Chapter 35: The Hainan Swordsman
I saw an old Dao in a Taoist robe walk out, he was the first master of the Hainan Sword Sect, Tian Lingzi.
Obviously, he is already a grandmaster-level figure, his eyes are like electricity, his steps are calm, his body is like the wind, he is a fairy wind, and he is standing proudly with a long sword hanging from his waist.
"I don't know which one is Mr. Xiao Han, the first swordsman of the Turks?" he finally asked, his eyes were not looking, his gaze naturally fell on Xiao Han, he had already felt his sword qi.
"It's Xiao Han below, the predecessor of Tianlingzi, you're polite!" Xiao Han hurriedly saluted, for fear that this old Taoist would say that he was arrogant.
"Hmph, Your Excellency is so majestic, as soon as you arrived in the Central Plains, you actually destroyed my top ten masters, good, very good, Lao Dao just happened to learn Turkic swordsmanship today, I hope Your Excellency will not disappoint me!" Tian Lingzi said contemptuously.
"Hey, Tianlingzi, although you are a martial arts senior, you can't be rude, my brother Han has treated you politely, why are you still so rude, do you want this princess to expel you from Chang'an immediately?" Princess Taiping was furious.
"Hey, princess, he is a Turkic barbarian, who came to challenge our Central Plains martial arts, the old Taoist priest is not in the mood to play with such ignorant people, the princess is not happy, let's go!" Tian Lingzi said, and said to Xiao Han: "It turns out that Your Excellency is just relying on the princess's support, so powerful, disrespectful, hum!"
After speaking, the old Taoist priest wanted to leave.
"Hey, since the old-timer is here, why don't we talk about the sword? I want to ask your Excellency for your master's tricks!" Xiao Han stopped him.
I heard that Hainan swordsmanship has always been vicious and sharp, and he is just wanting to see it, so how can he miss such a good opportunity?
Tian Lingzi's eyes lit up, like a wolf that saw its prey, staring straight at Xiao Han, that gaze was like sword light, trying to penetrate Xiao Han's heart, making him cold and heartbroken, and even, kneeling on his knees.
However, Xiao Han's eyes were as wide as the sea, as transparent as blue, and the flame in his heart was also rising, shooting straight towards Tianlingzi like a flame, and it seemed that there was still mockery.
This look was like the power of lightning, and in a moment, Tian Lingzi was almost shaken: it seems that it is impossible to defeat Xiao Han through his gaze, this kid's concentration is too high, so high that he can't imagine it, he is definitely more terrifying than the sword saint when he was young!
He unconsciously remembered the most painful memory of his life, and the only fiasco in his life: at that time, he was in his twenties, and he heard that the Sword Saint had been named the number one swordsman in the world; he was not convinced, and immediately looked for the Sword Saint, trying to compete with him, but the Sword Saint asked him a few words, and he was so bored, he didn't even have the courage to draw the sword; just because the Sword Saint had sealed his sword with leaves, he didn't even have a chance to make a move!
Now, Xiao Han came, he smelled the breath of the Sword Saint, as if, he was the Sword Saint of his youth, that eye, like a repetition of thirty years ago, this time, how should he deal with himself?
In the past 30 years, he has not forgotten to challenge the Sword Saint every day, and put all his thoughts on the practice of swordsmanship, even his pretty junior sister has given up, his life's wish: to meet the Sword Saint again and defeat the Sword Saint!
Now, here's the opportunity, this kid is his best testing stone, how to beat him?
His mind was calculating, and his eyes made contact, and there was no chance of victory, so what was the chance of drawing his sword? Will it be in vain?
He was unconsciously lost in thought, and his eyes began to blur, as if the last time, thirty years ago, the scene of the defeat at the Sword Saint was still in his eyes, and that leaf, like a bolt of lightning, shattered all his dreams at once!
"Hey, Tianlingzi, are you going to go, or are you going to continue to compete with my brother Han?" Princess Taiping's voice was like thunder, and it smashed on his heart.
At this time, he "woke up", he didn't realize that he was grateful to her, if it wasn't for the voice of Princess Taiping, I am afraid that he would have been defeated and fell into the trap he dug himself!
"Haha, Mr. Xiao Han is worthy of Mr. Xiao Han, the first swordsman of the Turks really deserves his reputation, okay! This look, well, not under the sword master of the year, no wonder he defeated my top ten masters of the Central Plains in a row!" Tian Lingzi tried to use haha to cover up the uneasiness in his heart.
Xiao Han saw it, he knew the roots, but he didn't say anything, he only smiled lightly and said, "Senior Tianlingzi, do you want to rest for a while?"
"No, Lao Dao just remembered that old friend just now, hehe, boy, let you have the upper hand, okay, let's talk about the sword!" He tried to defeat Xiao Han in the way of the Sword Master.
Only then did everyone understand that it turned out that they had fought for a round: the battle of eyes, Xiao Han actually had the upper hand!
"Seniors, please feel free, Xiao Han bows and listens to the teachings!" Xiao Han actually became more and more polite.
"May I ask Mr. Xiao Han, why do you ask about the way of the sword?" Tian Lingzi took out the question of the sword saint back then.
This is also a question he has been thinking about, he has been thinking about it for more than 30 years, and he still doesn't understand: a sword is a sword, and a killing weapon is also a killing weapon, where does it come from?
"What do the seniors think? Xiao Han is trying to listen to the teachings of the seniors!" Xiao Han's eyes flashed: Obviously, this old way has used a trick!
"I'm asking you a question, boy, don't you know?"
Hehe, Xiao Han smiled, looked at the Tianlingzi in front of him again, and then said, "Seniors don't know what kendo is, right?
