Chapter Seventy-Four: Goodness

I don't know the true face of this mountain, just because I haven't reached the place where the clouds rise.

Everyone entered the sword ruins through the narrow stone gate in turn, and was shocked by the situation in front of them. As soon as you enter the mountain gate, you will be on top of a cliff. Beneath the cliffs is a vast lake of black water. Behold the thousands of mountains rising from the lake and piercing the sky. Between the mountains, old apes climb on the cliffs. 10,000 golden carp jumped out of the lake, and under the reflection of the glorious sunset, it burst out of 10,000 rays of light. When you enter the sword ruins, you know that there is really a fairyland in the world.

Wen Ruoyun saw that everyone's faces were different, and her heart was extremely happy. He said proudly: "Everyone, please look at the mountain and river sword!"

Where is the sword? Everyone looked at each other.

Lu Liangmeng pointed ahead and said, "That's it." ”

Everyone followed the sound and looked at it, only to see a very thin cliff standing lonely in the mountains. The cliffs emerge from the water and into the clouds. I don't know how high the cliff is, and I don't know how many years it has stood in this water, but I can see that the cliff is covered with moss.

"The Song ancestors ended in the rebellion of the five dynasties and ten kingdoms, and the world was prosperous and peaceful. In the following 36 years, Song Zu forged the 40,000 catties of gold and stone steel in Cangshan in Cangshan to create the first giant sword that is unique in all dynasties. It is said that the mountains and rivers have the meaning of Yongzhen Taiping and looking at the world and not raising swords again. Yang Xianbao stroked his white beard and said slowly.

Wen Ruoyun smiled: "The old man has some knowledge. ”

Everyone still doubts in their hearts, there really is a giant sword made of 40,000 catties of iron and stone in this world? This is the case with people in the world, if they don't remove the moss on the cliff, they won't believe that it is a sword anyway.

Wen Ruoyun was quite happy, at least he suppressed these old hats who thought highly of themselves on weekdays today. As a person in the Sword Ruins, he has to let others know that in this world, there are no sects other than the Sword Ruins.

After a while, the group turned and walked up the small stone path to the west. Wen Ruoyun said while leading the way in front: "It's not the right time for you to come today, if you come two days ago, it's raining in front of this mountain, and the scenery is beautiful." Thousands of mountains, vast black water, all in the mist of the water. If you eat at this scene, you can eat two large bowls more than usual. ”

Yang Xianbao couldn't help but ask behind him, "Sword Master Wen, do you know why we came to the Sword Ruins?"

Wen Ruoyun was playing with a strand of disobedient long hair hanging in front of his eyebrows, and when he heard Yang Xianbao's question, he said nonchalantly: "Isn't it just for the destruction of the black family, no, the Mo family?"

Yang Xianbao took a deep breath after hearing this, and secretly thought to himself in his heart, this Wen Ruoyun and his Fengxian grandson are both outstanding teenagers. Yang Fengxian is mostly a young man who is arrogant and arrogant, and this Wen Ruoyun has a kind of independent innocence. It stands to reason that if Wen Ruoyun had known the purpose of their coming, she would not have been so enthusiastic about them. He said with such an attitude that the Sword Ruins have nothing to do with the Mo family's affairs, I have a clear conscience, what can you do with me? Besides, that thing was done by the Sword Ruins, but my Sword Ruins don't care, you little arms, can you still twist my Sword Ruins' thighs?

Either way, it's not a good sign for them. If it is the first type, not only will they not be able to find the real culprit of the Mo family's tragedy, but they will also offend the sword ruins. And the second is that the sword ruins should be the enemy of the world openly, if this is the case, who in the world can stop it, the sword ruins with swordsmanship and 3,600 supreme swordsmanship?

Thinking like this, everyone has come to the Cangshan Sword Field in the sword ruins. Cangshan Sword Field is opened up between the mountains and only about ten acres in size. Although the sword field is not big, it is surging at this time. I could see that the sword field was full of sharp and unparalleled swords, and there were hundreds of old and young swordsmen in buns and wide clothes sitting on the swords with their eyes closed.

Yang Xianbao, Lu Liangmeng and the others counted at a glance, and there were eight hundred people in the sword field. Since the establishment of the Sword Ruins, the number of people has always been 810 people. The eleven sword masters, plus the eight hundred sword immortals in the sword field, were the unrivaled sword ruins.

Suddenly, the eight hundred sword immortals in the field all opened their eyes.

shouted in unison: "Who broke into the sword ruins!"

At the same time, a giant sword phantom rose from the Cangshan Sword Field, and thousands of heroes were forced to retreat by this sword.

