Chapter 45: Who Guards the Sword
In the past two days of welcoming guests, Fang Xing didn't encounter any trouble, but most of the people who were invited to come to Ten Thousand Swords City didn't dare to make a mistake, even if they usually had some grievances, they could only force a few words of laughter with the enemy who didn't deal with them here.
Fang Xing was not interested in the grievances of these people, looking at the people from all walks of life, Fang Xing didn't bother to go up and talk to them, among these people, only one young man caught Fang Xing's attention, this young man was different from the other people Fang Xing met at this conference, other people, especially the young generation of talents, came to Wanjian City for the first time, and they still had a sense of curiosity, although they would not do anything like a countryman entering the city for the sake of face, but he would always be unable to resist the curiosity in his heart, and would silently observe the landscape in Wanjian City, but this young man ignored the surrounding environment, as if he was not interested in all this, and his master seemed a little afraid of him.
Such a strange pair of master and apprentice really made Fang Xing curious. Fang Xing looked at the back of the young man leaving, felt a little familiar, and asked the disciple who had just received him curiously, "Do you know who the one who just passed by is?"
The disciple saw that Senior Brother Wu Zhi, who had always been quiet, actually asked himself, and he was nervous and speechless for a while, and it took a while to calm down, and said respectfully: "Senior brother, that is Gu Jianfeng and his disciples from Manyue, four people have passed the primary election of our Ten Thousand Swords City in this conference, and these four people are qualified to participate in our final trial, this Gu Jianfeng's disciple is one of them, and he is a rookie who has recently risen in Manyue, because Manyue is located in the Southern Wilderness, so we don't know much about this person." ”
Fang Xing wondered, "Didn't our Ten Thousand Sword City check the details of the people in advance?"
The disciple was also embarrassed in his heart, he was just a small fourth-generation disciple, his status was low, and many things were not his turn to ask.
Fang Xing knew that this disciple didn't know much, so he didn't feel sorry for him anymore, he took a deep look at the direction where the two left, Fang Xing didn't use his spiritual sense to investigate, there are many masters here, it is difficult to guarantee that someone will notice, there is no need to cause a big deal for some irrelevant people.
In the dead of night, in the hall of Ten Thousand Swords City, there was a constant noise.
Luo Xin sat in the main seat with a gloomy face, he didn't understand, there were people competing for all the sword guarding tasks, and even the always low-key Medicine Hall Elder Baili Bing was fighting for this matter, Luo Xin didn't know when the Ten Thousand Swords City that was united and united by all people ceased to exist, and he was a little helpless in his heart, but he thought that this huge Ten Thousand Swords City must not be destroyed in his own hands, so he regained his momentum.
The final prize of the sword festival is the spirit sword, I don't know how many years, no one has ever seen the spirit sword, it is said that the spirit sword has a spirit, and the average mortal soldier cannot compare with it at all, so this time the spirit sword will be used as a reward, which has really attracted the attention of countless people, if it is not for the age limit, I am afraid that even some old guys will be involved.
It was Wang Tianhua who competed with Baili Bing for the task of defending the sword, Wang Tianhua, as the great elder of Ten Thousand Swords City, was the highest combat power under Luo Xin, and he was the most suitable person, but Baili Bing, who had always been indisputable, did not agree to let Wang Tianhua do this.
Wang Tianhua stared at Baili Bing deadly, but Baili Bing was not afraid, but he still said unhurriedly: "The Great Elder is so anxious to keep the spirit sword, isn't it because he is paying attention to the guards and stealing himself!?"
Wang Tianhua's eyelids jumped, and then he laughed and said: "Lao Baili, you are really joking, I, Wang Tianhua, would never do such a thing, and if I steal this spirit sword, what is the use, if I steal it, and I can't use it in front of people, then what's the use?"
Baili Bing said firmly: "Anyway, I dare to guarantee that if the spirit sword is handed over to you for safekeeping, it will definitely be gone, for the sake of the dignity of my Ten Thousand Sword City, I must not let such a thing happen!" After speaking, he bowed deeply to Luo Xin and said, "I hope the city lord will think twice!"
