Chapter 7: The Sword

Previous Chapter

Fifth South Mountain.

One of the three supreme masters of the royal family, the tenth on the Tianji list, and the commander of the Jinyi Guard.

Since Emperor Wu, the Dahao royal family has attached great importance to the cultivation of top masters, and has done its best to make a country, and up to now, there have been remarkable results.

Tianji Pavilion evaluates the world's martial arts powerhouses, and the top ten are determined by the Tianji list, and the Dahao royal family occupies three seats:

The Zhidao Leng Feng who quietly disappeared beside the Emperor of the Zhao family, Liu Poyu, the acting prince who joined the army to break the Hu people, and the fifth Nanshan of Jinyiwei at the end of the Tianji list.

There are six people in the Tianji list who have won the top Dao, Leng Feng ranks sixth, and he is also the only one in the royal family who is a master of the Dao, and Liu Poyu, the acting prince of the country, ranks ninth on the Tianji list, and the fifth is the tenth in Nanshan.

A certain old man in the rivers and lakes said sourly: I didn't expect the Zhao family to be able to cultivate people on the Heavenly Machine.

From the Hongwu bloody massacre at the beginning of the founding of the country to the current three top masters, after many years, the royal family finally has a martial arts powerhouse that is not inferior to any Jianghu power.

......

Now, Su Bingnan has seen the Fifth Nanshan again.

The tall ones are still tall, and the filthy ones are always dirty.

As a commander and the tenth strongest man in the world, the fifth Nanshan always has some capricious privileges, such as opening up a "back garden" in the Jinyi Guard. The "back garden", a place with a very different style of Jinyiwei, is actually an open space, and the fifth Nanshan is specially zoned for itself.

Jinyiwei is adjacent to the six departments of the center, out of the Forbidden City Chengtianmen is this area, every inch of land is far from measuring its value, if it is not for the special of the fifth South Mountain, no one dares to open up a vacant land in the center office.

This clearing is not large, but there is a towering ancient tree erected on the ground, with lush branches and leaves, and you have to tilt your neck to see the top of the tree.

Next to the ancient tree, there is a regular stone table, boxy, straight lines, and four stone chairs on all sides.

The small open space is next to the office of the Fifth South Mountain, and when you open the door, it leads directly to here.

Su Bingnan saw the tall figure at first sight, Yue Zhiyuan, his legs rooted in the earth, his back to him, looking at the ancient tree.

Between heaven and earth, there was nothing else in Su Bingnan's eyes, only the back of this person.

In a trance, Su Bingnan saw a knife. It is longer than a single knife, shorter than a long sword, with a thick back and a thin blade like a razor, and the arc of the blade forms a fierce momentum, pointing to the sky.

This is an embroidered spring knife.

Embroidered clothes are in the spring, like a piece of clear ice out of ten thousand gullies.

A desperate momentum came towards Su Bingnan, and the embroidered spring knife seemed to split the mountains and mountains, tearing the sky, without a trace of fireworks, and fell fiercely towards Su Bingnan's head from top to bottom with the momentum of Mount Tai.

"Good knives. Su Bingnan said with a smile.

The transcendent knife suddenly froze, not more than a fraction of a distance from the top of his head, but he never allowed an inch.

The next moment, the illusion was shattered.

Su Bingnan saw the Fifth Nanshan who had already turned around, and gently touched the long handle of the unsheathed embroidered spring knife.

In just a moment, the two had already started a confrontation on the spiritual level.

"Good sword. Fifth Nanshan said, pointing to the stone table on the side: "Sit down and talk." ”

Su Bingnan and the Fifth Nanshan sat opposite each other, and said with a smile: "The commander's sword is really sharp, I'm afraid I will step into the Supreme Dao in the near future." ”

The fifth Nanshan put the embroidered spring knife in front of the stone table, pulled out a section, revealed a cold light, and said: "If I hadn't seen you today, I wouldn't have known that you actually realized the meaning of not being bad, and the twenty-two-year-old is not bad, it should really be Su Bingnan." ”

Su Bingnan seemed to be trying his best to suppress his pride, the corners of his mouth curled up, and said: "The commander is falsely praised, I just have a little insignificant achievement, far from being compared with the commander of the adult, I don't know how old the commander is to step into a bad situation?"

