different paths

When I went in, I saw only one person, but now there are two people coming out, I am not surprised to see them, I just invite them to get in the car and take their seats.Yue Chentan didn't react when he saw Jia Wuhai getting into the car with him, he just glanced at him and didn't say anything.

Along the way, there are uninhabited snowfields and endless snow-capped mountains. Early spring has come, but there is no greenery at all.Just when he was about to arrive at Longyuan Mountain Villa, the climate suddenly became warmer, and the surrounding scenery was completely different from before.Flowers are everywhere, green grass is like a rug, and flowing water is gurgling. It is a scene of warm spring, flowers blooming, singing birds and fragrant flowers.

In the middle of the endless Fangyin, there is a spacious and flat avenue. At the end of the avenue, a villa is built next to the mountain. It is magnificent and magnificent. It is the famous Longyuan Villa.

On the top of Longyuan Mountain Villa, there is a huge stone sword. From a distance, the blade is as thin as paper, cutting obliquely into the mountain body, and the hilt of the sword soars into the clouds, complementing the distant mountains and white clouds.There are large and small pavilions and courtyards in the villa, and each roof is equipped with a stone sword, either standing or lying, or inclined or horizontal, with different postures and different sword bodies, which is very unique.

On both sides of the avenue leading to the mountain gate, there are neatly lined up statues of various weapons on the sacred weapon spectrum, made of red copper, more than ten feet high, or swords or sticks, or axes or battleaxes, standing proudly between the sky and the earth, Majestic and murderous.

"This bronze statue is quite interesting." Jia Wukai lifted the curtain and looked out of the window, touched his chin and said, "The weapons on the artifact list change every year, so it's possible that this statue also increases, decreases and shifts every year?"

"Exactly." An emotionless voice covering the sun came from under the black mask.

"Villa Master Lu really doesn't mind the trouble." Jia Wuju wrinkled his nose and said.

"Since the birth of the Artifact Book, although many magical weapons have appeared in the rivers and lakes, very few of them have been able to enter the Artifact Book, and even fewer have been able to change the order of the Artifact Book." He said lightly.The implication is that even if many people covet the ranking of the Artifact Book, there are very few weapons that can be used to shake it.

"Oh?" Jia Wujue raised his eyebrows with interest when he heard the words, and a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, "Which three weapons are the top three in the Artifact Book?"

Ranking high on the artifact spectrum is both a good thing and a bad thing for the weapon holder.The good thing is that the magic soldier is famous in the world, but the bad thing is that everyone is innocent and pregnant with crimes, and he is coveted for no reason.Therefore, if you want to sit firmly at the top of the artifact spectrum, not only must your weapons be first-class, but your skills must also be first-class.

Before Zhe Ri could answer, the carriage passed by the three weapons closest to the villa, but this was enough for Jia Wuchai to see the shapes of the three weapons clearly, and two of them looked familiar.

"Two swords, one..." Jia Wuhai recalled the weird shape, hesitantly asked, "Could it be a broom?"

"That's the weapon of Uncle Du Ku." Yue Chentan, who had closed his eyes and meditated along the way, finally opened his eyes, and finally opened his mouth.

"Crossing suffering?" Jia Wujue rolled his eyes, "Could it be that master who doesn't sweep the house or the world?"

"Exactly." Cong Ri replied, "Master Du Ku's broom is at the top of the list of artifacts, but the next two brooms are difficult to compare, regardless of their status."

Jia Wujue thought for a while, and said clearly: "The two swords are Mei Dulin's sheathless sword and Luo Shijie's yin and yang swords."

Zhe Ri nodded, and while speaking, the speed of the carriage slowed down, and finally stopped firmly in front of the villa.Jia Wuyu jumped out of the car first, stretched out his hand, and waited eagerly for Yue Chentan to come out.

It's a pity that King Xiang had no intention of having a dream goddess, Yue Chentan avoided his hand, as if he hadn't seen him at all, and passed him by.

"Hey, wait for me." Jia Wujue looked at Yue Chentan's back, helplessly scratched his head, took a deep breath and followed.

Unexpectedly, within a few steps of entering the villa, a man reeking of alcohol staggered out from behind the screen wall, holding a wine gourd in one hand and grabbing the person in the other.

