I'm a Sword Immortal in Douluo Continent

Chapter 7 The True Douluo and the Shadow Sword

Early the next morning, Lin Bai went out to look for a rental house.The dormitory in the college was filled with a group of half-grown children. They were not honest when sleeping at night, whispering, grinding their teeth, and talking in their sleep, which made Lin Bai unable to practice well that night.

Lin Bai ordered a bowl of steaming tofu puffs from the breakfast stall in front of the school. While eating, he asked the boss: "Boss, are there any houses for rent nearby? It doesn't need to be too big, but it must be quiet. It's best to have a house for rent." It’s like a small courtyard.”

The boss was cleaning up the table where other guests had finished eating, and replied with a smile: "When you asked, I remembered that my brother has a small yard for rent, not far from our college. In terms of price, Don’t worry, it’s definitely cheap.”

"Then can we go see your brother now?" Lin Bai felt happy, but he didn't expect that the problem would be solved as soon as he left the house.

"You see, my business is very good, so I can't leave it for now. Just go along this road and turn right at the second intersection. The one with the big tree in the yard is the house my brother wants to rent." The boss apologized.

"It's okay, thank you." After Lin Bai paid the bill, he got up and went to the boss's brother's house.

Arriving at the entrance of the small courtyard, there was a burst of wild beasts' whines and heroic laughter.Lin Bai frowned. Is this the so-called "quiet" courtyard?

Walking into the small courtyard, Lin Bai saw several burly men pointing around a tied up snow-white leopard and a huge wild boar. One of the men was waving a huge butcher knife in his hand, thinking about where to start.

Seeing Lin Bai, several big men were obviously stunned. One of them came over and said pleasantly: "Kid, are you lost?"

Lin Bai twitched the corner of his mouth. Although the big man in front of him had tried very hard to look kind, the blood stains on his body and thick beard could still scare children to tears.

"I am a student at Notting City Soul Master Junior College. I heard from the breakfast vendor at the entrance of our college that this small courtyard is for rent, right?" Lin Bai asked the big man in front of him.

"Um, you're here to rent a house. Where are your adults, just you?" The big man in front of him was stunned.The person behind the big man patted him: "This is the soul master in the academy. Please speak more politely."

The big man in front of Lin Bai scratched his head and said to Lin Bai: "My name is Zhuang Tieniu, the brother of the boss you mentioned. As you can also see, we are a group of hunters. We usually hunt around the Soul Hunting Forest. Ordinary beasts and weak spirit beasts. This small courtyard is used by us to process prey, but don’t worry, it can only be done once a week at most. Hunting is a business with your head in your belt, and we don’t do it often. .”

Lin Bai nodded. He looked at the wide yard and the three cabins, nodded with satisfaction, and asked, "How is the rent calculated?"

"One silver soul coin a month or a year can give you a discount. One gold soul coin is enough. But we will occasionally come here to process prey, and then you can take some meat to eat by yourself. There is also trouble with the things in the yard. Take care of it and don't lose it," Zhuang Tieniu said.

Lin Bai nodded in agreement, and the two of them took a pen and paper and wrote two notes, then dipped the animal blood on the ground and made their fingerprints.Lin Bai put away the documents, took out a gold soul coin from the bag in his arms, and handed it to Zhuang Tieniu.

The men behind Zhuang Tieniu's eyes suddenly became hot when they saw that a child was carrying so much money.

Lin Bai looked at their reactions and sneered secretly in his heart.He walked into the two tied beasts, flicked his fingers, and two sword energy penetrated into the brains of the two beasts from their eyes, instantly cutting off their vitality.

Several men suddenly felt shocked. Zhuang Tieniu was also a thoughtful person. He immediately reacted when he saw Lin Bai take action. He turned around and glared at the people behind him.

Afterwards, Zhuang Tieniu felt a chill running down his back as he looked at the two lifeless beasts on the ground.A child killed two beasts without any fuss, and his expression didn't even change.Moreover, the killing method was so light and not even a drop of blood was spilled, which is indeed chilling.

"It only hurts the eyes, not the fur. Boss Zhuang, this snow leopard skin can be sold for a good price." Lin Bai said with a smile.

Zhuang Tieniu also smiled and replied: "Thank you very much, little brother. I will leave you a piece of the wild boar meat that will be disassembled later. It tastes delicious."

"Thank you very much, Boss Zhuang." Lin Bai said with cupped hands, then turned and entered the main room.

The main room is fully equipped with tables, chairs and benches, but the quilts on the bed are those used by Zhuang Tieniu and others.Lin Bai planned to go to the street and buy a few new ones later. Then the remaining two houses would be divided between Tang San and Xiao Wu, which would save them the trouble of living in Datongpu every day.