Fifth Nanshan looked at Su Bingnan's expression, the corners of his eyes jumped, he took out the embroidered spring knife, and said with a smile: "Yes, let me teach you how to do it, do you know what a knife is?"

Suddenly, the embroidered spring knife in front of Su Bingnan's eyes was filled with silver light, each of which was the brilliance of life-seeking, and the momentum of a thousand jun pressed towards Su Bingnan, making his breathing stop suddenly.

Sweat flowed out desperately, and in just ten breaths, Su Bingnan was soaked, as if he had been scooped up in water.

This is a contest at the spiritual level, with the realm of the peak of the Fifth Nanshan Heavenly and Human Realm, it is natural to suppress Su Bingnan without any suspense.

Su Bingnan laughed and said, "I think the commander is a knife now." ”

A sword intent kept jumping, even if it was very small compared to the grandeur of the Fifth South Mountain, but it was always resisting and struggling.

"Wrong. The fifth Nanshan picked up the embroidered spring knife on the table and said resolutely: "I am not a knife now, a knife, it is me." ”

The countless swords in front of Su Bingnan's eyes instantly became one, turning into a sword intent that stood in heaven and earth, and pressed towards his sword intent fiercely.

"It turns out that this is the strength of the commander, and it is really strong. Su Bingnan's forehead was covered with sweat drops, but his tone was not chaotic at all, and he said clearly: "No wonder it is said that it is not bad, heaven and man value gods, and they are all mysterious, but they are all the principles of the Tao." ”

In the current competition, there is a huge gap between Su Bingnan and the Fifth Nanshan, but it has never been completely suppressed, and that little bit of sword intent may be annihilated at any time, but it is constantly gaining a firm foothold.

In the past, Su Bingnan only touched the skin of the meaning of not bad, relying on groping, fighting, and Peng Cheng to gain an in-depth understanding of it, and in a hurry, it was inevitable to be in a hurry in the face of the will oppression of the Fifth Nanshan.

Once he stabilized his mind, Su Bingnan knew the obstacle that he had been thinking about for a long time, and only in this situation could he have the tenth place on the Heavenly Machine List as his sharpening sword.

"Sword?" Fifth Nanshan sneered, feeling Su Bingnan's tenacious and undying sword intent: "What kind of sword do you know." ”

Su Bingnan sighed and looked up at the frowning appearance of the Fifth Nanshan.

"yes, I really don't understand the sword. Su Bingnan said: "When I was eighteen years old, I kept thinking about what a sword is. ”

"The sword has a double-edged body and a straight head, which can hurt people horizontally and vertically, and pierces through the armor. Dangerous and abnormal, born to kill. ”

"It's a sword. ”

"Short soldiers and white blades, the king of a hundred soldiers, the people of the three-foot land are all enemies, and the Buddha and demons of the land of one foot are retreating. ”

"It's a sword. ”

"The 'nameless' in my hand is a sword, and the Qingfeng that ordinary people admire is also a sword. In my opinion, an iron blade and a sword hilt are also swords, and even a willow leaf and a flying flower can also be a sword. Commander, can you tell me what a sword is?"

The fifth Nanshan was silent and fell into thought.

"Just now, I finally understood one thing. Su Bingnan said.

Fifth, Nanshan looked at each other.

"If the flying flower can be a sword, why can't a sword be a sword?"

"Perhaps, a sword is a sword. ”

The sword intent skyrocketed.

It grew rapidly under the oppression of the Fifth South Mountain, like a seed growing into a seedling in an instant, and then into a towering giant tree, and the wind that had so nearly caused it to pass away could no longer threaten him in the slightest.

Fifth Nanshan's face changed abruptly, and the embroidered spring knife in his hand trembled, and then pointed to Su Bingnan.

