Chapter 32: The Sword Maniac
"Do you have any money? I'm so hungry. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" After Shen Bing left, Mingliang asked Lu Li.
"You can't buy anything with money, this wilderness. Lu Li looked at the shadow left by Shen Bing in the sky, he didn't know where he was going and when he would come back, and he didn't leave a few words before leaving, it seemed that he only cared about that Shangguan Xiaohong.
"It's better to have money than no money, I don't have a child on me, I forgot to ask your master to keep some money just now, and I don't know when he will come back. Mingliang has always played the role of soy sauce, and at this time, Shen Bing and Xiaohong were not around, and he felt at a loss.
"Why don't we wait for him. Lu Li suggested.
"He told us to continue on our journey, let's go forward, maybe there is someone in front of us who can borrow a night. "Bright knows that if you wait here, you can only starve, and there will be at least a little hope to move forward.
"Alright then, let's go ahead and see. Lu Li couldn't see Shen Bing's back clearly, so he had to give up.
The moon and stars are scarce, the cool breeze is gusting, there is no one in the wilderness, there seems to be a wolf crying in the distance, Mingliang is not afraid, although the martial arts are not good, not even the beasts are afraid.
There is a long pavilion on the high slope in front of you, and you can climb the long pavilion and look around.
"Within ten miles, there is not even a single figure, and it seems that we can only starve. Bright sighed in disappointment.
"Otherwise, let's rest in this pavilion, and then we will hurry tomorrow, and maybe Master will come back." After Lu Li finished speaking, he walked up to the pavilion and found a clean place to sit down.
After a while, with the neighing of a horse, a man came in the distance. Fresh clothes and angry horses, very chic.
"Came back so soon. I must have brought something delicious!" Mingliang said excitedly as he stood up, feeling unlikely.
"Definitely not, you see that man is dressed in white, Master is not dressed like this. Besides, how can anyone come back so soon!" Lu Li looked at the white horse in the distance, and the night was so white that it was shining. The man came to the pavilion on horseback with a long sword, and he was a swordsman.
"Do you know how to do martial arts?" said the man proudly on his horse.
Mingliang thought he was a psychopath, how could he ask someone to compete as soon as they met, so he didn't pay attention to him, but looking at the burden on the horse, he aroused his appetite again, needless to say, so bulging, there must be something to eat.
"What do you want to compare?" asked Mingming.
"Of course it's a sword competition, so you know how to do martial arts?" the man happily dismounted and flashed his sword, a cold light radiating from the blade.
"It's okay to compete with swords, but now I'm hungry and I have to eat enough to show my strength. Bright said as he looked at the man's baggage.
"Then you eat first, I'll wait for you!" The man approached and looked bright, fat is fat, but no one said that fat people don't know martial arts.
"I don't have anything to eat, do you have one?" said Mingming, looking at the man's baggage.
"I see, then you can eat mine first. After the man finished speaking, he opened his baggage and threw some dry food for Mingming, who took it, gave some to Lu Li, and devoured it. After eating, he wiped his mouth and burped happily.
"You're done, let's start the competition!" the man raised his sword to Mingming, as if he was very excited.
"Wait, don't make a move, I'm not ready. Mingliang raised his hand to signal him not to make a move.
"Still preparing?" the man asked in surprise.
"I don't have a sword yet, how can I compare a sword!" Bright Bright had an idea, thinking to himself in this wilderness, where to find a sword, now I can avoid the competition.
The man hesitated, thinking that this was a problem, and that he would have to bring two swords in the future, and if he met someone who did not have one, he could lend him one. He glanced at Lu Li and said with a smile: "This girl has a sword, you can borrow it and use it." ”
Mingliang just wanted to shirk this competition, but he didn't expect that person to be quite serious, so he had to compete, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Wait a minute, which of you two is more powerful? Whoever is powerful is better than me, and I don't compete with those who are not strong. The man saw that there were two people in the pavilion, as if they were together.
Mingliang couldn't help but sigh that this benevolent brother was really an empathetic master, and his principles were set well, and all problems were solved for him. He pointed to Lu Li, which means that she has high martial arts.
"I don't compare you to you. Lu Li ate the man's dry food, but he didn't appreciate it, did he have to compete if he ate it?
"Why? You carry a sword with you, isn't it just for jousting with others?" the man said eloquently, as if he who wielded a sword had to compete with others.
"Who said that if you bring a sword, you have to compete with others?" Lu Li felt that this person was simply inexplicable.
"But when you eat my dry food, don't you say that you have to be full?"
"The person who said that he was full and compared to you was him, not me!" Lu Li pointed to Mingming, and Mingliang pouted.
"You are together, everyone is the same, you can compare first!" The man was afraid that she would refuse, so he gave up his principles and chose to compromise, as if he couldn't sleep without a competition today.