The treatment of the two beasts outside the house was quickly completed. Zhuang Tieniu and the others left a whole wild boar hind leg for Lin Bai, then cleaned the small yard and left.

Lin Bai walked out of the house and looked at the large pig hind leg hanging on the clothesline, feeling dumbfounded.It seems that my performance just now really frightened these people. I am afraid that I am trying to apologize for leaving so much meat for myself.

Although the courtyard has been cleaned, the smell of blood still lingers.Lin Bai wanted to check if there was any lime in the house, and sprinkle some lime water in the courtyard to get rid of the bloody smell.

But when he entered the house, he suddenly felt like he was facing a formidable enemy. The Seven-Star Longyuan Sword was summoned by him, and he raised his hands to his chest and shouted, "Who is it!"

"Boy, what a keen intuition." The shadows of the objects placed in the room suddenly became distorted, and a black shadow slowly stood up from the ground and transformed into a human form.

Lin Bai felt that the aura of this black shadow was as deep as the abyss and the sea, unfathomable, and it was slightly worse than himself in the previous life.

"Title Douluo!" A thunder and lightning struck Lin Bai's mind. He did not expect that a Title Douluo would come to him.

"Lin Bai, join my Wuhun Hall. He will apologize to you for what happened to Xie Yue." Heiying said calmly.

Lin Bai sneered: "If I don't join, will I die?"

Just as the black shadow was about to speak, the door to the house was kicked open, and a tall and wild figure walked into the house and laughed.

"Old ghost, you still want my good disciple to die?"

Ghost Douluo took a step back and said in a trembling voice: "Sure enough, apart from Chen Xin, you are the only one who can teach such a powerful disciple, Noumenon Douluo - Shen Xiao."

Shen Xiao looked at Lin Bai, who still looked unyielding in the face of Ghost Douluo, and nodded with satisfaction.Then he turned to Ghost Douluo and said: "Do you want to get out of here, or should I ask you to go out? Tell Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu that this child is my closed disciple of Shen Xiao. Who dares to touch him, our Noumenon Sect will fight with him The fish is dead and the net is broken!”

Ghost Douluo snorted coldly, turned into a black line, and left the small courtyard. Level 97 Super Douluo, the master of the main body sect, the main body Douluo Shen Xiao is not something that a mere Ghost Douluo can handle.

Lin Bai didn't have time to observe Shen Xiao carefully until Ghost Douluo left.

I saw that Shen Xiao was about forty years old, with wild black hair hanging down his head, a resolute face, fair complexion, and especially a pair of eyes, as if two black vortexes could suck in a person's soul.

The most surprising thing was that Shen Xiao didn't have any soul power fluctuations on his body. He was just like an ordinary person. Compared with Ghost Douluo who had just left, it was completely different.

"Return to nature?" Lin Bai was secretly surprised. Has Shen Xiao's cultivation reached such a shocking level?

Shen Xiao looked at Lin Bai in front of him and said with a smile: "Boy, what do you want to see your master do?"

Lin Bai said doubtfully: "Senior, I did not worship you as my teacher."

Shen Xiao snorted: "Who else can teach such a talented apprentice like you except me."

Lin Bai scratched his head, not knowing what to say.

Seeing that Lin Bai was silent, Shen Xiao said, "Your swordsmanship is somewhat interesting. It just so happens that my martial spirit is also a sword. Isn't this the fate of our master and disciple. Come, look." With that, Shen Xiao summoned His own martial spirit.

Lin Bai was almost blinded by the nine soul rings in front of him. He couldn't believe what he saw.

red!red!red!red!red!red!red!red!red!

Nine 10-year spirit rings!

Lin Bai said tremblingly: "How did you do this?" But then, he was attracted by Shen Xiao's martial spirit.

Shen Xiao was seen holding a sword hilt in his hand, and the sword body seemed to not exist.

"Chengying Sword!" Lin Bai blurted out.

Note:

1. Shadow Sword

A famous ancient sword, one of the ten famous swords.It was once owned by Kong Zhou, the emperor of the Shang Dynasty and a guard in the Spring and Autumn Period. It was as famous as Hanguang and Xiaolian, and was also called the Three Swords of the Emperor of the Shang Dynasty.

From the perspective of etymology, "Three Swords of Emperor Shang" is originally a philosophical term, which is a metaphor for the three divine swords that existed in ancient times. It first appeared in "Liezi·Tang Wen".

Chengying is a delicate and elegant sword. It is said that when it was released, "the dragon separated from Chengying, and the geese fell and forgot to return", hence the name Chengying.Later, it was collected by Kong Zhou, a famous swordsman in the Wei Kingdom during the Spring and Autumn Period.

