Chapter 12: The Sword Split

In fact, the more you get used to something, the easier it is to ignore it.

When Xu Chen carefully compared, he really saw the true details of this jade sword.

The clear green sword body, the delicately carved hilt, and the entire gossip map are engraved on the gauntlet, but there is only one fish in the center of the yin and yang fish. Although the whole picture is extremely small, if you look closely, it is enough to make it clear, which shows how superb the craftsmanship of the craftsmen was back then.

When Xu Chen carefully compared the lines, he unexpectedly found that the difference between the two was that there was a red bloodshot in the jade sword he was wearing, and that bloodshot was ...... The streak of blood was swimming slowly in the sword.

Xu Chen quickly stuffed the jade sword into his neckline, trying to control his rapid breathing, and the scene in front of him was something he had never seen before.

He was sure that the bloodshot had never appeared, at least not in the past ten years, and a question mark appeared in his mind, "Why is that?"

This jade sword accompanied him one by one, I am afraid that when he was born, his mother took it on Xu Chen's body, but he himself had never seen this blood, and he could swim freely in the jade sword, what a hell.

Xu Chen knew that this was not the place to study, so he took this copy of "Splitting the Void Sword Battle" to the rattan chair, looked at Elder Huang with wandering eyes, and said softly: "Elder Huang, can I take this book?"

Elder Huang seemed to be thinking about something just now, when Xu Chen suddenly shouted, his body trembled suddenly, and he said casually: "Ah! Of course, you can take it if you like it, I just need to record it." ”

As he spoke, Elder Huang took the book "Splitting the Void Sword Duel" in Xu Chen's hand, and just wanted to copy the title of the book in a book next to him. However, as soon as he lifted the pen, he was slightly surprised and said, "Young Master, are you sure you want to take this one? Most of the stories in it are ancient myths!"

Xu Chen nodded deeply.

Elder Huang shook his head with a deep face, and said after a moment's pause: "Young Master, this sword duel is really not suitable for you! You haven't read it carefully, have you? The sword duel in it is not only few and few, but also just a fragment!" Elder Huang turned the book over, the back of the "Splitting Void Sword Duel" was indeed broken, and most of it should have been lost.

Seeing that Xu Chen still didn't react, Elder Huang said meaningfully: "Young Master, I'll tell you the truth, I've also read this book, but what is talked about in this sword duel is something that is fundamentally unrealistic, it is simply a myth and legend, and it is even contrary to cultivation. You must know several realms of cultivation! This highest realm is the Tai Void Realm, although we ordinary cultivators don't know what this Tai Void Realm is all about, but the author of this book actually said that there is still a Split Void Realm, isn't this nonsense, such a book with the donkey's lips and the horse's mouth, I think you still don't read it!"

"Oh, Elder Huang, I'm just curious, besides, I can't just assert that this is a useless book without reading it, right?" Xu Chen replied softly, but in Elder Huang's opinion, this was obviously a distrust of himself.

Elder Huang shook his head helplessly, and sighed: "Young Master, I am just persuading with good words, if you insist on taking it, I naturally have nothing to say." ”

As he spoke, Elder Huang hastily copied the title of the book and returned the "Splitting Void Sword Decision" to Xu Chen, but while he handed out the book, he didn't forget to mutter, "Young Master, you should know that your current cultivation is originally ...... Well, you know. If you still look at these useless things now, I'm afraid you'll really delay your cultivation!"

Xu Chen smiled slightly, and said politely: "Thank you Elder Huang for your concern, I have my own measure!"

Elder Huang smiled helplessly, really got up, shook his head, and said, "Okay, then the eldest young master will wait for a while, and I will go to the second floor to give you that steel sword now." With that, he turned around and walked to the side staircase.

After a while, Elder Huang came down from the second floor and handed a steel sword to Xu Chen.

Most of the steel swords of the Xu family are no different, and they are generally not of good quality, after all, they are not as professional as the major sects, and outside the sects, cultivation is obviously more important than sword duels and weapons.

After Xu Chen thanked Elder Huang, he turned around and left.

Looking at Xu Chen's departing back, Elder Huang sighed softly: "Hmph!

......

Xu Chen returned to his room with the "Splitting Void Sword Decision" and the steel sword, and after plugging in the door, he couldn't wait to take out the "Splitting Void Sword Decision" and read it.

As Elder Huang said, most of the books are ancient myths, and only the last two or three pages are some simple sword battles, and the wording is obscure, which is contrary to orthodox practice.

The story told in it is also known to the world, probably the legend of how Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou, the book says that in the early stage of the Zhuolu War, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor led the eight tribes against the Jiuli tribe led by Chiyou, but because the Chiyou department has long been proficient in smelting technology, their soldiers are wearing heavy armor, copper head and iron forehead, brave and good at fighting.

Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor was defeated and retreated. The people either died on the battlefield or became slaves, and the scene was extremely tragic.

Just when the tribes were almost desperate, they saw Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor personally fighting, he held the Xuanyuan sword in his hand, and rushed straight to the enemy formation, the Xuanyuan sword was full of brilliance, and the enemy fell one by one.

Later, after a long and fierce battle, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor finally defeated the army of the Jiuli tribe, and also captured their leader Chi You, cut off his head, and sacrificed heaven and earth, and the Zhuolu War ended.

