Chapter 24: Seeking Victory and Asking the Sword
July 18, sunny, tomorrow in the east. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Early in the morning, slightly cold.
Lu Xiaofeng had already gotten up very early, Tianshui Villa was not luxurious and rich, and the bed was not too good, he was not used to sleeping, so he got up earlier than usual, but he was not the first to get up, when he walked out of the room and came to the garden, he saw Chu Feng already standing in the garden.
There were countless flowers and green grass in the garden, and Chu Feng stood quietly in the garden, even his eyes were closed. Lu Xiaofeng walked over towards Chu Feng, and he sighed softly: "I originally thought that I could witness your swordsmanship with my own eyes, but now it seems that there is no such fate. ”
Chu Feng still closed his eyes, but he had already spoken: "Since I fought with the Overlord Spear King Wanwu three years ago, my sword has never been unsheathed on a dead thing. ”
Lu Xiaofeng smiled curiously: "So since the battle three years ago, you have rarely practiced swords?"
Chu Feng opened his eyes and glanced at Lu Xiaofeng, he said: "You are wrong, I have stopped practicing swords all the time in the past three years, it's just that my sword is just not a sword for dead things, but are the living creatures in the heavens and the earth just people in your eyes?"
Lu Xiaofeng didn't move, he knew that the sword wasn't hitting him.
The sword arced gracefully and swiftly through the air, and the sword was unsheathed.
The moment before the sword was returned to the sheath, Lu Xiaofeng's face had changed drastically, he stretched out his hand in the air, and then looked down at the fly in his hand, and sighed lightly: "Your swordsmanship has indeed reached the status of being superb, and you can cut off one of his calves in an instant, and there are not many people in the world who have your swordsmanship." ”
Chu Feng didn't have the slightest smug look, he just said lightly: "If you use such a sword technique to face Ximen Blowing Snow, it is not enough, and it is not enough to face the Purple Marquis. ”
Lu Xiaofeng frowned, he didn't deny it, but asked, "So this is not the sword technique you usually practice?"
Chu Feng said lightly: "If I have been cultivating this kind of swordsmanship, then my swordsmanship cultivation has already stopped three years ago, and maybe I would not have been able to defeat Wang Wanwu's Overlord Spear back then." You should know that you can practice swords without swords other than swinging swords. ”
Ordinary people may be confused if they hear this, but Lu Xiaofeng didn't, he just calmed down and his face suddenly became very solemn again, he glared at Chu Feng, looked at Chu Feng respectfully like a student asking for advice, and said, "Please advise." ”
"The biggest difference between humans and animals is that wisdom lies in thought, and the confrontation between warriors and warriors is not entirely based on skill, but also on the brain. ”
Lu Xiaofeng nodded, he couldn't help but admit this, unless a few stupid people in the world can defeat their opponents with one force and ten guilds, most of the top masters in the world today are not only fighting for strength but also fighting for wisdom.
At the moment of sword confrontation, the body and mind will also undergo drastic changes at the moment of confrontation, and at that moment, even the person himself does not know what kind of move will be used in the next move, that move is the most essential part of the martial arts confrontation, and it is also the most addictive part of all martial artists throughout the ages.
Chu Feng's expression was still indifferent and calm, "The battle between martial artists is like this, and the same is true for sword practice, sometimes when you swing your sword to a peak state that you can't break through yourself, you should stop and stop swinging your sword, but think about how to use your sword." ”
"How to use a sword?"
"Yes. Chu Feng said: "Use your thoughts, look for changes and flaws in your swordsmanship in your thoughts, and find a way that best matches you." He pondered for a moment and said: "And this method is very rare, only when a person's body is greatly tortured, the mind and spirit will appear extremely sharp, only at this time to practice swordsmanship, can you get twice the result with half the effort." ”
Lu Xiaofeng's face became more solemn and respectful, he looked at the undisguised respect in Chu Feng's eyes, and he sighed softly: "I seem to understand a little bit now why you can win in many great battles in the martial arts, there are indeed few people in heaven and earth who practice swordsmanship like you, if people like you can't make a name for themselves in the martial arts, there don't seem to be a few people in the sky who are worthy of being famous in the martial arts." ”
Chu Feng smiled, but he didn't know whether it was a sneer but a smug smile.
He glanced at Lu Xiaofeng coldly and said, "I know you're thinking, people like me should be disdainful of being famous, but they are famous again and again in the rivers and lakes." ”
Lu Xiaofeng did not deny that he was indeed thinking so in his heart.
Chu Feng didn't give an answer to this matter immediately, he just looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said, "Do you know why I want to fight with the Purple Yi Hou?"
Lu Xiaofeng knew it, but he didn't know it very well, he said honestly: "At least I know that you are not here to win." ”
Chu Feng smiled faintly and gave an answer that surprised Lu Xiaofeng, and he said, "This time you are wrong again, I am willing to fight with the Purple Yi Hou just to win." ”
Lu Xiaofeng was stunned.