"Wait a minute, I remembered, there were three of us, and the other person is even more powerful, you can just compare with him!" Mingliang said.
"Where the other person is, call him out!" The man was very excited when he heard that there was a powerful person.
"He's got something going on and he's coming back tomorrow. "Bright pretended to be sorry.
"Then you should compete first!" the man seemed to refuse to give up without trying.
"Actually, I don't know martial arts!" Mingliang quickly lied.
"What? You don't know martial arts, so you lied to me! Eat my dry food, and don't compare with me!" The man knew that he had been fooled, and was very angry, and drew the sword that had just been put back in the scabbard.
"Calm down, don't draw your sword at every turn, I'll ask you a question. Mingliang said.
"You've wasted so much of my time anyway, just ask. The man was very disappointed to see that Mingliang didn't know martial arts.
"Why do you have to compete when you see someone?" asked Mingming.
"Two people who don't know each other, what else can they do if they meet and don't compete?" the man said as a matter of course.
Bright was speechless in the face of his answer.
"Well, today is no comparison, I'll wait with you for that powerful man to come back!" the man said, tied his horse, and went into the pavilion and sat down.
It turned out that this person's name was Ding Jian, who came from the south, and by chance in his early years, he followed a master from outside the world to learn swordsmanship for a few days, because he was quite talented, he quickly learned a set of swordsmanship, called Whirlwind Swordsmanship. After the master drifted away, Ding Jian became obsessed with swordsmanship from then on. Studying day and night, he deepened his love for swordsmanship, and he even found indescribable beauty in swordsmanship. Without the guidance of a master, the improvement of swordsmanship has become slow, so he decided to walk the rivers and lakes and find people to compete in martial arts to inspire him, and maybe he can go to the next level. At this time, he has been wandering the rivers and lakes for several years, and has tried many games, and has never failed. This made him feel anxious, so he asked people to compete more frequently, and finally even met people, hoping to meet a swordsman who was better than him as soon as possible.
However, it backfired, and all he made appointments with swordsmen he met on the road, and there were no masters.
"You make an appointment when you see someone, so it's difficult to meet a master, and a real master won't be willing to compete with you when he sees you. Mingliang said.
"What then? I don't know who the master is, and there is no writing on the master's face. Ding Jian was extremely helpless.
"You've been walking the rivers and lakes for so long, haven't you heard of who is a master?" asked Mingming.
"I've heard a few of them, but I don't know where they are, I'm looking for them. Ding Jian replied truthfully.
"Tell me, who are they?" Mingliang thought this person was a little interesting.
"There is an ethereal faction in the east, the head of the sect Mr. Void seems to be very powerful, but now that he is old, he rarely appears, and other people in the ethereal faction have not heard of it being very powerful, there is a phantom mountain in the south, the phantom spirit sect leader's phantom sword method is superb, and there are four major protectors in the sect, the bloodthirsty person specializes in drinking human blood, Luo Jia can do the doppelganger technique, the exorcist will absorb people's true qi, and the phantom assassin can absorb the breath of the necromancy. The two of them were unheard of by Ding Jian, and they were amazed.
"It seems that you know quite a lot, they seem to be very powerful people, why don't you just go to them and compete?" Mingliang was curious about why he took a detour.
"Phantom Mountain is too evil, they don't let me go up the mountain, and besides, those people don't use swords, it's not my goal of competition. I am also principled, and I only compete with those who wield swords. I want to go to the Ethereal Pie right now. Ding Jian looked to the east, but he couldn't see the slightest shadow of the ethereal peak.
"Tell me the story of Phantom Mountain. Mingliang said.
"I grew up in Nanshan and know a little more about things in the south. The Phantom Sect mainly wants to dominate the rivers and lakes, and it is said that the Phantom Soul Sword Method is superb, as for how powerful it is, I haven't seen it, and he hasn't made a move for a long time. Bloodthirsty people originally did not drink human blood, a few years ago, he was ordered by the sect master to investigate the Cold Ice Palace, I don't know how to get poisoned by the cold, he can only drink human blood to resist the cold. Luo Jia can use illusions, especially the clone technique, to divide into dozens of people to attack the target at once, but the target does not know which one is real. The ability of an exorcist is to suck people's true qi, and once he sucks it, no matter how powerful a person is, his true qi will exhaust and die. Every time a Phantom Assassin kills someone, he absorbs a portion of that person's power for his own use. Ding Jian said.
"It's so amazing, listen to you, that phantom assassin can easily become the best in the world, as long as he keeps killing. Mingliang couldn't help but sigh that there is such a thing in the world.
"Not everyone thinks the same way, it is said that the Phantom Assassin once killed his own child by mistake because of his madness, and then he rarely absorbed the Necromancy, maybe as a punishment, maybe for redemption, I don't know. Ding Jian said slowly.
