Chapter 8 The Eight Laws of Yongzi
As soon as the sword was in his hand, Guan Qianjian made a deep cut on his left arm, and blood gushed out. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
He took the sword underneath, and with a "ding" sound, the two touched, and the steaming blood disappeared without a trace, not spilling a drop on the ground, like snowflakes falling into boiling water.
The old man let out a "huh", his face became solemn, and he stared at the location of the blood dripping.
He frowned deeply, and there was a big doubt in his heart: "Blood into the sword and not there, this is a situation that has never been seen before! How can this be, is this not amazing-looking guy actually have a special fate with this sword?"
When the mind wandered, the vision was born again: a fiery red slowly climbed up from the tip of the sword, just like a kettle pouring water into a bottle, rising steadily, as the wound on Guan Qianjian's hand slowly coagulated, the blood flow became less and less, and the speed of red rising also slowed down until it stopped in the middle.
Guan Qianjian asked bitterly, "Is it possible that the whole sword can be sheathed when it turns red?"
The old man said "hey" and said, "I want to know too." You don't want to cut off your other arm. ”
Guan Qianjian changed his left hand and cut another cut in his right hand. The blade of the sword quickly turned red.
The sweat on Guan Qianjian's forehead rolled down, and he rolled his eyes and asked, "Now if the sword can be sheathed, what should I say?"
The old man smiled and said, "That is, you should not die." From his smile, he didn't believe things were going this way.
Guan Qianjian was still not at ease, and asked, "Is it possible that as long as the sword can be returned to the sheath, I can leave here alive?"
The old man said: "That's not necessarily, if I want to die alone, I often don't need a reason, and if I am determined to kill someone, the gods will also stand by, because the gods are also afraid of getting into trouble." ”
Guan Qianjian said: "Now I have a kind of confidence: in three years, I will be the only person you want to kill but can't kill." ”
The old man snorted disdainfully: "Are you a ****** radical general? Then I will tell you, I am not a general, I am a king! Yes, no one can change my mind by any means." ”
Guan Qianjian said: "You misunderstood, there is a premise for my self-confidence, that is, you taught me martial arts for three years. ”
The old man suddenly became agitated, and scolded "Fart!" With his right hand stretched out, Guan Qianjian blinked his eyes, and the sword and sheath had changed hands.
Both froze: the sword was clearly in its sheath!
Guan Qianjian was slightly relieved, and his blood finally did not flow in vain.
But it is difficult to say whether this life will be saved, because this old man's mind is changing rapidly, and it is impossible to figure out.
When he focused his attention on the other party again, he found that the light in the old man's eyes had disappeared, his eyebrows were lowered, and his movements were slow, becoming a real old man.
I saw him step out of his right foot, turn half a circle in place, and slowly walk to the chair.
After he sat down, his left hand holding the sword hung down, his right hand rested on the armrest, and his eyes looked at the flowing river, as if he saw his own life.
After being stunned for a while, he turned his face to Guan Qianjian and said: "This sword is really not suitable for me, since I got it, my skills are not as good as day by day, but my heart is not controlled by myself, I am in anxiety all the time, and I can't get the peace of breathing." That's why you can fish it out in the pool. ”
"Ah, you threw it down?"
Guan Qianjian felt that the person in front of him had become a real old man, and even had a little kindness. So his heart was completely relaxed, and he spoke as if he were chatting with an ordinary neighbor, "You don't want to be influenced by it anymore,-ah, I know who you are, you-"
His eyes fell on the six big characters in the back mountain.
The old man hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop him, and said in a panic, "Don't say those words! His tone changed, and he raised his voice and said, "If you want to live longer, don't boast to anyone that you've seen so-and-so, you know?"
"Yes. Guan Qianjian's stern tone to him still lingered.
The old man said, "It's strange to say, this sword seems to have a special relationship with you. But I still don't believe you can handle it. This sword has all sorts of tricks just like us, maybe it's just a way to seduce you, and in the end, it's just to make people demonic. I wonder if you feel like you can't help yourself when you use it?"
Guan Qianjian said: "To be honest, the moment it came out of the sheath, I couldn't even help my mouth. But what exactly are the demons you are talking about? Are there really ghosts and gods in the world?"