Coincidentally, Jia Wujue knew both of these two people.

The person who can get drunk in broad daylight is naturally Qiu Wanzhan, and the person he is holding is Li Yan, the master of Sword Dance Sect.

"Let me go!" Although she tried her best to restrain herself, Li Yan's fair face was flushed with anger, and she pressed her hand tightly on the scabbard.If it weren't for the scruples about the identities of himself and the other party, he might have drawn his sword and slashed at that restless hand long ago.

Qiu Wanzhan was unaware of the other party's anger, and while drinking wine with his head up, he talked drunken nonsense, a little beauty and a little brother, his eyes were blurred and his tongue straightened, but the hand holding Li Yan was How do not let go.

"Elder Qiu." Seeing the scene in front of him, Zhe Ri, who led the way, stopped and said to Qiu Wanzhan, "Master Li is a distinguished guest of the owner of the village, please invite Elder Qiu—"

Before he finished speaking, Qiu Wanzhan seemed to wake up, straightened his body in a jerk, looked at Li Yan, then at the three people in front of him, and suddenly let go of his hand, before everyone was defenseless. Next, Chao Jia Wujuan fell head-on.

"..." Jia Wujue supported Qiu Wanzhan's body with both hands. This person seemed to be completely drunk. There was nowhere in his body that was not relaxed, and there was no place where he could exert his strength. The whole person was completely supported by Jia Wujuan. fell to the ground.

At this moment, a black figure descended from the sky, dressed exactly like the sun, with a black mask covering his face, revealing a pair of eyes, but the token on the sword tassel was engraved with the word "Break water".

"You take Yue Shaoxia and his party to see the owner. I will take Master Li back to the guest room to rest, and I will be there later." Zang Ri said to Duan Shui.

Duan Shui nodded, said no more, and led Yue Chentan and the others to leave, leaving only Zhe Ri and Li Yan staying where they were.

"Master Li," as if he had swallowed gravel, his voice that covered the sun became a little hoarse, "please follow me."

Li Yan gave him a cold look, turned around and left.

"Master Li." Yan Ri seemed to be trying his best to bear something, and shouted in a low voice.

"What are you dawdling about? Aren't you going to lead the way? Hurry up and go." Li Yan finally stopped and glared at him.The tone was really unkind, and the expression was really unkind, but Zhe Ri seemed to be pardoned, the gap between his brows became a little lighter, and he hurriedly walked towards Li Yan.

When Jia Wukai carried Qiu Wanzhan, who was drunk like mud, and followed Yue Chentan into the lobby, both sides of the lobby were already full of people.Before he could see the faces of the people sitting here, the person who was still drunk like a dead pig suddenly jumped up, stood up straight, and said haha ​​to the people sitting there as if nothing had happened: "I'm sorry, Qiu came late I've kept you waiting." As he spoke, he sat majestically among the gang of beggars, facing Jia Wu's murderous stare, he just touched his nose with no shame on his face.

"It's okay, it doesn't matter if you're late, as long as Elder Qiu is still awake." A smiling voice came from the middle of the lobby.Jia Wujue looked up, and although the speaker was middle-aged, his complexion was ruddy and full of vigor, without any signs of aging, and his cultivation level could be seen. This person was Lu Changqi, the owner of Longyuan Villa.

Lu Changqi glanced at Qiu Wanzhan with a smile, and then turned his attention to Yue Chentan again: "This must be Yue Chentan, Yue Shaoxia. Hearing a hundred times is worth seeing once. He really is a boy born from a hero."

"Villa Master Lu's ridiculous praise." Yue Chentan said flatly, neither humble nor overbearing, neither surprised nor pleased.

His composure made Lu Changqi's eyes a little more appreciative, and then Lu Changqi looked at Jia Wujue, wondering, "I wonder if this young hero is..."

"I……"

Jia Wuyu opened his mouth to make up an identity, but he was suddenly interrupted by Yue Chentan, who only heard Yue Chentan say: "This is Luoshuanglou's clerk, hired to take care of my daily life these few days."

Lu Changqi looked at Jia Wuju up and down, frowned imperceptibly, and said, "Is Yue Shaoxia unwell? My villa lacks everything but people. If Yue Shaoxia needs it, just pick a few maids and servants." serve."