Xu Chen silently took out the jade sword from his neckline, and carefully observed it for a long time, the bloodshot was still swimming slowly, and he sighed: "Could it be that this is the Xuanyuan Sword?

Just as Xu Chen was guessing, there was a sudden knock on the door, accompanied by an old voice.

"Young Master, are you there? I'm Lao Wu!"

"Uncle Wu?" Xu Chen hurriedly put away his things, hurriedly opened the door, and it was Lao Wu's smiling face that bumped into him.

"Uncle Wu, why are you here, didn't you say that you only came every night!"

"Oh, young master, I'm fine, I'll come and see if you have picked a sword?" said Lao Wu and Xu Chen entered the room, and Xu Chen casually plugged in the door again.

"So careful, what's going on?"

Seeing Xu Chen's slightly alert expression, Lao Wu asked with concern, hesitated for a moment, and then asked again: "By the way, young master, have you chosen your sword in the final selection?" This is very important. ”

Xu Chen didn't answer immediately, he sat down on the bed while thinking, hesitated for a moment and said, "Uncle Wu, have you ever heard of Xuanyuan Sword?"

"Huh?"

Lao Wu frowned, and said softly: "Oh! Of course I've heard it! What's wrong?"

Xu Chen closed his eyes and thought about it for a long time, and finally decided to talk to Lao Wu, "Uncle Wu, can you tell me about it? Or does the Xuanyuan Sword really exist?"

Lao Wu sat next to Xu Chen with a smile, as if he already knew what Xu Chen was thinking, "Actually, you want to say that this pendant left by your mother is not the Xuanyuan Sword, right?"

Xu Chen turned his head and looked at Lao Wu in surprise, "You, how do you know?"

Lao Wu smiled evilly at Xu Chen, and said slowly: "Young Master, I am sure that this jade sword of yours is definitely not a Xuanyuan sword, and besides, there is no Xuanyuan sword in the world at all. ”

"Huh?"

Xu Chen was slightly surprised, "Uncle Wu, everyone in the world knows that the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor had a Xuanyuan sword back then, and he ...... it."

Xu Chen took out the copy of "Splitting the Void Sword Battle" easily, "And it is said in this book that it was the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor who used the Xuanyuan Sword to win a big victory in the Battle of Zhuolu." ”

Lao Wu gently took the booklet, flipped through it casually, shook his head and said: "This is just an exaggeration of that history, if there is really a Xuanyuan sword, it can only be the world in order to commemorate the Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, and a sword he once used to name it, there are many such things." ”

Xu Chen shook his head after hearing this, he put the pendant on the cover, and pointed to the small sword on the cover to show Lao Wu, "Uncle Wu, don't you think these two are very similar? This will never be a coincidence." ”

Lao Wu nodded, and did not deny it, "Young Master, of course, this is not a coincidence, but this is by no means the Xuanyuan Sword, because there is really a Xuanyuan Sword in history, but it is not as the world imagines, more precisely, it is not a sword at all, but the name of a tribe." ”

"The name of a tribe, and why is it called Xuanyuan Sword?"

Xu Chen couldn't understand it even more, his eyes stared at Lao Wu, he hoped to find the answer.

Lao Wu sighed, as if he had made up his mind, "Young Master, since you want to know so much, then I'll tell you about it, but this is just a legend, but at least it's more reliable than the Xuanyuan Sword." ”

"As far as I know, in the early stage of the Battle of Zhuolu, Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor had actually been defeated, not at all the defeat and retreat as mentioned in the book, let alone the nine battles and so on as the world said. Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor's eight major tribes suffered heavy casualties, and even the Shaodian clan of his own clan was almost wiped out. However, the Jiuli tribe led by Chiyou is still attacking fiercely, and Chiyou's purpose is not only to defeat the Eight Great Divisions, but also to kill Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor himself, and at the last moment, the only thing Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor can do is to sacrifice to the sky, hoping that God can help him through this difficulty. Coincidentally, just when Chi You was already close to the big tent of Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor, a mysterious tribe seemed to fall from the sky and instantly defeated the troops of the Jiuli tribe. ”

"Instantly?"

Xu Chen couldn't believe it, because this was too exaggerated, what was the difference between this and Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor holding the Xuanyuan Sword to break the enemy army.

"Yes, as far as I know, in an instant!"

Lao Wu emphasized, "In the end, this mysterious tribe defeated the Jiuli tribe and captured Chiyou himself, the so-called Chiyou himself is just the biggest leader of the Jiuli tribe, in fact, there are many people called Chiyou." ”

"And then, you mean, this mysterious tribe is called Xuanyuan Sword?" Xu Chen seemed to be able to think of it.

Lao Wu nodded, sighed and said, "Actually, people know who they are, even Xuanyuan Yellow Emperor doesn't know." But before that, he had been defeated with the Eight Departments, his prestige had fallen to the lowest point, and the Eight Departments were about to fall apart. In order to reunite the tribes, he lied that the mysterious tribe was a sword he borrowed from God to eradicate demons. Eventually, it was named after himself. Later, he also went to Mount Tai to carry out the Zen ceremony, people thought he was sacrificing heaven and earth, but they didn't know, in fact, he was thanking the mysterious tribe. ”

After hearing this, Xu Chen nodded slightly, but he didn't dare to believe it in his heart, but this was not the most important thing for him, he thought for a moment, raised his head and said to Lao Wu: "Even if what you said is right, then what is my jade sword? Why is it the same as the picture in this book?"