Baili Bing actually didn't know much about the effect of the spirit sword in Wang Tianhua's hands, he only did this because the mysterious male man from the Divine Doctor Valley that night, the current owner of the Divine Medicine Valley, Baili Bing has been thinking about the day when Xiao Yi will regret his decision and recall the dismissed disciples since he left the Divine Medicine Valley, Baili Bing doesn't care much about whether he can return to the Divine Medicine Valley, what he cares more about is that Xiao Yi can admit his mistakes back then!
Back then, all the disciples begged Xiao Yi to take back his life, but Xiao Yi insisted on going his own way, so for these proud people, there was nothing more pleasant than letting Xiao Yi admit his mistake in person.
Luo Xin finally slapped fifty boards each after pondering for a while, and said in a deep voice: "Then the responsibility of guarding the spirit sword will be handed over to Elder Baili and Tianhua to guard it together!
Wan Tianhua said disdainfully: "No need, the city lord, you can just let Lao Baili guard it alone, he always thinks that I am worried about the spirit sword, I saw that the spirit sword was lost in your hand, how can you explain!
Baili Bing saw that Wang Tianhua finally took the initiative to give up, and breathed a sigh of relief slightly.
After Baili Bing returned to his small courtyard, he was still a little restless. Not long after, a long-awaited voice came from outside the door, and Baili Bing said in a low voice: "Come in, remember to bring the door!"
Fang Xing entered the room and found that Baili Bing was pouring tea into the two teacups that had been arranged.
Fang Xing smiled: "You know I'll come?"
Baili Bing smiled bitterly: "I don't know how you can get the news in Ten Thousand Swords City, but I believe in Xiao Yi's vision, and I decided to let me guard the spirit sword in the council hall tonight, and the task of guarding the spirit sword will fall to me from tomorrow." ”
Fang Xing sat down leisurely, took a sip of the hot tea poured by Baili Bing, and exclaimed: "Good tea, it is worthy of being born in the Divine Medicine Valley." I know you must have some doubts in your heart, if I don't come tonight, I think you will be in trouble!"
Baili Bing was not overjoyed by Fang Xing's admiration, but waited for Fang Xing's next step.
Fang Xing continued: "Are you afraid that I will come to steal the sword?"
Baili Bing was silent, although he didn't speak, but the meaning in his eyes was, don't you want to?
Fang Xing wondered, could it be that my performance was so obvious? Fang Xing solemnly said to Baili Bing: "Don't worry, I won't steal the sword! I won't cause you to be charged with dereliction of duty, but you have to be careful of Wang Tianhua, he may steal the sword!"
Baili Bing said curiously: "Although this spirit sword is a spirit sword, it is an ominous sword, even if he Wang Tianhua steals it, he can't use it, what is the use of this sword?"
Fang Xing explained: "Luo Xin and Wang Tianhua have always been at odds with each other, this sword sacrifice conference is unprecedentedly large, it can be said that most of the people in the martial arts are now staring at this feast, if at this critical juncture, the spirit sword as a reward is lost, what do you say Luo Xin will do?"
Needless to say, if the spirit sword of Ten Thousand Swords City was lost at this time, then Luo Xin, the city lord of Ten Thousand Swords City, would bear the brunt of it, not only would he have to face the condemnation of the entire martial arts, but I was afraid that the elders in Ten Thousand Swords City would also impeach him.
After thinking about it, Baili Bing felt that the man in front of him was becoming more and more mysterious, and the depth of his mind even made him feel a little scared, if it weren't for the smile on Fang Xing's face and a hint of friendliness, Baili Bing refused to be in the company of such a person, he had been a doctor all his life, and the worst thing he was at was these conspiracies, and getting along with such a person, he was sold at some point!
After explaining some things to Baili Bing, Fang Xing disappeared into the night.