When Jia Wujue heard this, his heart tightened, if Yue Chentan really agreed to go down the slope, would it be possible that he would pack up and go back the same way?He came out in a hurry, and didn't bring the tools of disguise with him. If he wanted to change his identity and sneak into the villa, he really had to go back to Boxian Town again.

Just as he was secretly worried, Yue Chentan said, "It's okay, it's not a big deal. A monk shouldn't pay attention to these things. It's just a relapse of an old illness, so he had to do it." As he said, he glanced at Jia Wuju, He continued, "This guy has taken care of me for many days, and he is already familiar with all the chores. This time, he hastily let him come with me. Please forgive me, Master Lu."

When Lu Changqi heard the words, he didn't force it, nodded and said, "I'm sorry if you don't forgive me, you don't have to be polite. Since it's easy to use, if Yue Shaoxia wants to keep him, let him stay."

Others didn't mind listening to it, but these words fell into Jia Wuchai's ears, and after thinking about it for a while, they had mixed feelings.It's really disturbing that Master Lu used him as an object inside and out, but he can be said to be lovable, and naturally Yue Chentan's heart is lovable, which made him feel better.

Before he could be happy for a moment, a familiar and cold voice came from the side of the lobby: "Your Excellency looks familiar." It was still so cold, and still so icy, but it was such a ruthless voice that attracted everyone. All eyes are attracted to the speaker—the only one who is lonely and cold is Mei Dulin.

"This one," Jia Wuba opened his mouth, and said with some choice of words, "Guest officer, how can the little He De get into your eyes."

After saying this, he saw Yue Chentan cast a cool glance at him.

Too flattering?

Would you like to say a few more words?

It's a pity that Mei Dulin didn't give him this chance, ignoring Jia Wujue's answer, he stared straight at Jia Wujue's face and said, "Your Excellency's name."

"..." Jia Wujue tried to look at him for a moment, only to feel the chill and murderous aura hit his face, he immediately avoided his eyes and said, "Wu Qi."

"Wu Qi?" Mei Dulin repeated, wondering if Jia Wuju was dazzled, the other's tight lips seemed to bend, but it was fleeting.

"Not bad." After Mei Dulin said these two words, there was no more words.

What's good?Nice name or nice person?Could it be that the skill is good?Everyone present couldn't figure it out, only Yue Chentan took a meaningful look at Jia Wuchai.

After Yue Chentan took his seat, Jia Wujue looked around without a trace behind him, only to realize that the people in the hall were all famous figures in the martial arts world.Needless to say, Qiu Wanzhan and Mei Dulin, on the two sides closest to Lu Changqi, there were Shaolin monk Fayan and his party and Wudang Hanling Taoist priest respectively.The monk Fayan had a broad face, big ears, a straight nose and a square mouth, and the Baihui acupoint on the top of his head was slightly protruding, he looked like a person with abundant internal energy.Besides, Daoist Hanling, unlike the majestic tiger with a strict law, this person is quite gentle, with a smooth face that does not reveal his age, and his robes are high-knotted.

As if aware of Jia Wuzhen's gaze, Han Ling glanced in his direction, but only for a moment, Jia Wuzhen felt that his whole body had been cut to pieces by the other party's gaze.

At this time, Qiu Wanzhan said with a smile: "Master Lu specially asked us to come, but for tomorrow's sword appreciation meeting? If that's the case, Master Lu doesn't have to worry. Brother Fa Yan and Brother Han Ling are here. Nothing big can go wrong."

If these words came from ordinary people, it would be disrespectful to Monk Fayan and Daoist Hanling, but when Qiu Wanzhan said it, not only was it not disrespectful, but it was more intimate and familiar.

Sure enough, Monk Fayan said, "Hunqiu, don't put all the blame on the Sa family."

Daoist Han Ling raised his eyebrows, but did not speak.

Lu Changqi coughed lightly, and said in a deep voice: "Actually, Mr. Lu specially invited everyone to come to the lobby for a gathering, one is for tomorrow's sword appreciation meeting, and the other is because..." He hesitated for a moment, and then said: "Zhai Xingjian."

"Oh?" Mei Dulin said coldly, "It's another Star Picking Paper."

