Chapter 43 Acacia at the Grave
The yellow sand is desolate, and the old servant is desolate. A lonely grave, where husband and wife sleep together.
A few days earlier, the people of Beiguo City, who came and went, placed their condolences and condolences in front of this tomb, and the incense candles and melons scattered in front of the grave, and the white paper money flying in the wind.
It's just that everyone has their own life, and it won't stop running because of someone's departure, after all, there is only one old servant left in this tomb to take care of, but how many things need to be taken care of in a new grave, the old servant is just taking care of it for the sake of taking care of it, once people are busy, many emotions can be hidden.
The small hill not far away, which is said to be a hill, is actually just a raised mound of earth.
Xiao Wu sat alone in the weeds, looking at the vagaries of the white clouds in the sky, carrying a wine jug in his hand, and taking two sips from time to time, but the acacia sword on his waist was gone.
The coffin in the tomb is much larger than usual, Li Qi and his wife are in the same coffin, and in the middle of the two is a box, and the sword is hidden in the box.
Xiao Wu drank the last drop of wine in the pot, accompanied by the sunset scenery, missing the kind old man.
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound behind him.
"Drunkard, you're really drinking here. β
Xiao Wu didn't look back and said with a smile.
"I'm a drunkard, I won't get drunk anyway, it's just for practice. β
Qingtian walked to Xiao Wu's side and sat down.
"How's it going, there's still no sign of a breakthrough?"
"No, except for the opportunity to break through the innate with my grandmother that day, I can't find that feeling anymore in the past few days. β
Qingtian held his cheeks and looked at the scenery on the horizon and whispered.
"If you can't rush to the innate realm, if you don't have a sense of understanding, it's not something you can break through with repeated hard practice. β
"I've been able to get by before, and I don't have much pursuit of cultivation, but this experience has made me know how weak and powerless I am. β
Qingtian turned his head to look at Xiao Wu and said with a chuckle.
"You must be a great admirer of Monkey King, I see that your eyes are going to light up when you mention him. β
"Well, when I was a child, I lived with my master, but I didn't look like a Jianghu person, and I was actually no different from the people in Beiguo City. Later, I sneaked out to explore the rivers and lakes, but found that the rivers and lakes were completely different from my imagination, and I couldn't understand why the same people must be higher than the common people. β
As he spoke, Xiao Wu couldn't help but feel a little indignant.
"I was indignant, but I didn't have the power to take care of it, and the outlier in the eyes of everyone was not those bastards but me. After hearing the name of Monkey King and learning about his story, I realized that my idea was right, what was wrong was this river and lake, I wanted to be like Monkey King, walk the world, and wipe out the grievances in my heart. β
To Xiao Wu's surprise, Qingtian did not mock Xiao Wu as before, but echoed it.
"Yes, Monkey King is indeed a great man. β
Listening to the echo of the sunny day, Xiao Wuton became angry.
"Although my skills are lowly now, who is a natural master, one day I will be like the great sage of the year, with the sword in my hand, to correct this distorted rivers and lakes, I want to tell those high-ranking people in the rivers and lakes loudly that they are wrong!"
Unexpectedly, Qingtian was not only not infected by Xiao Wu's arrogance, but said a little depressed.
"Even if you can be like Monkey King, even if your heart is higher than the sky, you can only be knocked out of the mortal dust in the endΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·"
Qingtian's words seemed to be said to Xiao Wu, but they seemed to be said to himself.
His brows furrowed slightly, and he looked at the tomb on a sunny day.
"It's actually nice to be like them, at least they can be buried in one place. β
βΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β·β
Xiao Wu didn't say anything, just tilted his head sideways and looked at Qingtian's face reflected in the golden sunset, and he couldn't help but be stupid for a while, and said for a long time.
"It's getting late, let's go back to the city. β
The two of them walked slowly towards Beiguo City, and after a long time, they returned to the strange sunny day and suddenly asked.
"Xiao Wu, you are the descendant of the Ape Gong Sword. β
Under Chen Zhao's inform, Xiao Wu, who knew that he had inherited his master, couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed, and was seen to be a master again, but he didn't quite understand what the inheritance of this ape sword was.
"I guess so, how do you see that?"
Hearing Xiao Wu's answer, Qingtian rolled his eyes with some dissatisfaction.
"What should it be, the shadow of the Ape Gong Sword in your body is too heavy, I just wonder why you know the body of the Ape Gong Sword, but you can't use the Ape Gong Sword?"
"Master has taught so much, what can I do?"
Qingtian's eyes were smart, and he said with a sly smile.
"Is that soΒ·Β·Β·Β·Β·Β· Hey, Xiao Wu, it's better for me to teach you the Ape Gong Sword!"
Looking at the sunny sky in surprise, Xiao Wu wondered.
