This person is the head of the Mingshan Sword Sect, the commander of Qin. I saw that he was still wearing a brown coat and a long figure, and at this time he was not wearing the strange triangular hat, revealing his bare head.

Xuanwu Ming didn't recognize him, so he arched his hand and said: "The Thousand Crane North Protector Xuanwu Ming wants to pay a visit to Mingshan Dajian, the head of the Mingshan Sword Sect." ”

Commander Qin looked Xuanwu Ming up and down, obviously full of vigilance against him: "The Northern Protector made a surprise visit late at night, uninvited, didn't he rely on the name of a thousand cranes to spy on our Mingshan Sword Gate!"

Xuanwu said: "Your Excellency is the Mingshan Great Sword?"

Qin Commander said: "The head of my family is now in retreat and cultivating, and he doesn't see outsiders. ”

Xuanwu said: "Dare to ask Your Excellency who is ......"

"In Xia Nai, the head of affairs of the Sword Gate of Ming Mountain, Qin Peng. ”

Xuanwu Ming arched his hand and said, "It turns out that Your Excellency is the commander of the Qi Gathering Sword Qin Pengqin. ”

Commander Qin said: "The Northern Protector really knows a lot about the affairs of the rivers and lakes, and even remembers the name of someone Qin who has not appeared in the rivers and lakes for more than ten years. ”

Xuanwu said: "Commander Qin has learned the four categories of swordsmanship of 'light, heavy, fast, and slow', which is a very rare achievement in the Mingshan Sword Sect, and the former head of Mingshan has therefore taught one of the three sets of swordsmanship that only the head can practice' 'Qi Gathering Sword Technique', so Qin Commander is the first Mingshan disciple in the history of Mingshan Sword Gate who is not the head of the sect but can 'gather qi swordsmanship'. ”

Commander Qin's eyes narrowed, and he said, "I only found out today that Qianhe has been spying on the Mingshan Sword Gate!"

Xuanwu said: "The family teacher is not talented, and he founded a thousand cranes, and when he talks about the heroes of the world, he can't help but express his deep admiration for the swordsmanship of the origin of Mingshan. What's more, the family master had several acquaintances with the former head of your faction, Dajian, and it seems that there is no need to snoop on these things if you want to know about them. ”

Commander Qin's face turned white, and he said, "The Northern Protector knows that my family's head of the Great Sword is in retreat and cultivates, and he still came uninvited late at night, didn't he mean to peep!"

Xuanwu said: "When the family master heard that the Mingshan Great Sword was in retreat and cultivated, he specially prepared a rare Tianshan seven-colored snow lotus, and ordered me to come and present it to the Mingshan Great Sword in person. ”

Qin Commander said: "Okay, you leave Snow Lotus behind, and I will send someone to send you out of the Sword Gate and go back to restore your life." ”

Xuanwu said: "This Tianshan seven-colored snow lotus is very rare, and the family teacher told me to personally hand over the Mingshan Great Sword before leaving. ”

Commander Qin said: "I have already said that the head of the Great Sword is in retreat and cultivation, and it is inconvenient to meet foreign guests, so Your Excellency should go back early to resume his life." ”

Xuanwu said: "There is an uninvited self-question, before Mingshan Dajian took over as the head of the house, he had learned all the three sets of Mingshan master swordsmanship, I don't know what kind of martial arts the head of the big sword is practicing in retreat now?"

Commander Qin was furious and said, "I respect you as the protector of the Thousand Cranes, it turns out that you are still going around for the sake of our sect's martial arts, how can these sect secrets be told to you as an outsider." ”

Xuanwu Ming looked at his angry eyes, and said word by word: "Isn't the big sword of the head of the sect not in the sword gate now?"

Hearing this, a hint of imperceptibility flashed across Commander Qin's face, and he suddenly asked an irrelevant question: "Northern Protector, who has higher martial arts than you and Southern Protector Vermilion Bird?"