Lu Changqi nodded: "I think you all know that every sword appreciation conference will have a lot of magical weapons. This time, Lu also wants to make a fool of himself and show Zhuang Zhong's newly forged weapons at the conference."

"The newly forged weapon is naturally what you seek in the Star Picking Paper." Daoist Han Ling said clearly.

"That's right." Lu Changqi frowned, "Although there are many people in the village, and there are guards guarding the Jiange, Lu is a little worried after all, but the star pickers appear and disappear."

"What's so special about that newly cast weapon?" Yue Chentan asked.

"Everyone also knows that the treasure of this village is a remnant book of the eight swords of the king of Yue," Lu Changqi said, "that newly forged weapon was forged from the remnant book of swords."

Mei Dulin had a rare look of interest when he heard the words: "What sword did you forge?"

"Turn soul." Lu Changqi said.

"It is said that when Zhuanpo comes out, the universe is turned upside down, and the soul is scattered." Mei Dulin pondered for a moment, then asked again: "Is this really the case?"

Lu Changqi's expression changed for some reason, and then he concealed a smile and said, "Now that Zhuanpo is still in the furnace, it's still unknown whether it's true or not."

"It hasn't been cast yet?" Qiu Wanzhan was a little surprised.

Lu Changqi said with a smile: "The right time, place and people are indispensable for the sword casting method. If there is a slight mistake, the success will fall short. As far as Zhuanpo is concerned, the best time to take shape is tomorrow's time."

"So that's how it is." Monk Fa Yan patted his head, "Vendor Master Lu can rest assured, after the sword appreciation ceremony tomorrow, the Sa family and his party will help you guard the sword pavilion, and it will be safe. Besides," he looked at Yue Chentan He said confidently, "Even if something goes wrong, with my brother-in-law here, I will definitely be able to make up for it."

Lu Changqi's eyes flashed, and he cupped his fists and said, "So, Lu, thank you all in advance."

Everyone chatted for a while, and a black figure suddenly appeared beside Lu Changqi, whispering to him for a moment.After Lu Changqi nodded slightly, the black shadow disappeared from everyone's sight in the blink of an eye.

"It's so fast." Qiu Wanzhan praised.

Lu Changqi laughed: "It's just a guard in the village, he still has some skills."

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard a burst of laughter like silver bells coming from outside the door, and a fiery figure appeared at the entrance of the lobby—it was Li Yan who had been entangled by Qiu Wanzhan just now.

She walked straight into the lobby, glanced at Qiu Wanzhan who was half leaning on the arhat chair, curled her lips and said, "Master Lu, why should you be overly modest? I have long heard that the four guards of Longyuan have extraordinary martial arts. When I saw it today, it really is extraordinary." .”

"Master Li is too famous." Lu Changqi said indifferently, "It's just that he is better than ordinary guards, but he doesn't dare to make a fool of himself in front of heroes."

Li Yan snorted, but it was a simple nasal sound, but it revealed a smell that was half coquettish and half ashamed, coupled with her swaying figure, if she was not strong enough, her heart would already be shaking at this moment Can't help myself.

"Master Li came to the Sword Appreciation Conference this time, what magic weapon did he bring?" Qiu Wanzhan looked at Li Yan and asked with a smile, as if he had never pestered Li Yan with a calm look.

"It's nothing more than four broken swords, they're not magic weapons." Li Yan said casually.

"Oh?" Yue Chentan looked at her when he heard the words, "But the four of the eight swords of the King of Yue in the rumors?"

Li Yan smiled lightly, and looked at Yue Chentan with a little more interest: "It's the four handles of Shocking Salamander, Miehun, Quexie, and Zhengang. It's just that the ancients are so damaged that even if I work hard to restore them, I'm afraid I won't be able to restore them." Compared with famous utensils in the world."

"You..." Lu Changqi just said a word, then hurriedly changed his words, "Listen to Sect Master Li's words, and you actually repaired those four ancient swords?"

Li Yan smiled and said: "What? Master Lu suspects that my words are false? Although Jianwumen is not a master of sword making, there are many swordsmiths in the rivers and lakes. How does Master Lu know that Jianwumen can't invite you?" How about some pointers?"

"Lu Mou didn't mean that." Lu Changqi knew that he had made a slip of the tongue and hurriedly said.