Wen Ruoyun stepped forward and said, "You don't have to be distracted, continue to cultivate." The sword master of the mountains and rivers gave a special instruction and ordered me to take them up the mountain. ”

As soon as Wen Ruoyun's voice fell, all the sword immortals closed their eyes. The sky-high giant sword also dissipated without a trace. Many of them were already covered in cold sweat, and they were sure that they could be killed on the spot with the sword intent just now.

Coming here, Wen Ruoyun's temperament was also faintly sharp, and he said with a straight face: "The mountain is a small place, and it can't accommodate too many people." Old man, pick some people to go up the mountain with me. Yang Xianbao nodded, he picked a hundred people in order according to the generations of the rivers and lakes, and everyone had no objections.

After Yang Xianbao led people up the mountain with Wen Ruoyun, the rest of the people sat down cross-legged. But here, everyone was a little nervous. Eight hundred sharp and abnormal sword qi lingered around him, and no one would turn a blind eye.

There are eleven halls in the sword ruins, corresponding to the eleven sword masters in the sword ruins. The hall that Wen Ruoyun brought everyone to is called the Abandonment Palace, which corresponds to the Abandonment Sword Master.

Before everyone entered the hall, they heard a hearty laugh, "Senior Yang, Brother Lu, Brother Gou, I've been waiting for a long time!"

With the unfinished words, a man in a dark robe walked out of the hall, the man in the black robe had a white face and no beard, but there were many wrinkles at the corners of his eyes. An unsheathed long sword, carried on its back.

Seeing this person, Lu Liangmeng and Ziyun Dao Chang were both shocked, without him, both of them knew this person. Decades ago, several people also traveled together. This man's name is Cao Renyou, and he made a name for himself in the rivers and lakes with his fingers, but thirty years ago, he abandoned his fingers and followed the sword and entered the sword ruins. I haven't seen each other for many years, and Cao Renyou has become the abandoned sword master in the sword ruins, which makes Lu Liangmeng and Ziyun Dao Chang surprised and delighted.

Although the two are now seniors in the rivers and lakes, when they saw their old friends from many years ago, they couldn't hold it for a while, so they all stepped forward.

The Purple Cloud Daoist sighed: "Brother Cao, how are you doing for these years?"

Lu Liangmeng said with a smile: "I have become the abandoned sword master of the sword ruins, so naturally I have a very good life." ”

Cao Renyou shook his head with a wry smile and said, "Brother Lu, don't make fun of me." ”

Watching the three of them reminiscing about themselves, everyone couldn't help but muttered to themselves. Lu Liangmeng and Ziyun Dao Chang can also be regarded as the leading sheep of everyone, if the two of them are fooled about the Mo Mansion because of their previous friendship, what should they do.

Yang Xianbao coughed lightly and said slowly: "After driving the mountain road for a long time, the old man is also a little dry in his mouth, if there is a glass of water to moisten his throat, it will be fine." ”

Hearing Yang Xianbao's speech, Lu Liangmeng and the three of them said that they were patronizing the old days and lost their manners. Cao Renyou smiled and said, "Everyone, please enter the hall, Master Wen, and please help serve tea." ”

Wen Ruoyun was overwhelmed by Cao Renyou's voice of Wen Jian's call, and he snorted: "Cao Jian's lord is polite." ”

When they had entered the main hall, they saw that it was empty, and they all sat down on the ground. After Wen Ruoyun served a cup of tea, Yang Xianbao said: "Presumably, the intention of our visit today, Master Cao Jian is already clear. ”

Cao Renyou said: "Naturally, you are here for the tragic death of the Mo family and three thousand knights. That night, the ink wine army passed its birthday, and suddenly a flying sword came to the house. There is only the Sword Ruins in the world who can use swordsmanship, and it is natural for everyone to come to the Sword Ruins to ask the reason. As a major faction in the Northland, Sword Ruins will naturally help you find out the truth. ”

"Hehe, why should Master Cao be modest. The Sword Ruins is not a great sect in the Northland, but the first sect in the world. "It was the middle-aged beauty of Fei'e Palace who spoke.

Cao Renyou, the thorn in these words, couldn't hear it, he turned his head to look at the person who spoke: "Deputy Palace Master Liu's words are wrong, my Sword Ruins has never claimed to be the number one sect in the world. My sword market is based on the world, thanks to the love of the rivers and lakes and temples, and has won a big false name. In order to be worthy of the heroes of the rivers and lakes and the people of the world, my sword market has always taken it as its own responsibility to support the right path. The Sword Ruin has been established for hundreds of years, but I have done something that endangers the world?"

