[Comprehensive martial arts] I fall into the city

Li Ning has always known that there is also a Tang Sect here, even in Sichuan. This Tang Sect is not the other Tang Sect, but it does not hinder her natural affection for the Tang Sect.

However, the Tang Tianrong who stood up was different from the disciples of the Tang clan that she knew in her previous life who would never make a move until the critical moment. In just three or five sentences, he took out a handful of poisonous sand from his arms and attacked Ye Gucheng. Like miscellaneous sects.

Ye Gucheng really deserved to be called Ye Gucheng. Even though Tang Tianrong's arsenopyrite was already in his hand, he didn't even change his expression. The sword was unsheathed, and immediately two deep wounds appeared on both sides of Tang Tianrong's shoulders.

Ye Gucheng's sword carried a thunderous aura, the indescribable brilliance and brilliance were like a flash of fireworks, and the light of the sword was like lightning, flashing away.

Li Ning had never seen Ximen Chuuxue strike with her own eyes, but she saw Ye Gucheng's sword first. She was secretly startled, and found that even in her heyday, it would be difficult for her to beat such a sword technique.

She had some feeling faintly, but she couldn't express it, so she had to suppress this feeling first.

However, at this time, Ye Gucheng raised his head slightly, looked towards the second floor, his star-like eyes met her gaze impartially, and he said softly, "Why are you practicing martial arts?"

Li Ning was taken aback for a moment, and confirmed that she was speaking to herself. She thought for a while and said, "For self-protection."

Ye Gucheng said again: "Why do you use a knife?"

Li Ning has heard people ask this question more than once. When Ximen Chuuxue asked her last time, she didn't understand what he meant, and only said that it was because the person who taught her to use a knife, but this time when Ye Gucheng asked again, she suddenly realized, Asked: "Should I not use a knife?"

Ye Gucheng said softly: "You don't have a knife in your heart, even if you have a knife in your hand, you will never find your own way."

Li Ning felt more and more that there was a piece of window paper left between her and the mysterious Tao, but she couldn't pierce it from time to time. She hoped that Ye Gucheng would clarify her words, but Ye Gucheng just took a look at her and took it back. line of sight.

The guard of honor in Baiyun City is gone.

However, the demeanor of Baiyun City Lord remained in everyone's hearts, and they could not let go of it for a long time.

Li Yanbei, who bet all his wealth on Ximen Chuuxue's victory, also turned pale. After all, he had seen Ximen Chuuxue's sword two years ago. He doesn't know what level Ximen Chuuxue is now, but he saw it with his own eyes. A style of Flying Immortal from Heaven, Ximen Chuuxue two years ago would never be able to block this sword.

Lu Xiaofeng comforted Li Yanbei with a few words, Du Tongxuan was rarely ridiculed, he glanced at Li Ning who was frowning, as if he was thinking about something, coughed lightly, and said: "Hero Lu, there seems to be something in the words of City Lord Baiyun just now? Can you explain a thing or two to us?"

Lu Xiaofeng was stunned for a moment, looked at Li Ning, and couldn't help sighing: "I don't practice swords or swords, if Ximen is here, I can order some girls."

Li Ning came to her senses, thanked Lu Xiaofeng in a hurry, before she even had time to go downstairs, she jumped out and disappeared at the end of the street.

Du Tongxuan said in surprise: "No one in Jianghu knows where Ximen Chuuxue is, why Miss Yan..."

Lu Xiaofeng stroked his mustache and said: "Pretty girls always have some privileges."

Ximen Chuuxue is practicing sword.

When a swordsman practiced his sword, he usually wouldn't let outsiders see him. When Li Ning was far away, he heard the sound of the sword's cry, and he hesitated whether to step forward.

She could hear, and of course Ximen Chuuxue could also hear her footsteps, he stopped the sword in his hand.

Li Ning poked her head out of the wall in embarrassment.

Ximen Chuuxue said flatly: "The only people who can interrupt my sword practice are my friends."

Li Ning said in a low voice: "So we are friends?"

Ximen Chuuxue glanced at her and said, "My friends usually don't talk to me on the wall."

Li Ning jumped down from the wall.

As soon as she approached, Ximen Chuuxue noticed something strange, he looked at Li Ning fixedly, and said in a firm tone: "You are approaching the bottleneck."

Li Ning touched her face, and said a little strangely: "Could it be written on the face too?"

Ximen Chuuxue did not answer this somewhat stupid question.

Fortunately, Li Ning was not curious about this either. She looked at Ximen Chuuxue with some hesitation, and said softly, "I met City Lord Ye just now."

Ximen Chuuxue said: "He also said that you have reached a bottleneck?"

Li Ning groaned, shook her head, and said, "City Master Ye asked me why I practiced martial arts, and I said to protect myself, but he said that I have no sword in my heart, and I can't find my own way."

Ximen Chuuxue smiled, it was the kind of smile that seemed slightly mocking.

It was not easy for Li Ning to muster up the courage to ask Ximen Chuuxue to clarify her doubts. At this moment, he laughed so much that she couldn't help but want to retreat, but before she could say goodbye, Ximen Chuuxue said, "Why are you practicing martial arts?"

Li Ning didn't know why he asked Ye Gucheng's question again, but she couldn't think of any other answer except to protect herself.