"It's okay." Li Yan smiled, and said indifferently, "Tomorrow's sword appreciation meeting, everyone will know at a glance." After she finished speaking, she seemed to glance at everyone inadvertently, "I just hope that nothing will go wrong when the time comes." good."

That night.

There was a strong wind, and the showers never stopped.

Jia Wubai leaned against the window and listened attentively. Under the reflection of the candlelight, his side face became less mischievous and more calm.Besides him, there was another person sitting in the room, with his eyes closed and his breath held, sitting in lotus position, it was naturally Yue Chentan.

"A few more carriages have entered the village." Even if the rain was violent and the wind was violent, Jia Wujue could still hear the sound of carriages passing by.

"Tomorrow is the Sword Appreciation Conference, naturally many guests will come tonight." Yue Chentan's eyes were slightly closed, but he responded.

"Of course there are a lot of people coming," Jia Wu rubbed his chin and said, "It's just that there are many sects in Jianghu, but not many people can be invited by Longyuan Villa to settle in the village, and most of them settle in Boxian Town. He counted his fingers unconsciously, "As far as I just heard, there are at least three different sects."

"The imperial court."

Jia Wukai's eyes lit up, he looked at Yue Chentan eagerly and said, "Yes! Although the Sword Appreciation Conference is a grand event in the world, it is a common practice that there are many people from temples among the participants in each session, and it is impossible for Longyuan Villa not to invite them. "

Although Yue Chentan closed his eyes, he could still feel the scorching gaze of the other party. He pursed his lips, as if deliberately suppressing the urge to turn up the corners of his mouth, and said indifferently: "There are also the Ten Commandments of Luo."

"He's here too?" Jia Wuchai asked in surprise.

"He has an old friendship with Longyuan Villa." Yue Chentan said, "He also knows about the matter of picking up the star paper."

After saying this, there was no sound in the house for a long time.Yue Chentan opened his eyes and looked at Jia Wuhai: "What's the matter?"

Jia Wuhu opened his mouth, and said dryly, "Are you willing to tell me..."

This was said without thinking, but Yue Chentan understood what he meant.This man is bold and reckless at certain times, and extremely cowardly at other times.On the one hand, he pretended to be shameless and wanted to "reconcile" with himself, on the other hand, he was shy and afraid to face himself.

Seeing the cautious look of the other party, Yue Chentan sighed, and walked towards Jia Wuchai involuntarily.The slender figure covered the candlelight, casting a shadow in front of Jia Wuchai.In the semi-darkness, the eyes of the visitor were like stars, cold and bright.

Jia Wuchai leaned back until he touched the edge of the window and couldn't avoid it: "You, what are you doing here?" The usually eloquent man became a little hesitant at this moment.

Yue Chentan finally stopped moving forward, and stood straight in front of him, looking down at him condescendingly: "Originally, this matter can be discussed later, but it can be seen from your appearance, it's better to make it clear."

"Say...what?" Jia Wuju was full of doubts.

"Why did you come to me?" Yue Chentan stared at Jia Wuhai, his thin lips opened and closed like a knife, cutting open his flesh and blood, piercing his heart.

Although Jia Wujue felt that there was something wrong with Yue Chentan at the moment, he still said honestly: "I want to apologize to you. Although I lied to you intentionally, I didn't have any malicious intentions. I have to follow the rules of the valley, and it's not just for you. so……"

"Oh?" Yue Chentan frowned, "Since I'm not the only one, why bother to find me?"

Jia Wuhai lowered his head, his throat moved, as if he had made up his mind, he raised his head and said non-stop, "I don't have many friends, most of them I know in the valley. Friends outside the valley, you are the first one. I haven’t made friends outside the valley before, so I don’t know what to do and what to do, please forgive me if it makes you angry. I don’t really want to hide from you, and I don’t want to lose you as a friend.”

Hearing this, Yue Chentan's expression softened a bit: "I am your first friend?"

Jia Wuchao nodded.

"Then who is the second one?" Yue Chentan folded his arms and asked.

Jia Wuhao scratched his head: "It hasn't been decided yet."

"Not in a hurry."

"Oh." Jia Wuhao nodded emphatically, and then he seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and said casually: "You have forgiven me, and I said you are not so stingy."