2. Historical stories

One dawn in the Spring and Autumn Period, in a pine forest on the outskirts of Weiguo, when the sky was black and white, a pair of hands slowly rose.There is a sword hilt in his hands. Only the hilt is missing and the sword body is not visible. However, an erratic sword shadow is faintly cast on the north wall. The sword shadow only lasts for a moment, and then disappears with the coming of daylight. , until dusk, when the sky gradually darkens, at the moment when day and night intersect, the erratic sword shadow appears again.The raised hands drew an elegant arc and waved towards a tall and tall ancient pine nearby. There was a gentle "chun" sound in the ears, and the tree body shook slightly, but no change was seen. However, not long after, the lush green pine tree appeared. The songgai fell slowly in the gentle south wind, and the flat and protruding growth rings showed the passage of time.The sky became darker, the long sword became invisible again, the ancient twilight closed silently, and there was silence between heaven and earth.This invisible long sword is the Shadow Sword.History has passed down the chapter of Kong Zhou's dance with the Shadow Sword.

3. The Realm of the Sword

Wei Heizao killed Qiu Bingzhang due to a personal grudge, and Qiu Bingzhang's son Laidan prepared to avenge his father.Lai Dan's aura is very brave, but his body is very weak. He counts the grains of rice to eat and can only walk with the wind.Although angry, he cannot raise weapons to retaliate.He was unwilling to borrow other people's power and vowed to kill Black Egg with his own hands.Wei Hei'ao's ambition is stronger than anyone else's, and his strength can defeat a hundred opponents. His muscles, bones, skin, and flesh are not something that ordinary people can withstand.He stretched out his neck to receive the sword blow, and opened his chest to receive the arrow blow. The blade of the sword was damaged and bent, but his body showed no trace of being hit.Relying on his own abilities and strength, he regarded Laidan as a bird that had just hatched out of its shell.Lai Dan's friend Shen said to him: "You hate Hei Yao to the extreme, and Hei Yao is going too far to underestimate you. What are you going to do?" Lai Dan said with tears, "I hope you can think of a solution for me." Shen said: "I heard that the ancestors of Kong and Zhou of the Wei Kingdom got the sword of the emperor of the Yin Dynasty. A child wore it and defeated the officers and soldiers of the three armies. Why don't you ask him?"

So Lai Dan went to Weiguo and met Kong Zhou. He treated him as a slave and asked to mortgage his wife and children to him, and then discuss what he wanted.Kong Zhou said: "I have three swords, you can choose them, but they can't kill anyone. Let's talk about their situation first. One sword is called Hanguang. You can't see it, but you don't feel its existence when you use it. It When you touch an object, you won't feel the object has any substance at all, and you won't feel it passing through your body. The other sword is called Chengying. Look at it facing north when it's getting dark in the morning or getting dark in the evening. , it seems that something exists faintly, but its shape cannot be seen clearly. When it touches the object, there is a clear sound, and it passes through the body without feeling pain. Another sword is called Xiaolian, which can be used during the day. You can see its shadow but not its light. You can see its light at night, but you can't see its shape. When it touches the body, it passes with a click and closes again as soon as it passes. Although you can feel the pain, you can't see its shape. There is not a trace of blood on the blade. These three swords have been passed down for thirteen generations and have not been used. They are kept in boxes and have never been opened."

Laidan said: "Even so, I still want to borrow the worst one." So Kong Zhou returned his wife and children to him, and fasted with him for seven days, kneeling on a half-clear and half-cloudy day. After giving him the last sword, Lai Dan thanked him twice, accepted the sword and returned home.

From then on, Lai Dan followed Hei Dan with a sword. One day, Hei Yao was drunk and lying under the window. Lai Dan slashed Hei Yao three times from his neck to his waist, without Hei Yao noticing.Lai Dan thought Hei Yao was dead and left in a hurry. He met Hei Yao's son at the door, so he slashed him three times with his sword, as if he had hit the void.Hei Yao's son then smiled and said, "Why are you waving to me three times stupidly?" Lai Dan realized that the sword really couldn't kill anyone, so he lamented and returned home.After Hei Yao woke up, he got angry at his wife and said, "You took off my clothes while I was drunk, which made my throat clogged and my waist hurt." His son said, "Lai Dan came here just now and touched me at the door. He fell in love with me and waved at me three times, which also made my body hurt and my limbs numb. Did he use some magic to subdue us?"

A famous sword from ancient legends.It was once hidden by Kong Zhou, the Shang emperor and a guard in the Spring and Autumn Period. "Liezi Tangwen": "Kong Zhou said: I have three swords, but Zi chose... The third is to practice at night. During the day, you can see shadows but not light, and at night, you can see squares but not form. When they touch objects, they will pass by. , Follow the passage and join together, feel the illness but not the bloody blade."One is "Xiao Lian".