Ximen Chuuxue said: "I practice martial arts to kill people. There are too many people in the world who deserve to be killed. I have a sword in my hand and a sword in my heart, so I have the way."

Li Ning said puzzledly, "I've been a hero..."

Ximen Chuuxue looked at her steadfastly, and said: "I'm not a hero, and I kill people who deserve to be killed in order to be worthy of the sword in my hand, and I'm sincere to the Tao."

Li Ning took out the knife from her sleeve with a look of confusion on her face.

Ximen Chuuxue also looked at the red sleeve knife, and he said: "The way of swords and swords is not the same, the sword is the righteous way, and the knife is domineering, but no matter what kind of weapon it is, it is made to kill people, just like people practicing martial arts. It is for the purpose of killing, other things such as strengthening the body and protecting oneself are not considered real martial arts."

Li Ning recalled the scene when she killed someone for the first time. At that time, she didn't have a knife in her hand, but when Thunder fell, it was her life. She did it for Li Che, which can be regarded as self-protection.

If this is not true martial arts, then what is martial arts?

Ximen Chuuxue couldn't understand Li Ning's confusion. After all, since the beginning of his sword practice at the age of seven, he already understood what killing is and what martial arts is. Martial arts practice is the process of walking towards the Tao in his heart step by step. There was a moment of offset.

He thought for a while and said, "Why did you kill someone?"

Li Ning thought about it, she actually seldom kills, the last one was the Embroidered Thief last year, at that time she didn't think about killing, she just wanted to force the Embroidered Thief back, she didn't want him to die just like that.

More recently, she killed most of the time for self-protection. Sometimes when she saw someone who should be killed, such as bandits who murdered and robbed, people traffickers who robbed and sold women and children, and villains who murdered Yingye, she would not hesitate to strike. , to her, that is Xingxia.

But Ximen Chuuxue said, that's called murder.

Ripping off Xingxia's coat, the things he was used to in the past immediately changed.

Li Ning suddenly understood.

Ximen Chuuxue smiled and said, "If I don't die, you can be my opponent in another year."

Li Ning shook her head and said: "Although I don't know who is better in martial arts, you or Ye Gucheng, I always think you will be very good friends, not to mention just competing in sword skills, how could you die?"

Ximen Chuuxue's expression changed slightly, but he still smiled and said: "Since you already understand what Tao is, you should know that for a swordsman like me, losing is death. Between me and Ye Gucheng, we are doomed to live one."

Martial arts are about killing people, and learning martial arts is a life-and-death struggle. How can the winner be determined until the end?

That's why there are so many people in the rivers and lakes who want to watch the decisive battle.

Two shocking swordsmen, two equally sharp swords, only one of them is destined to leave alive.

When Li Ning heard the truth suddenly, she was stunned for a moment. She looked at Ximen Chuuxue and said, "Then why is there a decisive battle?"

Ximen Chuuxue didn't answer her this time.

It stands to reason that Li Ning has already obtained the answer about Tao from Ximen Chuuxue, and she has clearly penetrated the bottleneck. She should be very happy, but as long as she knows that the decisive battle between two swordsmen like Ximen Chuuxue and Ye Gucheng is a battle of life and death, how will she feel? It's hard to be happy.

On the contrary, it is very heavy.

Ximen Chuuxue saw it very openly, if he didn't see it openly, he wouldn't have proposed such a decisive battle at all.

As you hear the news, you can die in the evening.

He believed that Ye Gucheng must be the same person as him, otherwise he would not have come alone for a life-and-death sword appointment.

Ten days before the decisive battle on August [-]th, news spread from the palace that the emperor not only moved the Hall of Supreme Harmony ahead of time for the decisive battle between the two swordsmen, but also allowed people from the rivers and lakes to enter the palace to watch the battle. The number of people, Jianghu is a matter of Jianghu, the emperor ordered Lu Xiaofeng to enter the palace, gave him six ribbons, and asked him to hand them over to qualified Jianghu people. Only with this ribbon can enter the palace on the night of the decisive battle. Others trespassed in the forbidden palace and killed without mercy .

The ribbon is a tribute from Persia, the material is special, and it is extremely difficult to imitate on the market.

The news spread throughout the capital after Lu Xiaofeng left the palace.

All the Jianghu people in the capital were looking for Lu Xiaofeng, and they almost turned over the land of the capital to dig a few feet.

Lu Xiaofeng drank tea peacefully in Li's residence.

No one would have thought that he, a quack, would hang around in the mansion of a court official.

But it wasn't that he didn't pay, the ribbon that was priced at [-] taels of gold in the market was lightly tied by Lu Xiaofeng to the armrest of the chair in Li's residence.

If Lu Xiaofeng is willing to sell the ribbon, then he will immediately become the richest quack in the whole capital.

After staying in Li's mansion for nine days, Lu Xiaofeng went out for a trip, and then returned very proudly, saying that he had entrusted a trusted friend to deliver the ribbon to everyone he chose.

Li Ning looked at him for a long while, then asked hesitantly, "Have you given out all five?"

Lu Xiaofeng nodded triumphantly.

Li Ning said puzzledly, "Then why don't you watch the decisive battle?"

Lu Xiaofeng's smug smile froze instantly.

A wise man is always confused once in his life, and this time he was confused may cause him not to see the final battle between his two friends.

He forgot to leave one for himself.