As soon as the words fell, Yue Chentan said coolly: "Stingy?"

Jia Wuchai looked up at his face, and quickly said: "I said no, you are not stingy."

But Yue Chentan seemed to be obsessed with these two words: "Why did you think I was stingy before that?"

"Just..." Jia Wujue said while observing his expression, "In fact, ordinary friends don't communicate with each other, and everyone has some secrets that are not known to outsiders."

"Since you said that you are ordinary friends," Yue Chentan was not annoyed after hearing this, and said slowly, "Of course we are not."

"Ah?" Jia Wuzhen was puzzled again, "Then what are we?"

"Do you know what it means to treat each other with sincerity and what it means to treat each other with sincerity?" Yue Chentan asked back.

Jia Wujue thought for a while, then said: "But there are rules in the valley..."

Before he could finish speaking, Yue Chentan interrupted: "It's the rules of the valley, but you are not allowed to reveal your identities?"

Jia Wuchao nodded.

"I guessed your identity, you didn't reveal it on your own initiative, so it's not a violation." Yue Chentan calmly said.

Jia Wujue thought about it for a while, and thought it was quite reasonable, he hurriedly expressed his determination: "In the future, I will definitely treat Brother Yue with sincerity, and treat him wholeheartedly!"

Yue Chentan curled the corner of his mouth, and finally revealed a shallow smile: "It should be like this."

After saying this, he took a step back, finally giving Jia Wucha some room to breathe.

When he was approaching just now, Jia Wujue didn't feel much, but now that he took a few steps back, Jia Wujua realized that the two of them were so close just now, so close that their breaths intertwined and their heartbeats coincided.He didn't know what to think of, his face flushed suddenly, suddenly flushed, and he raised his head in embarrassment.

"What?" Yue Chentan saw his discomfort, but he didn't intend to pretend he didn't see it.

Jia Wuchai raised his head, as if he had seen the narrowness and shallow smile in Yue Chentan's eyes. Looking at it this way, he felt even more uncomfortable, so he said in a rough voice: "Yue Chentan Brother, I just don’t feel used to it.”

"Oh?" Yue Chentan didn't explain, as if he was waiting for his next words.

"It's normal for Brother Yue to ignore me, but now I'm not used to getting close." Jia Wujue made excuses for his discomfort.

Yue Chentan nodded understandingly, and then asked: "Do you know why?" The tone was quite persuasive.

Jia Wujue answered as expected: "Why?"

"I used to speculate on the essentials of Buddhism, thinking that cutting off afflictions, abandoning greed and hatred, and leaving samsara means being alone, staying away from the world, and crossing people by oneself." Yue Chentan said.

Seeing Jia Wuchai's half-understood gaze, Yue Chentan's gaze softened, and continued: "I realized later that if there is nothing to dislike, how can I be born? If there is nothing to admire, how can I enter the Tao? The Buddha has tasted everything. There are all kinds of flavors in life to prove the right way, let alone my generation?"

Hearing this, Jia Wujue seemed to realize something suddenly, with joy on his face, but then he pursed his lips and said, "I've been talking for a long time, Brother Yue entered the world just to be born." He sighed and said, "It's like Knowing the taste of good wine and then restraining the urge to drink is called abstaining from alcohol, knowing the deliciousness of meat and then becoming a vegetarian is called abstaining from meat, for a reason.”

"You understand well." Yue Chentan said with some approval in his tone, "There is only one thing wrong."

"where?"

"Being born is not the goal, but proving the Tao is."

"What's the difference?" Jia Wuhai scratched his head in depression, "Anyway, they are both monks and monks."

When Yue Chentan heard the words, he just looked at Jia Wuchai quietly and didn't explain much.

Jia Wujue was embarrassed by him, coughed dryly, and said: "When will the cold poison of Yimengwan be cured?"

"Although the Yimeng Pill is very cold and poisonous, it is not without benefits." Yue Chentan wrote lightly, as if the severe toxicity that flared up from time to time was just a child's play. The pill is highly toxic and penetrates all the limbs, but it helped me open up the meridian, which is also a blessing in disguise."

