Chapter 20: The Fool

"The ancient gentleman, rule the world with benevolence and righteousness, and the teacher must be famous, you Qin people and Yuanwu steal the country, Zheng Sleeve is the second husband, do you still care about reputation?"

Zhao Ce raised his eyebrows and said lightly.

"What did you say!"

Hearing him say this, an angry shout and curse rang out from among the Qin army.

Zhao Ce's lips were slightly upturned, and there was a sarcastic look on his face, but he didn't bother to look at those Qin army sergeants.

"I'll tell you that, it's not about anyone else, it's just about the Bashan Sword Field, about the old war period between Wang Jingmeng and your master. The ghostly aura was deep, but the cultivator who looked like a military advisor was unmoved, and just said quietly as before, "Some things, whether you believe it or not, are facts that exist. ”

Zhao Ce looked at him and asked, "Who are you?"

The cultivator bowed his head and said, "Master Luo, but many people are used to calling me a ghost master. ”

Zhao Ce was slightly stunned, but he replied with a solemn bow: "It turned out to be the ghost sword that betrayed the Bashan Sword Field in the past, but I never thought that after leaving the Bashan Sword Field, you really practiced the exercises of the Yin God and Ghost Things." ”

The conversation between the two was very flat, but even in this wartime, there were exclamations and gasps inside and outside the city.

The significance of the Bashan Sword Field to the Qin people is self-evident, even though many records of the Bashan Sword Field were burned after Yuan Wu ascended the throne, but for the army, especially for the cultivators, many things and many people cannot be erased at all.

In the most glorious decades of Bashan Sword Field, there was only one traitor, and that was Shi Changluo.

Legend has it that Shi Changluo's sword intent is unpredictable, so he is called the ghost sword, and it is said that the reason why he became a traitor in the Bashan Sword Field is because he wanted to assassinate Wang Jingmeng. In the legend, his talent is similar to Wang Jingmeng, because he is too jealous of Wang Jingmeng's talent, for fear that Wang Jingmeng will overwhelm him in the future, so he wants to assassinate Wang Jingmeng, but after failing to fall off the cliff but was lucky not to die and escaped.

The reappearance of legendary characters often carries the breath of an era, making the air seem to become heavy.

However, Shi Changluo's expression was extremely light, and he said: "There is no distinction between the exercises and the inferior, and if they are useful, they will be used." ”

Such a faint attitude made Zhao Ce's face more solemn, and a feeling of being targeted by a vicious beast spontaneously arose, he looked at the division commander Luo, and said seriously: "It is rumored that you are jealous of Wang Jingmeng's failure to assassinate and betray the Bashan Sword Field, but you are not a narrow-minded person. ”

"Regardless of life and death, how can you know how to be strong or weak. Shi Changluo's tone suddenly became calm: "If I am defeated by him, I naturally have nothing to say, if I kill him, it will prove that he is not as strong as me." ”

Zhao Ce frowned and said, "It turned out to be an idiot in the sword." ”

The division commander glanced at this Zhao Jianlu Grandmaster, and countless complicated emotions were born in his heart, but in just a moment, his state of mind became absolutely unwavering, leaving no ripples.

"Why don't you kill Yuan Wu?" Zhao Ce couldn't help but ask.

Many of the Qin army sergeants were discolored.

"Although I escaped and did not die in the Bashan Sword Field, I was seriously injured, and my entry was slow. If it's the same eight realms, maybe you have to give it a try. The division commander replied calmly.

Everyone heard what he meant.

He thinks that he can't keep up with Yuan Wu, otherwise if he is the only one in the world who is side by side with Yuan Wu, then he will have to share life and death with Yuan Wu to see who is strong and who is weak.

Zhao Ce was silent for a few breaths, took a deep breath, looked up at the eyes of the division commander, and asked solemnly: "In the past, Wang Jingmeng really set a date for war with my master?"