Suddenly, these words pierced into Tian Lingzi's heart like a sword, and he immediately blushed, but nodded involuntarily.
"Haha, it turns out that Tianlingzi, you don't know what kendo is, hey, it's too low-level, Brother Han, it's better to let him worship you as a teacher, and you can teach him again!" Princess Taiping laughed.
She didn't miss any opportunity to let Xiao Han show her face: she really loves Xiao Han!
"That's not necessary, haha!" Xiao Han smiled, and then said to her: "It's just a story, Sister Taiping might as well listen carefully, there will be gains!"
"On my way to Chang'an, I passed through Huashan, I went to visit the Sword Master; he made me a cup of tea and let me taste the tea, saying that it was the tea trees he planted with his own hands, the leaves he picked with his own hands, the water he took with his own hands, the warm water with his own hands, and the tea made by his own hands; he waited for me to taste the tea and asked me how the tea tasted, and I said that it was great, and that's it! This is how I competed with the Sword Master!" Xiao Han told the truth again.
"Ah, who wins?" asked Princess Taiping.
"Sister, what do you say?" Xiao Han's eyes sparkled again.
The black snow moved again, and apparently, it heard his voice, and it figured it out.
"It should be a peace, as the saying goes, 'a thousand gold is easy to get, but a bosom friend is hard to find', Brother Han should be the bosom friend of the predecessor of the Sword Saint!" Princess Taiping said casually.
"Yes, that's exactly the case, so, the so-called sword competition, kendo is meaningless, it's enough for me to understand his voice;
"Ah, could it be that this is the way of the sword?" Tian Lingzi's face was confused again.
"Yes, this is the way of the sword, tea is tea, water is water, tea is water, water is tea, that's all, senior, don't you understand?" Xiao Han's eyes flashed again.
"Huh?" Tian Lingzi's eyes suddenly lit up: it turned out that the so-called sword path was just like that!
"Senior Tianlingzi, do you still dare to compete with my brother Han?" Princess Taiping's eyes smiled, and there was mockery in her voice.
"I lost, what is it better than? Mr. Xiaohan's realm is already very high, there is no need to compare swords, Tian Lingzi admits defeat!"
"Okay, Tian Lingzi, you still have a little bearing, I like it!Okay, Tian Lingzi, you are also a character, haha!" Princess Taiping laughed again.
"Thank you princess for your appreciation, the poor Dao's wish has been fulfilled, let's go, prince, please forgive me for being disrespectful!" After speaking, he wanted to leave.
"Hey, senior, it's better to show off the sword, how about it? The junior is trying to see the senior's Hainan sword move!" At this time, Xiao Han's face was actually sincere.
As soon as Tian Lingzi saw it, he knew that he was not teasing, so he said: "Okay, then, the old way is ugly!"
After speaking, he pulled out his long sword and really stabbed at Xiao Han, he had gone all out!
Xiao Han stepped on the seven-star step, moving at will, in the sword light, he was calm and chic, just like a plum blossom in the snow, every time he shook, it was so just right, and the cooperation was seamless.
Finally, Tian Lingzi finished his seventy-two moves of Hainan swordsmanship, and then stood up happily and asked, "What does Mr. Xiaohan think of the old Taoist's swordsmanship?"
"It's so good, this Hainan swordsmanship is really worthy of the swordsmanship that shocks the rivers and lakes, the swords are just right, the sword aura is sluggish, and the anger is chilling, good, Xiao Han has been taught!" At this time, Xiao Han bowed to Tian Lingzi again.
"Thank you, I don't know if the old Taoist priest is qualified to see Mr. Xiao Han's swordsmanship?" Tian Lingzi said respectfully, and there was no arrogance on his face.
"Haha, why not, it's just that my current swordsmanship is not as good as Sister Taiping's, why don't you let Sister Taiping practice it for you?" Xiao Han's eyes had already looked at Princess Taiping.
"Hmph, Brother Han wants Taiping to come forward again, lazy!" Princess Taiping's face turned out to be full of spring.
"Haha, who made my brother like Sister Taiping?" Xiao Han turned to Tian Lingzi again and said, "Senior has no opinion, right? Sister Taiping of the Plum Blossom Sword Technique is much better than me, how about it?"
He recommended Princess Taiping again, which shows how much he values her in his heart!
"Okay, why not? Then there's Princess Lao!" Tian Lingzi was much more polite this time.
"Okay, for the sake of the old Taoist, you are very polite, this princess will fulfill you! Or, Princess Yunluo, let's play together, how about it?" Princess Taiping invited Princess Yunluo.
The princess of a big country is the princess of a big country, and her demeanor, bearing, knowledge, and thinking are all superior!
"Okay, Sister Taiping likes it, Yun Luo should accompany her!" After speaking, she had already drawn her sword, and with a move, Hanmei Yingxue had already attacked Princess Taiping.
They really want to play this time, you attack and defend, interact with each other, recruit and attack the enemy's key points, without mercy, but they are familiar with each other's moves, complement each other, and become the most enjoyable dance!
But seeing Gaozong Li Zhi and Wu Meiniang, they were frightened, and their eyes looked at them motionlessly, and their hearts were in their throats: I am afraid that Princess Taiping will have an accident!
It wasn't until the sword dance was finished that their hearts fell to the ground, and the smiles on their faces were repeated!
"Emperor, it's too dangerous, don't be so red in the future, scare your mother to death!" Wu Meiniang's face was full of smiles, and the worry was all in it, with a motherly demeanor.
"Got it, Queen Mother, it's okay, Princess Yunluo is just practicing swords with me, Queen Mother doesn't have to worry!"
eyes, and couldn't help but look at Xiao Han again!