Jia Wu deceived and said with regret, "There must be other milder ways to open up the meridians, so why use such tiger and wolf medicine. It's all my fault, if it didn't fall into Wu Yu's hands, you don't have to..." He didn't continue talking, but his self-blame was beyond words.

"You don't need to blame yourself." Yue Chentan said, "You are very smart, but your martial arts are poor." He paused, with a slight smile on his lips, "Your martial arts are poor, even if you can see through Wu Chou's scheme earlier , I am afraid that it will be difficult to subdue it with the strength of one person."

"Hey." Jia Wujue said helplessly, "I'll tell you the truth, I'm really not interested in boxing kung fu, I only learned some life-saving kung fu. If you want to talk about the kung fu of running away from battle, it's first-class, fighting with others , that is absolutely impossible.”

"It's okay, there is a specialization in martial arts." Yue Chentan seemed to comfort him, "You don't learn Kung Fu for the purpose of becoming a king, but for the purpose of getting something out of your pocket."

Jia Wujue originally felt that he had been somewhat comforted by hearing Yue Chentan's words, but now the more he listened to it, the more he felt something was wrong. When he looked up, he did not miss the other party's half-hearted joke, and immediately said: "Brother Yue, is this comforting me or not?" Laughing at me?"

Seeing his tangled expression, Yue Chentan couldn't bear it any longer, and bent his eyebrows and eyes: "The Buddha said, don't say it."

That smile, in the calm and solemn eyebrows, looked very moving.

Like the red lotus after the rain, it comes gracefully from the small order.

The morning after the heavy rain was clear and cloudless.The Sword Appreciation Conference has not yet started, and the dojo is already surrounded by people.The ashram is located in the middle of Longyuan Mountain Villa, with its back against the steep mountains and facing the high mountains. There are waterfalls on the east and west sides. Floating curls, like a fairyland.

There is a saying that there is no way in the world to go to the fairy house, and it takes a lot of effort to get on the dojo.This dojo is not only beautiful in scenery, but also steep in terrain. Although it is located in a mountain villa, it is located on a solitary peak.There is no mountain road connecting with other mountains, and there is no suspension bridge leading to other peaks. If you want to get here, unless you have good lightness kung fu, there is no way.

Choosing this place for the Sword Appreciation Conference is both a screening and a test.

The Sword Appreciation Conference is well-known, and it will naturally attract many people from all corners of the country, but among these people, there are heroes and reckless people, real heroes and fake knights. It is really troublesome to screen them one by one. Not a low level.Furthermore, those who come to participate in the Sword Appreciation Conference are less likely to fight alone, and more to three to five percent. If a group of people go up the mountain, it means that the group is strong and should not be underestimated. If there are only one or two people If you fight in the dojo, it is naturally insignificant and need not be taken into account.

In this way, those who have successfully ascended to the dojo have a sense of comparing each other, and the competition that was originally only in the dark is now on the bright side.

As soon as Jia Wujue and Yue Chentan arrived at the dojo, they heard many people outside the crowd talking.

"A lot of people really came to this sword appreciation meeting, tsk tsk, did you see that even the people from the Imperial Division came here?"

"Keep your voice down, or they will find a way to catch you in."

"What are you afraid of? I didn't say anything outrageous. Besides, the Yingbu is not the Tengbu. They are fair."

"How do you know they are the Eagles?"

"Didn't you see the eagle embroidered on the clothes? The Eagle Department can't be wrong."

Jia Wujue followed their positions, and sure enough, he saw a group of people dressed in official uniforms, with a wild goose feather knife inserted into their backs, standing straight like a bamboo like a pine. The dragon gun is enough to explain his identity - Suo Luzheng.

"It turned out to be him." Jia Wuhai whispered, "I didn't expect to see him here."

"En." Yue Chentan nodded, "The people who travel with him must be skilled."

There are 20 people in Yuqiansi's small team, and Suo Luzheng is not too many, and there are 20 people following him, which means that all the people in the team have come to the dojo.

Jia Wujue stared at the dojo for a moment and said, "Vendor Master Lu has also arrived."

Lu Changqi was talking with Suo Luzheng with a friendly smile on his face, followed by four masked guards, two of whom were the Sunshine and Cutoffs that he had seen before.

"Brother Yue, in your opinion, how about the ability to cover the sun and cut off the water?" Jia Wujue said in a low voice.