The division commander said coldly: "A sword flying to slash the mirror lake and moon and burn the sulfur pool water, you should know these two things." ”

Mirror Lake was originally located in Wuzhou, Zhao realm, in the past, when Qin and Zhao were fighting, the Qin army conquered Wuzhou, Wang Jingmeng watched the Mirror Lake at night, cast a sword, the water waves were not shocked, but the reflection of the bright moon in the Mirror Lake was separated by two halves, and it was not together for a long time.

There is a hot spring called the sulfur pool in Zhaojing Spring City, the water is yellow and warm, about dozens of acres in a square circle, the grandmaster of Zhao Jian Furnace cast a sword on this sulfur pool one day, evaporated the sulfur pool water, and even made the hot spring cut off.

These two things have been a long time ago, but they represent the pinnacle of swordsmanship and cultivation in the world of cultivators, and they are destined to be passed down in the world of cultivators, just like the sword of Yuanwu in the Lushan Alliance.

In particular, the burning of the sulfur pool water of the grandmaster of the Zhao Sword Furnace is rumored in many later stories that he was dissatisfied with the emperor of the Great Zhao Dynasty at that time, so he used that sword to exert pressure, and soon after, he was killed by the Great Zhao Emperor.

These are all old things, and the twists and turns are difficult to explain, but today, when characters like Shi Changluo and Zhao Ce converge, it is possible to sort them out.

Especially for Zhao Ce, these things are more important than personal life and death.

"So what do you mean, my master burned the sulfur pool water with a sword, in response to Wang Jingmeng's sword?" he looked at Shi Changluo and asked slowly.

Shi Changluo sneered: "The time between the two things is almost the time when the news will be transmitted to your Zhao Jian Furnace, you should know your master better than me, with his temperament, will he really be so bored as to deliberately slash such a sword to deter your Emperor of Great Zhao?"

Zhao Ce was silent for a while, then bowed and saluted, "I would like to hear the details." ”

"It's simple. ”

The division commander said: "The city where your Zhao Sword Furnace was located was just an ordinary Zhao City that the Qin Army destroyed along the way, but no one thought that there would be a Sword Furnace there, there would be such a Grandmaster, and there were many powerful cultivators like you. As soon as your master made a move, he destroyed a Qin army, for the Bashan Sword Field at that time, even if many cultivators and armies were sent to exterminate your city, even if you killed your master, you strong people fled outside, after all, it was a disaster, so Wang Jingmeng wanted to gamble on a battle at that time, if he defeated your master, your Zhao Jianlu would withdraw from the city, and the Qin army would also leave the city, but your Zhao Jianlu's people could no longer interfere in the battle of Qin and Zhao. ”

After a pause, the division commander continued to sneer slightly: "That's the best way, if it were me, I would naturally do it like him." ”

Zhao Ce asked, "What does that have to do with those two things?"

"Wang Jingmeng is different from me. He may think that it is best not to distinguish between life and death, so he came out with that sword first, if your master knows that he is invincible, this sword covenant will not need to be compared, but your master deliberately went to him with a sword. Division Commander Luo bowed his head slightly and said.

Zhao Ce's eyes surged with many complicated looks, and he began to speak, but the speed of his speech became very slow, "So my master also thinks that he and Wang Jingmeng are opponents, otherwise, with his temperament, if Wang Jingmeng's sword is far inferior to him, he will not deliberately use that sword at all." If Wang Jingmeng was much better than him, he would naturally not use a sword again. ”

The division commander said lightly: "You finally understand." ”

Inside and outside the city, many soldiers and cultivators were in a huge shock at this time.

It turned out that the strongest person in the Great Qin Dynasty back then, and the grandmaster of Zhao Jianlu, were just rivals, and even agreed on a war date, but in the future, when they had time to divide the victory and defeat, the grandmaster of Zhao Jianlu had already died in the Zhao Dynasty's own conspiracy.