Someone said: "The Mo family has always done things for the Liao people, as everyone knows today, but the world didn't know it before." Maybe Erjianxu already knew the reason and wanted to get rid of the Mo family, but to avoid trouble, he killed all the people who went to the Mo family that day. ”

Cao Renyou listened to it and laughed and said: "It is a great good thing to hoe and punish evil, why should I sneak in my sword ruins." Even if it is really as Your Excellency said, then why should we go to great lengths to let go of the people in Luyue Academy, isn't this asking for trouble for ourselves?"

"Hmph, if it wasn't Xu Jianke at that time......"

Before the man finished speaking, Cao Ren Youyou interrupted him and said, "Although Emperor Xu Dao is the number one person, my sword ruin still has to sell his face. Someone went to great lengths to come up with the so-called flying sword to slaughter the Mo family, but they let go of the people in Luyue Academy. This is clearly Xiang Zhuang's sword dance, which is intended for Pei Gong. Someone wants to pour dirty water on my sword ruins, so that the Beimang heroes can oppose my sword ruins. You are all famous figures in the rivers and lakes, can't you still figure out this joint?"

Cao Renyou's words were sonorous and powerful, and every sentence was reasonable, and no one spoke for a while.

Suddenly, the palace master of Fei'e Palace Liu spoke again: "Why is Sword Lord Cao so sure that this is not the work of the Sword Ruins, that sword technique is unique to the Sword Ruins. ”

Cao Renyou shook his head with deep meaning, and he suddenly pinched his sword finger. The abandoned sword behind it flew out suddenly, and I saw that the flying sword circled around the Chinese people in the main hall, and with a bang, the long sword turned its head and stabbed to the ground. In the blink of an eye, the abandoned sword sank into the bluestone slab of the main hall. Cao Renyou stretched out his hand again, and the abandoned sword flew out in an instant, returning to his palm.

Seeing Cao Renyou reveal this hand, everyone couldn't help but be amazed. Cao Renyou said with a smile: "What you saw just now is not a sword master, as long as the cultivation realm reaches a level. With further cultivation, it is not difficult to control the sword to fly. ”

Everyone was already convinced, but Lu Liangmeng spoke again: "I can still distinguish between the sword control and the sword." But the flying sword that appeared in the Mo Mansion that day not only broke the void, but also cut the true qi like chopping melons and vegetables, according to the description of Dean Wu and several students of this academy, it was indeed the sword control technique that appeared that day. ”

The reason why the Sword Ruins Imperial Sword Technique is magical is because the Imperial Sword Technique can break the true qi. True Qi is a thing that is formless and powerless when it is weak, but after the monk reaches the Heaven Stealing Realm, the true qi condensed is one of the most solid things in the world. The sword technique that can easily break this true qi is naturally feared by the world.

Cao Renyou was not flustered, he said indifferently: "Brother Lu, can you tell me how many flying swords appeared in Mofu that day." ”

Lu Liangmeng said: "At least hundred." ”

After hearing this, Cao Renyou smiled and said, "Hundreds of them, so powerful." But do you know that there are only nine people in the sword ruins who know this swordsmanship. Each of the nine wanted to kill the Mo family and those thousands of heroes, but they were only turning their hands, and they didn't need to use the sword technique at all. If there are really hundreds of people in my sword ruins who know how to use swordsmanship, how can I let the Liao people enter the customs. My sword ruin only needs 800 flying swords, traveling thousands of miles a day, killing barbarians outside the pass, how can the world fall into sword soldiers again. Speaking of this, Cao Renyou let out a long sigh, and sorrow came from it.

Everyone is also embarrassed, now that the mountains and rivers are broken, the rivers and lakes of Beimang should be twisted into a rope to resist foreign enemies. In the final analysis, now that there are many incidents in Beimang's rivers and lakes, and frequent loopholes are exploited by people with intentions, they can only blame the little abacus in everyone's heart.

Due to family reasons, Yang Xianbao had the deepest understanding of this, and he said lightly: "If the sword ruins could raise their arms when the Liao people entered the customs, the people in the rivers and lakes of Beimang would have responded. Listening to Cao Jianzhu's words today, the old man knew that the sword ruins were also dedicated to the Great Song Dynasty. But why since the Liao people entered the customs, the sword ruins have been silent and have not made any moves. ”

Cao Renyou looked up at the outside of the hall, his eyes resolute.

He said, "Because the sword ruins can't be moved." ”

In fact, after hearing Cao Renyou's words, everyone's hearts have dispelled a lot of the mustard of the sword ruins. But the suspicion in my heart is even thicker, in this world, except for the people in the sword ruins, who can control swordsmanship, and there are hundreds of them?

In the black water lake, above the cliff that pierces the clouds.

Eight old men sat in the clouds around an older man, who did not know how old he lived, but his beard was white and more than 20 feet long.

