On the balcony.

Lian Jin was escorted upstairs by two soldiers.

Qi Ting stood on the platform, watching Lian Jin's expression and every move with cold eyes.

Lian Jin was pressed to his knees in despair, his hair disheveled over his body, his body dressed in a dirty and patched beggar outfit, his face covered in black sludge, and his hands were covered with mud between the ten fingernails.

Looking at his outfit, it seems that he is really a beggar, if you don't look carefully, you really can't see that this person is Lian Jin.

Qi Ting also looked at it twice before he recognized this person as Lian Jin.

"General, we found Lian Jin in a pile of beggars in an alley south of the city. ”

Qi Ting bowed slightly, but his eyes were fixed on Lian Jin, and he said in a deep voice: "This person dresses himself so carefully, it's hard for you to find him!"

The soldier replied: "The subordinates didn't recognize him at first sight, but they saw that he was out of place with the beggars around him, and after taking a second look, he was a little suspicious, but he didn't expect that this person was really Lian Jin!"

Qi Ting stared at Lian Jin and said in a deep voice, "Raise your head!"

Lian Jin knelt there without any reaction, as if he had lost his interest.

The soldier on the side scolded, stretched out his hand and pulled Lian Jin's hair, forcibly pulled Lian Jin's head up, and let Lian Jin's face face face Qi Ting.

"Whew...... Whew......"

Qi Ting saw that Lian Jin's body began to tremble uncontrollably, the expression on his face was distorted and frightened, the heavy gasping sound, and the sloppy gaze all made people perceive the fear and tension in his heart.

"Don't ...... Don't kill me......"

Lian Jin trembled and begged, because his hair was pulled from behind, he could only tilt his head back uncontrollably, but his eyes did not dare to meet Qi Ting's calm gaze.

Qi Ting stepped forward and half-squatted down, and pulled Lian Jin's face to meet his eyes.

"It's not impossible to live, but you have to tell me honestly......" Qi Ting stared at Lian Jin's eyes, "Who instructed you?"

Lian Jin's pupils contracted suddenly, and then he immediately shook his head desperately and said loudly, "Don't kill me...... I don't know anything...... Don't kill me...... Don't kill me......"

Qi Ting let go of his hand, stood up, patted the sludge on his hand, and said in a deep voice, "Put him in the prisoner car." ”

The instinctive reaction of people's subconscious is difficult to disguise.

Lian Jin's eyes added another layer of doubt to Qi Ting's heart.

...

...

It is on the shore of a lake.

Thatched house.

Lu Yunzhou gasped, looked at the long sword hanging in front of his throat, and said with a smile: "You still won, senior brother!"

"Hammer!"

Zhongsun Xuanhua put the Chengying Sword back into the sheath, panting heavily, he shook his head and said: "It took more than 300 moves to take you down, Senior Brother Qi, your swordsmanship is really powerful, if you wait for your swordsmanship to be completed, Senior Brother is afraid that it will be difficult to win your move! By the way, what is the name of your swordsmanship?"

Lu Yunzhou shrugged helplessly, he didn't think about creating a sword technique at all, but he heard Zhongsun Xuanhua's misunderstanding that after he created his own sword technique, he did have the idea of creating a sword technique.

"I just have some ideas now, this set of swordsmanship has not yet taken shape, how can it have a name?" Lu Yunzhou said with a smile.

Shanrou on the side listened inexplicably, although she was still resentful of Lu Yunzhou in her heart, but as a martial idiot, she couldn't help but ask curiously: "Senior Brother Zhongsun, Qi Yu, what are you talking about? Qi Yu wants to create a sword technique?"

Without waiting for Lu Yunzhou to answer, Cao Qiudao spoke: "Qi Yu, you come with me, Xuanhua, Rou'er, you practice by yourself!"

"Yes, Master!" Lu Yunzhou and Zhongsun Xuanhua nodded in response, Shanrou glared at Lu Yunzhou dissatisfiedly, and had no choice but to be stupid.