"Do you still know the Ape Sword?"
But seeing the sunny day, he said very complacently.
"I know a little bit about the skin, but it's okay to teach you. β
Xiao Wu looked at Qingtian helplessly, but he was even more surprised by the origin of Qingtian, who was slightly younger than Xiao Wu, was far clearer than Xiao Wu in some secrets, and his martial arts were still above Xiao Wu, and now he even knew a little bit about Xiao Wu's skills, which couldn't help but make Xiao Wu guess the origin of Qingtian.
It's just that what makes Xiao Wu strange is that a woman like Qingtian has outstanding appearance and extraordinary martial arts, if she is a child of a famous family, she should be famous in the rivers and lakes, but if she is not a famous family, how can Qingtian know those secrets, and her skills are so mysterious.
"Okay, you teach me to learn. β
Seeing Xiao Wu's indifferent look, Qingtian said angrily.
"Hmph, do you ask someone like this?"
Xiao Wu clenched his fists and arched his hands in amusement, and said pretendically.
"In Xia Xiaowu, I sincerely ask the Sunny Sky Heroine for advice, and I hope the Heroine will give advice, this is polite!"
Qingtian raised his head and pouted.
"It's pretty much the same, since you really ask for advice, this woman will tell you about this ape sword. β
I saw that Qingtian suddenly walked in front of Xiao Wu, walking backwards with his hands behind his back, talking at the same time.
"This ape sword has been passed down from the pre-Qin period, thousands of years ago, although it has been carried forward and modified by successive generations, but its essence has never changed. Xiao Wu, do you know that in the martial arts of the world, in terms of swordsmanship, which is higher or lower?"
"I don't know, please advise the woman. Xiao Wu said with a pretentious gesture.
"In the martial arts of the world, the Zhenwu Emperor of Wudang Mountain is the first in the sword, and its Nine Heavens Demon Divine Sword is the dominant one in the rivers and lakes, and the Taiyi Divine Bureau of Taiyi Tianzun does not lose the true martial arts, and the Manjushri Bodhisattva of the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain can be called the first two with its great wisdom sword. Under them, there are not a few sword masters of Taoism and Buddhism, and there are also sword masters such as Li Jing and Wei Zheng in the Tang Dynasty. β
Qingtian said many names in a row, and the names of these top people can be said to be thunderous, at least Xiao Wu has heard of them.
"It's just that compared with this ape sword, these people's swordsmanship can be said to be completely different and strange. β
Seeing that Qingtian compared the Ape Gong Sword with the above-mentioned masters, Xiao Wu couldn't help but be interested.
"Oh, how do you say?"
"When the world's swordsmanship is the first to focus on the sword, followed by the sword intent, and finally the sword move. But this ape sword is very different, this sword technique does not pay attention to the Tao, nor does it pay attention to the mind, and there is no fixed move. β
Qingtian's words, Xiao Wu was stunned, because Xiao Wu really couldn't imagine what such a swordsmanship would look like.
"The essence of the Ape Sword has always been the development of the secret of the human body, and this has not changed for thousands of years. β
Listening to what Qingtian said, Xiao Wu didn't react at all, he had never heard of the reputation of this ape sword in the past few years, because Xiao Wu didn't attach too much importance to this sword technique, even if it was his own inheritance.
Qingtian glanced at Xiao Wu, and when he understood what Xiao Wu was thinking, he said.
"The Ape Gong Sword is a single line, and it is normal that the reputation in the rivers and lakes is not obvious, but those who really have some background will not underestimate it, and you will guard the treasure mountain without knowing it. You must know that forty years ago, the descendants of the ape sword of that generation were the existence of the mighty martial arts. β
"Really?" Xiao Wu was interested.
"Forty years ago, the heirs of the ape sword didn't even bother to use a sword, but just carried a three-foot bamboo stick, defeated countless heroes from all over the world, and won the second place in the world of swordsmanship. β
"Who's that man?"
"Meishan, Yuan Hong. β
Xiao Wu has heard of Yuan Hong's name, even after so many years, there are still people on the rivers and lakes who talk about his story.
It is rumored that this person is also known as the seven monsters of Meishan, only with a bamboo stick to the enemy of this monster, greedy for drinking but only like turbid wine these two monsters, sleeping can not have a piece of tile to cover the head of these three monsters, preference for farming things these four monsters, accompanied by a horse but do not ride these five monsters, do not climb the mountain, do not cross the water these six monsters, the personality is eccentric, moody these seven monsters.
Xiao Wu suddenly thought of something at this time, and opened his mouth to ask.
"Then who was the first sword in the world that year?"
But seeing that the sunny day had been expected, the steps back also stopped.
"That man just made a flash of surprise and claimed to be the Master of the Heavenly Sect. β