The older man suddenly opened his eyes and said softly, "How long has it been." ”

An old man said, "Thirteen hours." ”

The older man said contentedly, "It's been a long time since I've slept so long." ”

The other eight old men looked at each other, but they were all silent.

The older man said slowly: "Yafeidao was robbed out of Shaolin, you all know it." ”

An old man said: "I know, but Yafeidao has been trapped in Shaolin for 70 years, and the ancient religion has long since died out." Even if he can come out, without the faith and mental power of thousands of believers, he will not be afraid of a single tooth. Besides, there is also the old sword master. ”

The old man smiled and said: "The means of tooth non-Taoism are beyond our ability to speculate, and we still have to unite the three families of Buddhism, Taoism and Confucianism to deal with it carefully." Moreover, the old man has wasted his time for more than 260 years, and in another ten days, it will be the old man's limit, and he can no longer wait for shelter. ”

The older man said, and the other eight old men wept secretly. Although they knew it for a long time, everyone still couldn't accept it, how could the old sword master who had gone through the wind and rain with the sword ruins also die? But they didn't think about it, the older ones were also people, and as long as they were people, they couldn't escape birth, old age, sickness and death.

The older man said lightly: "The next old man of the mountain and river sword master has already chosen a candidate, so let that Wen boy do it." ”

An old man immediately spoke: "The mountain and river giant sword does not pass on foreign surnames, this is the rule set by the ancestor. Besides, Wen Ruoyun is already in charge of the Dulei Sword, so how can he be qualified to be the master of the mountain and river sword?"

The older man sighed and said, "The punishment of the ancestor will be borne by the old man after he goes down the Yellow Spring, and this rule should have changed sixty years ago." I want to fight with the Baigu Sect back then, and the sword ruins were badly damaged, and now only nine of us and other people know this swordsmanship. If it weren't for this rule, why would the sword ruins be here? As for the sword master of mountains and rivers, heh, the old man is just a sword keeper, how can he dare to be the sword master of the mountain and river giant sword. ”

Seeing that the older man had already made up his mind, the eight people no longer refutated.

The older man suddenly said, "Is that building in Ear City still there?"

"The old sword master is talking about stubbornness?"

The older man was dumbfounded, he thought for a moment and muttered: "More than two hundred years ago, that building was still called Chu Huan Building......

Two hundred years ago, natural disasters were repeated, Cangzhou was earthquaked, the earth cracked, and a big monster collapsed. That monster eats people, making people panic. At this moment, a young swordsman descended from the sky, and two or three swords killed the monster. After slaying the demon, the young man muttered, "What a big ground mouse." ”

When the boy returned to the mountain, the people of several cities greeted him on the road. When he came to Companion City, he stopped in front of the first floor. He asked others why this building was called Chu Huan Building, and others told him: "The owner of this building is surnamed Yu, very beautiful, she calls herself Yu Ji, and this building is naturally called Chu Huan." ”

The young man went upstairs, broke into Yu Ji's house without permission, looked at the woman with yellow appliquΓ©s and said, "I am the king of Chu!"

The woman was not afraid or annoyed, she looked at the young man with a smile and said, "What kind of Chu overlord are you, you are a child who has not grown all the hair." Despite this, Yu Ji was quite interested in this young man.

The young man was convinced, he sat down and told Yu Ji about his demon slaying. In fact, Yu Ji has heard hundreds of changes in that story, and each time it is more exaggerated than what the young man said.

Yu Ji sat down in front of the young man, looked at him and said, "I thought that hero should be seven or eight feet tall, with four pairs of eyes and two mouths. ”

The boy scratched his head and said, "Isn't that more terrifying than a goblin." ”

Yu Ji laughed, and the boy laughed too.

The young man still became the overlord of Chu Huanlou, and after staying for a long time, the young man was leaving, returning to the mountain to resume his life. Yu Ji was reluctant, and the young man said with a big grin: "In two days, I will come back." With that, he tore open his chest to reveal a blue-blue bird and said, "With this, I can't run." ”

That is a hundred years.

Chu Huan Lou has also become a stubborn building, and everyone laughs at the stupid Yu Ji who found a fake overlord. Since then, there is no more demon slaying hero in the city, but there is more story of a negative man. But the woman in the building was still stubborn.

The older man looked up to the sky and said: "If you do it again, the old man will be the overlord of Chu, not the master of the sword ruins." ”

He lowered his head again and said: "The next generation of the mountain and river giant sword, the old man, has found it, just that Wen boy......"

Everyone was silent this time, in fact, this sentence has been repeated by the older man more than a hundred times. At this time, he is no longer a sword master of mountains and rivers galloping through the rivers and lakes, but a two-hundred-year-old man in his last years.

Seeing that everyone didn't refute him, the older man laughed like a child and said, "Good." ”