Chu Feng was still calm and casual, he looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said lightly: "If you don't win, how can you fight, if you don't fight, how can you ask about the sword, how can you ask about the sword, heroes and heroes throughout the ages, how many people do you think can decipher the word competitiveness?"
Lu Xiaofeng was silent, and he was silent again.
If you don't win, how can you ask the sword? If you don't ask the sword, how can you reach the pinnacle of the sword? If you don't ask the sword, you can only get to the top of the sword? Competitiveness and sword asking go hand in hand, this Lu Xiaofeng didn't think about it before, and now that Chu Feng said this, he couldn't disagree.
Chu Feng was already indifferent, and he said: "I am willing to fight with the Purple Marquis just because I am competitive, and the Purple Marquis is willing to fight with me because he is competitive, but also because he asks for a sword, it is precisely because he is competitive, so the two of us have long forgotten about life and death before this battle, and for people like us, the sword is much more important than life and death." ”
"I don't want to admit it, but now I can't find a reason to refute you. ”
Chu Feng looked at Lu Xiaofeng, an almost fantastical light suddenly flashed in his eyes, he looked at Lu Xiaofeng and said word by word: "Do you know what I wanted to do when I first saw you?"
Lu Xiaofeng said without thinking: "If you want to draw your sword, you must want to see if my Lingxi finger can hold your sword." ”
Chu Feng nodded, "Yes, I think the same way now, but no matter what, my idea must be suppressed, because what I am facing next is one of the most mysterious swordsmen in the rivers and lakes so far, the Purple Yi Hou, so I can't waste my physical strength, a point of spirit, a point of battle spirit, these don't seem to have much impact, but in fact, they are very likely to determine the victory or defeat of me and the Purple Yi Hou, or even life and death." ”
After he said this, he left, without looking at Lu Xiaofeng again.
Lu Xiaofeng quietly looked at the scenery in the garden, and left for a while, just now he wanted to ask about the sword outside the sky, but looking at Chu Feng's mood, no matter what he asked, he would not get an answer, now Chu Feng's eyes are not only the sword and the purple-clothed marquis.
It's just that he felt a little strange, he found that Chu Feng seemed to leave in a hurry, and his face was a little pale.
The purple-clothed marquis is already old, but his sword is not old yet.
A magnificent sword with a magnificent scabbard. The sword in its scabbard was a sword. A sword that is superior in terms of material, craftsmanship, and casting, and it is said that the person who cast this sword is a descendant of Master Ou Yezi.
Murong Qiudi pushed Li Guanyu in a wheelchair and was looking at the lilac sword hanging on the wall, he sighed lightly The sword in the scabbard actually made a crisp and grand sound like a dragon's groan.
He looked back at the purple-clothed marquis who was wearing a high crown and had a noble and elegant temperament, and asked, "This sword is the phoenix tail you used to defeat the man in white twenty years ago?"
The purple-clothed marquis nodded, he looked at the sword, a flash of remembrance flashed in his eyes, and he sighed softly: "Yes, the battle twenty years ago can be regarded as the most thrilling battle in my life, and it is also the only decisive battle I almost lost, I defeated the man in white in that battle, but I can't help but admit that the man in white almost defeated me." ”
The battle between the purple-clothed marquis and the white-clothed man has been circulated by the rivers and lakes to this day, and it is known as a rare sword duel in the past 50 years.
Li Guanyu looked at this murderous and restrained sword, and said slowly in a deep voice: "This sword defeated the man in white, and there is no one in the world who deserves you to use this sword, I remember you once said this." ”
The purple-clothed marquis smiled elegantly, he stretched out his hand, and the sword hanging on the wall had already fallen into his hand, and he said lightly: "So far, this sword has not been unsheathed for twenty years, and this sword will not be easily unsheathed, and now it has only reached the point where he can't unsheath it." ”
When the sword is unsheathed, there is blood.
Who gets the blood? Purple Marquis's? Chu Feng's? This is something that Purple Yihou doesn't know, Chu Feng doesn't know, no one knows.
Li Guanyu looked at the Purple Yi Hou, he only knew that tomorrow would be the peak duel between the two current swordsmen, the Zi Yi Hou and Chu Feng, and there would definitely be no life and death absolutes to keep their hands, and there might be a possibility that both of them would die under each other's swords in this duel.
He stared at the sword in Ziyihou's hand, and after a long, long time, he said slowly: "I have prepared a jar of wine, whether it is life or death." ”
The purple-clothed marquis didn't speak, he looked up into the distance.
The sun was rising in the east and the sun was shining, but he was already dying like a remnant sun, gradually twilight.
But there was still light in his eyes, sword light.
――If a person does not die, the sword intent will not be extinguished.