"Commander, Shu Jiayou and I had some words yesterday. Su Bingnan said to the Fifth Nanshan, as if the blade facing him did not exist.

The embroidered spring knife was slowly withdrawn, and into the sheath, the momentum of the fifth Nanshan was like a tiger choosing someone to devour, and he frowned and said: "You don't need to call me a commander, although you and I are nominally superiors and subordinates, I can't control you." ”

Su Bingnan nodded and said, "I know, doesn't the commander want to know what Shu Jiayou said to me?"

The fifth Nanshan was expressionless, did not say a word, and went all out to launch a confrontation of wills and suppress Su Bingnan.

Su Bingnan retold Shu Jiayou's words to the Fifth Nanshan, and sighed: "I can't imagine such twists and turns in the past, but you also know that after all, it's been twenty-two years, and the past is over after all." ”

After listening to Su Bingnan's words, Fifth Nanshan pointed to the towering ancient tree on his side and said, "Do you know what kind of tree this is?"

Su Bingnan nodded and said, "Ginkgo biloba." ”

The fifth Nanshan said: "This tree has a history of more than 400 years, the former dynasty of the Great Chu Rong King is in today's capital, which was once the land of the palace, this ginkgo tree is said to be planted by King Rong himself." ”

Su Bingnan looked at the ancient tree that the five people couldn't hug yet, and waited for the next step of the Fifth South Mountain.

"Looking at the ginkgo fruit on the branches, it is hard for me to imagine that the green ginkgo biloba in front of me has witnessed the rise and fall of the world for more than 400 years. The change of dynasties, the smoke and the flames of war, in its eyes, are just a piece of past history, and a person's life to death is only a short stay. ”

Su Bingnan had heard that as soon as the Fifth Nanshan knew the historical origin of this tree, he insisted on opening up a vacant space around the ancient tree, even if there was an impeachment of the imperial history, he did not waver, and even replied to the other party: "Get out of the way, go home and feed your lady and then meddle in your affairs." ”

The affair between Mrs. Yushi and the groom was made public by Jinyiwei, and the green on the top of the unlucky Yushi's head was like the green of an ancient tree, which could no longer be washed away.

For the sake of this tree, the Fifth Nanshan has been neglected since then, and even the emperor has some opinions about him, and he has always been the commander of the Jinyi Guard step by step over the years, and there is no progress in his official position.

"The Commander means ......"

The fifth Nanshan said: "Life is rare for a hundred years, and the Tao is only one hundred and sixty years, far less than this tree." You are still very young, and you look forward to the future, but after I have passed the year of knowing the destiny of heaven, what I see is the past. When you reach my age, you will naturally have this state of mind, and for you at that time, the state of mind of a teenager is just similar to your own past. ”

Su Bingnan frowned for the first time and said, "What does the commander mean?"

Fifth Nanshan stared at Su Bingnan's eyes and said, "Under the power of time, everything is in the past, and the most difficult thing since ancient times is immortality, don't you want to live forever?"

Su Bingnan immediately laughed and said, "Don't laugh at the command. ”

Fifth Nanshan said: "If you help me, we can be friends." ”

"Friend?" Su Bingnan shook his head and smiled: "If there is really immortality, then I am afraid we will be husband and wife." ”

Fifth, Nanshan looked at Su Bingnan, who was not in the oil and salt, and knew that the other party was unwavering. His sword intent was still the same, and he gave an eviction order: "When you figure it out, come and tell me again, and I won't send it far." ”

Su Bingnan got up, strode away, patted "Nameless" halfway, pulled out the long sword, and a rainbow sword was inserted into the clouds, and the moment he flicked his fingers, he actually overwhelmed the boundless sword momentum of the Fifth Nanshan.

The pupils of the fifth Nanshan shrank suddenly, and he looked at Su Bingnan, whose sword had been sheathed, and was silent for a long time.

A magnificent sword light flashed in the clearing in an instant.

Soon after, countless exclamations came from the Jinyi guard: "How is it possible, the ginkgo tree has fallen!"
