flowers contending for eternity. ”
Huang Shang'er didn't know when she also became curious and asked, "In the past hundred years, there has really been no swordsman who has crossed the 8,000-foot sword wall into Western Chu?"
Li Tianxia said proudly: "How could it not be! As far as I know, there is one, and he is still from our Southern Dynasty. ”
Su Hanshan asked, "Which senior is it?"
Li Tianxia said: "It is said that it is an old man of Huangmei who lives in the grass pond and knocks on the chess pieces and drops the lanterns. ”
"What happened to that senior?"
"Later...... When Xi Chu returned, the sword was gone, and he also fell into the realm!"
"It's really miserable. ”