"Swordsmanship cannot be judged, only body technique, which is already perfect."

"How does it compare to me?" Jia Wuhai asked again.

Yue Chentan's eyebrows clustered together, and he immediately said, "Are you suspicious of them?"

Jia Wujue rolled his eyes: "It's not doubtful, I'm just curious."

"Oh?"

"Li Yan said that Jianwumen has the four swords of Shocking Salamander, and the remnants of the Eight Swords of Longyuan Villa should be the four swords of Covering the Sun, Cutting off Water, Turning the Soul, and Hanging Jian. But among these four swords, Longyuan Villa only It’s a little strange to choose Zhuanpo.” Jia Wujue thought for a while, and then said, “Furthermore, you may have noticed the swords of the two guards, Biri and Duanshui. Forged from the map? If it is true, why did Longyuan Villa keep it secret?"

"Xiang Gong's sword dance is aimed at Pei Gong." Yue Chentan spat out eight words lightly.

Jia Wu cheated and touched his chin, but he didn't know if he heard it.

After the sound of the gong, the Sword Appreciation Conference officially began.The owner of the village, Lu Changqi, walked into the center of the dojo first, and bowed his hands slightly to the surroundings: "Thanks to all the heroes who valued you, and came here to appreciate your face. Not much to say, this conference will still follow the old rules. You can choose one of the spectrum weapons to challenge, and if you want to change the ranking of the spectrum weapons, you can also choose an opponent to challenge." After finishing speaking, he looked around and raised his voice, "It's just that this sword appreciation conference focuses on rewarding words. , not for the sake of fighting for strength, but hope that all the heroes will come to an end."

Before the words fell, there was a sneer from the air, a group of strange-looking people descended from the sky, and the leader laughed the loudest.When he settled down, everyone took a closer look, only to find that although this man was tall and dressed in men's clothing, his face was covered with heavy makeup, his eyes were like silk, his red lips were like fire, and it was difficult to distinguish between male and female.When he opened his mouth, the voice was neither yin nor yang, half feminine and half masculine, it was really hard to figure out.

"Why does Master Lu have to be so hypocritical? In the history of competition for the ranking of artifacts, either you die or I die. Why do you just stop at the end." After speaking, he smiled at everyone, with a slightly ambiguous and seductive tone: " Do you think what I said makes sense?"

Lu Changqi was not annoyed by his rebuttal, and said politely, "I don't know who you are?"

"Tiancangu, Lin Luanpo." The visitor smiled slightly and said unhurriedly.

As soon as the words Tiancangu came out, the crowd exploded like a pot, buzzing with each other.

Tiancangu is the martial arts sect that is most difficult to get in touch with, and the most difficult to win over evil ways.It is both good and evil, neither clinging to orthodoxy nor partial to crooked ways.It kills and also saves people, it robs and distributes wealth.If the most elusive sect in the Jianghu is Zhaixinggu, then the most elusive sect must be Tiancangu.

The sky is crippling and the sky is crippling, and if the sky wants to cripple me, I will let it go.

People in Tiancangu have more or less physical defects, but such defects will not be their hindrances, but rather help them, allowing them to practice martial arts that others cannot learn.

Lin Luanpo was holding a jasper flute, only about six inches long, before everyone had time to react, they saw that between his hands flipping over and over again, a [-]-inch sword edge protruded from both ends of the jasper flute, the edge was as thin as paper, It was cold.

In the blink of an eye, the weapon that looked like a flute and a sword had already attacked Lu Changqi.Lu Changqi flicked back, and with a twist of his palm, he pulled out a black tiger's heart, but Lin Luanpo retreated calmly, and flew into the air lightly like a kite.Just as he was drifting farther and farther away, and his face was blurred, he only heard a crisp flute sound blowing from the air, and the cheerful notes rushed into the ears of everyone.

At this moment, someone finally came to his senses and hurriedly said "No", before the words fell, the person's face was already purple, and he collapsed straight to the ground. If someone breathed in his nose, it would have been too much air intake and less exhalation.

People in the dojo fell down one by one, but the sound of the flute did not stop.Long and short, hurried and slow, sometimes it is a long time blowing through the clouds and mountains, and sometimes it is a sad one blowing a curtain of autumn.
