Chapter 13: A Thousand Swords
Ning Xiao saw that Ximen Xue's swordsmanship posture was chic and amazing, and when Ximen Xue asked him what reward he wanted, he blurted out without thinking that he wanted to learn the sword washing palace sword control method. Ximen Xue didn't agree at first, but thanks to Li Linxi's persuasion, Ximen Xue decided to give Ning Xiao three difficult questions, and would teach Ning Xiao a set of sword washing palace swordsmanship based on Ning Xiao's performance of these three problems. So Ximen Xue first explained to Ning Xiao and the others the concept of the Sword Washing Palace's creation school, and then calmly said the first question in Ning Xiao's eager eyes.
"Sharpen the sword?" Ning Xiao and Li Linxi said in surprise.
"In three months, open for a thousand swords, and you will experience the sensation of the sword jumping in your own hands. At that time, when you attack the enemy, the sword in your hand will help you kill the enemy!!" Ximen Xue said as she stroked the thin sword at her waist.
"This sword is cast by overseas cold iron elites, blowing hair and breaking hair, the blade of the sword is three feet three, and the net weight is six catties and four taels!" While imagining the above scene, Ning smiled and replied categorically, "A word is a certainty!"
Li Linxi saw Ning Xiao agreeing so happily, and secretly worried about him in his heart, "If you want to sharpen your sword, you must have a sword to sharpen, right?"
When Ximen Xue heard Li Linxi's question, she bowed her head slightly and said, "Miss Li...... I don't have many other swords in the Sword Washing Palace, but there are many unopened swords. Later, I will arrange for someone to transport a batch of long swords from the palace for Ning Gongzi to use to sharpen his sword. Excuse me, do you have any questions?" When the word "Miss Li" was spoken, Ximen Xue's tone was slightly shielded, her face was slightly red, and she remembered the embarrassing word "Miss Lin" just now.
Seeing Ning Xiao shook his head, Li Linxi bit his lip and did not dispute it anymore. So Ximen Xue invited the two to an inn in Qingping Town to rest.
As soon as Ning Xiaocai entered his room, put himself on the bed and prepared to rest, he heard a hurried knock on the door on his hind feet. Ning Xiao didn't bother to get up, and asked loudly, "Who!" The knock on the door stopped abruptly, and no one answered. Ning Xiao was curious, and was about to get up to find out, when suddenly a person came in through the window, startling the unprepared Ning Xiao!
What are you trying to do? Suddenly ran into his room...... Ning Xiao doesn't know anything about men and women. Although there are no adult beggars in Zhige Town, the little beggars roam the streets and alleys all day long, and the residents of the town naturally see a lot of things to do at night. Thinking of what he had seen unintentionally, the sound of his heart pounding and jumping made his ears hurt. Ning Xiao was looking at Li Linxi's exposed snow neck in a daze, but Li Linxi said: "I'm lazy to death! Just enter the house, lie on the bed and prepare to sleep! Don't be in a daze, what do you want?"
Ning Xiao was summoned back to his soul by this sound, and his face was red for what he had just thought, and he covered it up: "It's nothing, it's nothing! What are you looking for me?"
Li Linxi saw that Ning Xiao's face was flushed, and he couldn't help but say with disdain: "You don't still think about your Ximen girl, right?" Lin Xi's guess, although it was not true, was not far away, so Ning Xiao was even more embarrassed. Li Linxi saw Ning Xiao's reaction, and thought that he was right, so he said with bad intentions: "Then you have to cultivate diligently! I remember you said that Zhang Buer, the head of the Seven Star Sect, seems to be interested in Ximen Xue!"
Ning Xiao said angrily: "I don't like it!"
Li Linxi was angry when he saw Ning Xiao, so he let him go. I only heard her say: "Sharpen a thousand swords in three months, and sharpen at least thirteen swords a day." In other words, if you remove the three hours you sleep, you will have to sharpen thirteen swords in nine hours, and your sharpening skills are so good?"
Ning smiled and was a little surprised!, "What? I have to sharpen so much every day? I don't know how to sharpen my sword yet, and I'm preparing to learn from the blacksmith in the town!"
Li Linxi was speechless when he heard this, "Come on, my protagonist, you have a good rest, and start learning how to sharpen your sword tomorrow!"
Ning Xiao heard the girl's "My protagonist", her heart fluttered, and before she came back to her senses, Li Linxi had already turned out of the window, only to hear him muttering helplessly: "If you don't go through the door, what window do you have to go to?" As soon as the words fell, Li Linxi turned in again, and said to Ning Xiao: "You're right! I should go out of the door!"