The old man said: "I don't know about these things, don't ask me." Presumably you also know that this sword belongs to the Liurumen, the Liurumen has been passed down from generation to generation, and they are all in charge of the door master, and they are also admonished from generation to generation, if you use it to practice, boost your skills, even if you do it is okay, once you rely on it, you must be careful that the disaster is coming, as if it cannot be used as a sword, let alone against the enemy, otherwise in the situation that the enemy is strong and I am weak, it is bound to win with the help of the magic of the sword, and the result will cause confusion in people's hearts, and the nature will be lost, and there will be no recovery. ”
Guan Qianjian shook his head and said, "It's so suspenseful, I don't believe in evil. ”
The old man didn't care, smiled and said, "There is also a saying that Liurumen is in charge of this sword, not for the sake of treasures, but for a mission: to take care of it, so that it will not be taken by people with ill intentions - such as me - to bring harm to the world." But I don't think they are necessarily so great, take Zhuang Mengdie as an example, he is not that kind of person. But it would be more appropriate to say that they have a secret method that they can subdue and control. So it's better to return the thing to its original owner. If you are interested in it, you can worship under the Liurumen, and you will be their head in the future, isn't it justifiable to have it? The old man snorted tastelessly.
Guan Qianjian said: "The old man really looks up to me." Even if I am fortunate enough to worship under their door, why should I be their master?"
The old man looked at him with a sly look and said with a smile: "Aren't you confident that you can defeat me in three years? Why, it turns out that your self-confidence is fake? You must know whether the head of Liurumen is still my defeat, if you want to defeat me, being their head can only be regarded as the first step, and there is a long way to go, young man." ”
Guan Qian was accustomed to ridicule, and after listening to his words, he was ashamed, and said confidently: "What I said is to learn from you, and you can learn from others after three years, and it is very difficult to say that it is difficult to learn from others." "He's a very tactful shot.
The old man said: "Since you say so, let me ask you again, if I agree to your request and pass on your martial arts, after three years, if you can't defeat me, I will kill you, how can you dare to agree?"
Guan Qianjian was inexplicably excited: "Why don't you dare to do this? But the ugly words are ahead, you are not allowed to hide your secrets!"
The old man said, "Am I like such a small-bellied person?"
Guan Qianjian said: "No! You are definitely not that kind of person!
The old man looked up and laughed: "You think so beautifully, my old man is no longer promising, and it is impossible for him to do such a thing that does not grow up." You're dead to this heart. ”
Guan Qianjian said angrily: "You are fooling me! You are afraid that someone will surpass you, and you are afraid that you will taste failure!"
The old man said: "There are all kinds of flavors in the world, what kind of experience have I not experienced? Just these two words of failure really have nothing to do with me, and I can't ask for it." But to tell you the truth, you're not this material, so I can't waste my energy on you. ”
Hearing this assertion, Guan Qianjian was really heartbroken! He knew very well that the old man in front of him represented the highest level of martial arts, and there must be some basis for saying such words, and there would be no mistake in his vision.
But then he thought again, is it that my talent is really more than everyone else, so that I can't guess it with common sense, although Long Zaitian is a master, but after all, he is a mortal, and his eyesight is only enough to recognize mortal qualities?
Or is this old man simply jealous of my talent and deliberately derogatory, so that I can give up on myself?
In an instant, he had strong and strange feelings for the sword in the old man's hand, as if it was the only confidant in this world, only it could look up to him, and only through it could he regain his confidence and dignity. His eyes were blazing, and he fixed on the old man's left hand.
The old man shook his head imperceptibly and smiled helplessly, "I see greed in your eyes. I wanted to make a deal with you...... Alas!"
Guan Qianjian said disdainfully: "Except for swords and swordsmanship, I'm not interested in anything. ”
The old man shrugged his eyebrows, his eyes brightened a little, and said, "If you are asked to choose one of the two, what do you want?"
Guan Qianjian said: "I heard that people who practice martial arts can reach a state and break dry branches as swords, so as long as swordsmanship is superb, everything is a sword, inexhaustible, inexhaustible, how can I be obsessed with a sword, only see the trees, not the forest?"
The old man smiled and said, "That's a bit insightful. I'll tell you about our deal. ”
Guan Qianjian's spirit perked up, and he thought: The surnamed Long first asked me what I thought about swords and swordsmanship, and then finally decided, could this transaction also have something to do with both?