Xuanwu Ming didn't expect the other party to ask such a question, but he still said: "I and Ah Yan have learned differently, and each is good at winning. ”

Commander Qin pointed at Xuanwu Ming and said, "Let's have a competition, if you win, I'll tell you what you want to know." ”

Xuanwu Ming smiled dumbly, and said, "Commander Qin, isn't he joking? ”

Commander Qin sneered, "If I give the order now, the people of the Sword Sect will definitely not let the trespassers leave easily." ”

Xuanwu Ming didn't know what medicine was sold in Qin's Commander Gourd, but he was a master of art and boldness, so he said, "If I can bargain for a move and a half, can the Commander tell the head of the Great Sword where it goes?"

Commander Qin said: "Then it depends on whether you can have this ability!

Xuanwu Ming shook his head and said, "I don't have a weapon with me, so let me comprehend the power of the Qi Gathering Sword with my bare hands." ”

Qin Peng seemed to be very disgusted by the words "bare hands", and shouted angrily: "Please take care of yourself, don't blame me!"

As soon as the words fell, the long sword in his hand was unsheathed, and the sword was like a silver poisonous snake spitting letters, and four sword flowers were stabbed out in a row.

The Qi Gathering Sword is not a sword spectrum, but a martial arts method, which can integrate the four major types of sword styles. Although the twenty-eight sets of sword scores of light, heavy, fast and slow have their own strengths, they are in conflict with each other, and ordinary disciples just choose the sword scores that suit them to study, while disciples like Qin Peng, who are talented and diligent in studying hard, will learn all the twenty-eight sets of sword scores. However, after learning, he was bound by the restraint between the sword removal styles, but he knew more than other disciples, but he could not exert the power that the combination of different sword styles should have. Originally, only the head of the twenty-eight sets of sword books needed to learn all of them, and only the head was qualified to learn the qi gathering sword of the three major sword masters from the previous head to exert the power of the twenty-eight sets of sword combinations. Therefore, Qin Peng was not qualified to learn the Qi Gathering Sword. However, in an unexpected incident, the previous head of the Great Sword made an exception and taught Qin Peng the Qi Gathering Sword of the three major master swordsmanship, which made Qin Peng the first person in the history of the Sword Gate who was not the head but learned the Qi Gathering Sword.

Xuanwu saw that the four sword flowers were either ethereal and agile, or majestic, or as fast as lightning, or stable and attacking, and couldn't help but secretly shout "good" in his heart. He had already been lucky, and at this time, his true qi was already surging, he raised his right arm, and his right hand, which was originally clenched into a fist, suddenly opened, and a burst of true qi erupted, making Qin Peng's sword momentum blocked. In addition to being blocked by Xuanwu Ming's true qi, Qin Peng's sword momentum was blocked because he was afraid in his heart, and he was extremely wary of "bare hands", and the psychological reason was an important reason for him to stagnate.

Qin Peng said in his heart: Qin Peng, Qin Peng, isn't it because you have practiced the Qi Gathering Sword hard to compete with the Dharma Protector of Qianhe again, even if they play any tricks, you will be ashamed.

Thinking of this, Qin Peng put away his previous psychological baggage, concentrated his energy, and exerted greater power in the Qi Gathering Sword. The tables and chairs in the room "clanged" under the drive of the sword qi. Xuanwu Ming saw that he seemed to have some doubts in his heart, so his sword momentum was blocked. In Xuanwu Ming's opinion, Qin Peng's Qi Gathering Sword could indeed be described as perfect, and the true qi he had just now was just a prelude to his move, and there was no need for him to be affected by it at all. However, Xuanwu Ming has been baptized for a long time, no matter whether Qin Peng's defensive sword is blocked, or he unloads his burden and makes a move with all his heart, Xuanwu Ming will deal with it calmly, neither complacent because of the opportunity to seize the lead, nor be controlled by others because of fear, and he is really a master. I saw him facing the sword with his fingertips, avoiding the blade and attacking only the sword body. The five fingers were like five swords, not only defusing Qin Peng's wave after wave of attacks, but also counterattacking Qin Peng with "fingers" in the seams.

Qin Peng was furious, jumped out of the circle, and shouted: "Northern Protector, aren't you teasing!"