Ning Xiao watched the girl go and return in a daze, opened the door and walked away, the tip of her nose smelled the fragrance of plum blossoms again, and she habitually started to stay for a long time, only to hear the young man screaming: "I still have to get up and close the door T_T"
The next day, Ning Xiao ran to the blacksmith shop in Qingping Town and asked to learn the sword sharpening technique. It's just that the blacksmith in this town doesn't know how to sharpen swords, he usually sharpens scythes 0.0 Seeing that Ning Xiao's reward was really good, he was reluctant, so he simply pretended to be a sword sharpening technique and taught Ning Xiao.
Ning Xiao studied in the blacksmith shop for a morning, and learned the blacksmith's "sharpening sword" technique, and it happened that the thousand swords sent by the Sword Washing Palace also arrived in Qingping Town. Ximen Xue commanded, drifted away, and before leaving, he discussed with the two of them, with today's period, three months later, at dusk, to see what Ning Xiao sharpened his sword and sharpened.
Ning Xiao asked the blacksmith to borrow the shop to use, but the blacksmith refused, and Li Linxi saw this and simply rented the blacksmith shop for three months. The blacksmith left happily with the rent in hand, and Li Linxi was also about to walk around to take a look at the scenery near Qingping Town, so Ning Xiao began his journey of sharpening his sword.
A week passed in a blink of an eye, and Li Linxi came back from outside the town to see Ning Xiao's work. "Ning Xiao, how many swords have you sharpened?" Ning Xiao saw Li Linxi coming back, and said with a smile: "It's exactly two hundred, hehe, it's very easy to sharpen the sword! It seems that I am expected to get it done in a month and a half! I don't know if there will be any unexpected rewards!"
When Li Linxi heard this, he was surprised in his heart, how could this speed be more than twice as fast as he expected? Regardless of Ning Xiao boasting on the side, Li Linxi picked up Ning Xiao's sharpened sword and looked at it carefully. With just one glance, Li Linxi found the clue and knew why Ning Xiao sharpened his sword so fast, "Ning Xiao, why did you only open one side of the sharpened sword?"
Ning smiled and said, "Ha, what the blacksmith taught me is to open the edge on one side!"
"You...... Learning ...... Be...... Sickle...... ......" Li Linxi couldn't breathe with a smile.
With Ning Xiao's miserable shout, Ning Xiao's journey of sharpening his sword had just begun......
In the blink of an eye, Ning Xiao could sharpen a thousand swords, the first half of Li Linxi accompanied Ning Xiao to talk and laugh, and the second half of Ning Xiao seemed to be stupid, like crazy like a demon, which once made Li Linxi worried. In the evening of this day, Ximen Xue carried the sunset on her back and came with a song, "How? sharpen the sword with a thousand handles, what have you ever experienced?" Ximen Xue first glanced at the long sword everywhere, and asked directly regardless of the situation of the long sword.
Before Ning Xiao could answer, Li Linxi said: "Ning Xiao is stupid when he sharpens his sword!"
Ximen Xue replied expressionlessly: "If you don't go crazy, you won't survive." Only by being sincere with the sword can we achieve the supreme sword. ”
"The sword is a human tool!" Ning Xiao suddenly said aloud, also expressionless, similar to Ximen Xue's expression, which made Li Linxi worried. "People give the shape of the sword, and help the sword to strike. No one knows if the sword is sharp until it is sharpened. The sword is a tool of man, and man is the master of the sword. The sword is the continuation of man, and man is the will of the sword! Controlling man with a sword, but a beast with a sword, and using a man to resist a sword is the real swordsman!" Ning Xiao said as he spoke, his eyes gradually brightened!
When Ximen Xue heard Ning Xiao's answer, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, "Your statement is similar to the Seven Star Sect, I don't dare to agree." ”
Ning Xiao was like being splashed on his head by a basin of cold water, and Li Linxi saw that Ximen Xue didn't seem to be very satisfied with Ning Xiao's answer, and felt sorry for Ning Xiao's hard work for several days, so he hurriedly said: "Aren't you washing the Sword Palace so that everyone in the world can use swords? Why do you have such a strong view of the portal?"
Ximen Xue said categorically: "The Tao is different, and they don't conspire with each other. The people who bear the sword have different beliefs, so why talk about making the whole world use the sword?"
Ning Xiao and Li Linxi were speechless. Ximen Xue shook her head and said, "That's it, this is also the answer you came up with after sharpening your sword with a thousand handles, cherish it, protect it, stick to it, and prove it." So, the second question!"PS: The lights at home blew up...... It's scary......