Lu Yunzhou followed behind Cao Qiudao and walked north, until he came to the place where the big bluestone that he had found Cao Qiudao with Zhongsun Xuanhua and Han Jian last time was located.

At this time, the figures of Zhongsun Xuanhua and Shanrou were no longer visible, the surrounding sky was high and the earth was high, the breeze was blowing, and there were only Cao Qiudao and Lu Yunzhou in the vast world.

Cao Qiudao said with a calm face: "Qi Yu, tell me what you think, and I will consult with you as a teacher!"

Lu Yunzhou was a little surprised, although he did have the idea of wanting to create a set of swordsmanship, but he also knew that with his current ability, if he wanted to create this set of swordsmanship, he would not be able to do it in ten or twenty years.

But with the help of a grandmaster of Cao Qiudao's generation, the situation would be completely different.

Lu Yunzhou said a little excitedly: "Yes, Master, it's just that these thoughts are not my own thoughts, but from some ancient book fragments, most of them are biographies of some characters, so the disciples can only describe them roughly!"

Cao Qiudao's gaze finally waved, as if he was surprised that Lu Yunzhou could find these martial arts mysteries in the biographies, and said, "Tell me about it!"

Lu Yunzhou cleared his throat and began to make a fool of himself--

"That, legend has it that hundreds of years ago, there was a kendo master named Dugu Qiuqiu, and the people in the rivers and lakes called the sword demon...... The tombstone of Dugu's predecessor is engraved: 'For more than 30 years, I have killed all the enemies and traitors, defeated all the heroes and heroes, and there is no resistance in the world, and there is nothing to do, but to live in seclusion in the deep valley and take the eagle as a friend. Woohoo, I can't get an opponent in my life, and I'm embarrassed to be lonely......." Lu Yunzhou imitated the tone of loneliness and vicissitudes of life.

The light in Cao Qiudao's eyes suddenly flourished, as if he thought of the situation that he was difficult to find an opponent in his life, which aroused a strong resonance, and sighed: "A good life to seek an opponent but not to get! A good sword demon to seek defeat alone! Yu This life hates that he can't be born in the same era as this Dugu predecessor, and it is a lifelong regret to learn and exchange the true meaning of kendo together!"

Looking at Cao Qiudao's rare true feelings, Lu Yunzhou blinked, and suddenly thought that Cao Qiudao is also rare to meet opponents in this life, isn't it also the "solitary defeat" of this world! The state of mind of the two is extremely similar, no wonder Cao Qiudao, who has always focused on kendo and does not linger in everything, and has no emotional fluctuations, would have such emotion at this moment!

Lu Yunzhou continued: "...... There are three swords in the sword shrine of Dugu's predecessors...... Fierce and fierce, invincible, the weak crown is used to compete with the heroes of Heshuo...... Ziwei soft sword, used before the age of thirty, accidentally injured the righteous and ominous, but abandoned the deep valley...... The heavy sword has no edge, and the great ingenuity does not work. Before the age of forty, he was rampant in the world...... After the age of forty, he does not stay in things, and the grass, trees, bamboos and stones can be used as swords, and since then he has been refined, and gradually advanced to the realm of no sword is better than sword......"

"The heavy sword has no edge, and the great skill is not work...... No sword is better than a sword......" Cao Qiudao muttered to himself, bowing his head in contemplation, his expression full of fascination.

Lu Yunzhou suddenly said embarrassedly: "Master, I am wearing a heavy scabbard against the enemy, just to imitate the heavy sword swordsmanship of 'heavy sword without edge, great ingenuity does not work', but firstly, the swordsmanship I have been pondering blindly is rare, and secondly, the scabbard that I have replaced temporarily is not heavy enough, and my own strength is not big enough." The difference is a millimeter, and the effect is greatly reduced!"
