Chapter Twenty-Six: The Five Swords of Jiangnan

Lu Zilong took the group of Wenshan Academy to one of the inns designated by this year's Sword Conference, Yuelai Inn. In the previous Sword Conference, Wenshan Academy also lived in this inn, which was considered an old customer, so as soon as I arrived at the inn, the shopkeeper greeted me very warmly and arranged the room.

After settling down, it was almost dinner time, and most of the people living in this inn were people from various academies, so when Lu Zilong and his party arrived in the lobby, they met people from several other academies.

"Yo, isn't this Mr. Lu from Wenshan Academy?" a middle-aged Confucian figure stood up and arched his hand.

A few other people also greeted them, and Lu Zilong returned the salute with a smile, and then said, "Everyone, it's a good thing to meet! The Jiangnan Academy Conference is a good opportunity for us and other academies to learn skills, it's really exciting!"

The middle-aged Confucian who spoke first smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Lu is quite sure this time, well, I haven't seen the two disciples who came this time, not bad, not bad!"

Lu Zilong said politely: "Where, where! My Wenshan Academy has not achieved good results in recent years, but I have taught others to see jokes! The old man just hopes that this conference will not be too backward and will be satisfied!"

After a period of greetings, Lu Zilong took Fang Datong, Ling Lingqi, and Ning Fengyun to sit down and order a table of food. Of course, Ling Lingqi was going to be treated specially, so the beef alone was five catties, and Ling Lingqi's meal was too amazing, and it immediately attracted the attention of others.

It was still the middle-aged Confucian who smiled at Lu Zilong and said, "Mr. Lu, the disciples of your academy are quite extraordinary, can you introduce us and others?"

Lu Zilong stroked his beard and smiled: "It's not impossible! This is a new disciple of our academy, named Ling Lingqi, who is only fourteen years old this year, and he will represent my Wenshan Academy to participate in this year's Jiangnan Academy Sword Conference." The other is Ning Fengyun, a disciple of our school, who will represent our school to participate in the poetry competition. ”

While speaking, Lu Zilong pointed at Ling Lingqi and Ning Fengyun respectively.

Ling Lingqi looked like he was still young, he was able to represent Wenshan Academy to participate in the Sword Discussion Conference, and the amount of food was so amazing, it caused people in several other academies to be a little curious, this son must have something extraordinary, this is what the other academy deans are thinking.

Lu Zilong whispered to Ling Lingqi: "Ling Lingqi, your opponents are very strong this time, just among the people who eat in this hall, there are three known as the Jiangnan Five Swords, these Jiangnan Five Swords are the five most powerful swordsmanship among the disciples of Jiangnan Academy, and in the past two Sword Discussion Conferences, they are all their world." ”

Fang Datong continued: "Yes, among the five swords in the south of the Yangtze River, three of them are famous disciples of the famous sects in the rivers and lakes, and the other two are family heirloom swordsmanship. Ah, the young man in the cyan robe is Dongfang Ming of the White Deer Cave Academy, this person is a registered disciple of the Huashan faction, although he is only a registered disciple, but he has also obtained the true transmission of the Huashan sword technique, which is indeed not to be underestimated!"

Ling Lingqi nodded and whispered, "Professor Fang, this person does seem to have an extraordinary temperament, he should be a fierce rival, I will be careful." ”

Lu Zilong pointed to a young man in a white Confucian costume at the other table and said: "That's Gui Zhongyuan of Wufeng Academy, this son is a registered disciple of the Hengshan Sword Sect, and his swordsmanship has been passed on by the Hengshan Sect's Huineng Master Taizhen, and he is the most powerful of the five swords in Jiangnan." Although the scholar's swordsmanship was created by my father's lifelong energy, it is indeed much worse than the swordsmanship of those Jianghu sects!

Ling Lingqi nodded resolutely and replied, "Okay, Dean, please rest assured, I, Ling Lingqi, will definitely go all out, and I will definitely not weaken the reputation of Wenshan Academy." What about the other three swords?"

Lu Zilong pointed to a table of people sitting on the edge of the lobby, and whispered: "See, that young man in Chinese costumes who is about twenty-five or sixteen years old is Nalan Ruoming, who is known as the Gentleman's Sword in the Jiangnan Five Swords, this son has a family heirloom swordsmanship, and he is also very clever, and he has won the sword conference for three consecutive years, Yunmeng Academy has high hopes for him, and he is a popular candidate to win the championship this time." There are two other people who did not come, but they are also very not simple characters, there is a disciple in Heshan Academy in western Sichuan, named Ximen Jingyun, nicknamed Chasing Wind Sword, is a registered disciple of the Qingcheng faction in Shuzhong, the swordsmanship has been Xiaocheng, and the speed of the sword is the fastest among the five swords in the south of the Yangtze River, so you must also be very careful when facing this person. ”

"What about the other person?" Ling Lingqi hurriedly asked, knowing that the other side can win all battles, although he is confident in his national arts and Tai Chi swordsmanship, but after all, he has not met those masters of the Jianghu sect until now, so he doesn't know if these real martial arts sects have wonderful swordsmanship like the martial arts novels he read in his previous life, if they are really as powerful as described in the martial arts novels, he is only in the realm of Ming Jin now, and he may not be able to cope with it.

Although the three of the five swords in Jiangnan are all registered disciples of famous families, judging from Lu Zilong's description, they are indeed extraordinary in swordsmanship. However, Ling Lingqi thought about it again, if that was the case, this journey would become more interesting, only in the continuous actual combat, tempered in danger, it is possible to continue to break through and enter a higher realm!

This is also the reason why Ling Lingqi wants to leave the academy and go to the rivers and lakes! Only by going to the rivers and lakes to practice, now he is looking forward to meeting Jiangnan Wujian in the ring, so that he can know what level the strength of the martial arts opponents in this era is about.

Lu Zilong continued: "The last person is a disciple of Goose Lake Academy, named Chu Liuling, nicknamed Asking Love Sword, this person is not only good at swordsmanship, but also more suave, so he got the nickname of Asking Love Sword. Although the Jiangnan Five Swords are very powerful, they are only among the disciples of Jiangnan Academy, and if they are put in the rivers and lakes, they can only be regarded as third-rate! Therefore, this time in the Sword Conference, there may also be some true disciples of the great sects of the rivers and lakes that the academy will recruit and say that it is not necessarily, Ling Lingqi, you must be careful, you must not underestimate the enemy, understand?"

Ling Lingqi nodded and said, "Dean, Professor Fang, don't worry! This time, I am determined to be at the top of the list! No matter how powerful the opponent is, I will let him taste the power of Tai Chi swordsmanship!"

Seeing that Ling Lingqi was so confident, Lu Zilong and Fang Datong glanced at each other, and then laughed, they both saw hope in each other's eyes! Indeed, Ling Lingqi's appearance this time was an opportunity for their Wenshan Academy to turn over! In the past, Jiangnan Academy did not have disciples of the martial arts sect, Wenshan Academy was in the Jiangnan Academy, swordsmanship was one of the best, and it also had a good ranking in the sword conference, until the emergence of the Jiangnan Five Swords, which attracted other academies to introduce some Jianghu sect disciples, or sent disciples to the Jianghu sect to learn swordsmanship, which made Wenshan Academy fall to the bottom.