Xuanwu Ming did not pursue, but also took the offensive, and said: "It is inevitable that there will be mistakes in the competition, especially in the face of a master like Commander Qin, how dare you tease in your heart." However, Qianhe really had no intention of confronting the Mingshan Sword Gate, and hoped that it would be convenient for the Qin Commander, and it would be better to return to the division in the next place. ”

Qin Peng said: "If you weren't teasing, why did you only use a few fingers to fight me, could it be that you looked down on the Mingshan Qi Gathering Sword?"

Xuanwu said: "The Qi Gathering Sword is the supreme martial arts of Mingshan, and it is just admired in my heart. But Commander Qin, have you ever heard of Puzhu Martial Arts 'Everything is like a sword'?"

Qin Peng's heart was shocked, and he couldn't help but exclaim: "Puzhu Zhenren's 'Everything is Like a Sword' actually has a successor!"

Puzhu Zhenren's "Everything is Like a Sword" and his younger brother Qianhe Zhenren's "Sword Everything" are two treasures in the martial arts. "Everything is like a sword" in layman's terms, it means that you can use everything around you as a sword, and its highest state is to use your body as a sword. For top masters, every grass and leaf around them can become a weapon, so many peerless martial arts are more or less involved in this aspect, and the one who has achieved the ultimate is Puzhu Zhenren. In his eyes, the grass is Mo Xie, the wood is the cadre, and the most powerful thing is his body, which can be turned into a thousand sharp blades to block and kill the gods, and the Buddha can block and kill the Buddha. Puzhu Zhenren died in middle age, and the martial arts thought that "everything is like a sword" was also lost. Qin Peng only heard that the Thousand Crane Northern Protector Xuanwu Ming had the highest martial arts among the four protectors, but he didn't expect that he would actually be able to learn from the real people.

Xuanwu said: "My 'everything is like a sword' is not as good as the family teacher, which makes Commander Qin smile." ”

Qin Peng was shocked for a long time when he heard this, and then sighed: "That's it, the contemptible teacher, who is also the former head of the Great Sword, once said that he had studied with Puzhu Zhenren in his early years, but he lost a few tricks immediately. The contemptible people are not as good as the first teacher, and if they continue to fight, I am afraid the result will be the same. ”

Xuanwu said: "I also hope that Commander Qin will be convenient." ”

Qin Peng said: "The big sword of the head of our sect is indeed not in the sword gate. ”

Xuanwu Ming let out an "oh", and said in his heart, the Mingshan Great Sword really went out of the customs ahead of schedule, or he had never retreated at all.

Qin Peng took out a letter from his arms, handed it to Xuanwu Ming, and said, "Northern Protector, please read it yourself." ”

Xuanwu Ming unfolded the letter, quickly skimmed through it, and then read it carefully twice, then returned the letter to Commander Qin, and said, "Who is the person who sent the letter?"

"East China Sea fishermen and Zuojiang scholars. It turned out that the head of the big sword also wanted to visit the head of your faction after leaving the customs, but the matter mentioned in the letter was extremely urgent, and the head of the big sword didn't care about red tape and went down the mountain with the two of them. ”

Xuanwu thought secretly: "The letter is sent by the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Xuanjing, I have seen his letters with his family teacher before, and the handwriting and grammar are very similar. Donghai Yusu and Zuojiang scholars are long-established figures on the rivers and lakes, this door and the above three people have contacts, whether Shaolin has invited the Mingshan sword to chase down the owner of Guo Lou as soon as you ask, if it is a fraud, you don't have to pull out these three reputable people. So he said: "Why didn't you explain this matter to Chizuru earlier, although the head of our faction has not come down the mountain for a long time, there are still a few of us who can do our best to help catch the murderer." ”

Qin Peng said: "This fact is secret, and the great sword of this sect has the help of the two heroes of the East China Sea Yusu and Zuojiang Scholars, so I think it is enough to deal with it." ”

Xuanwu said: "The letter does not explain where the owner of Guo Lou is hiding......"

Qin Peng said: "This is the reason why the two heroes of the East China Sea Yusu and Zuojiang Scholar came to Jianmen in person. ”

Xuanwu Jingxin Dao This matter has been completed, and the rest only needs to go to the party concerned for verification and send forty-eight disciples down the mountain to investigate, so he arched his hand to Qin Peng and said: "I will return to the master immediately to resume my life." ”
