Chapter 137 The top masters ask for the classics of the Sword Pavilion

Yanzhou.

It is the center of Great Yan, and it is also the richest and most powerful place for martial arts. However, in Yanzhou, martial arts sects are not prosperous. This is because under the emperor's feet, the imperial power is supreme. Various imperial institutions work together to cultivate warriors, and martial arts schools are scattered all over. , in addition, the armies of all parties will continue to recruit fresh blood here.

In Tai'an, the imperial capital, there are many heavyweights.

General Yanwu's Mansion.

The mansion does not have much grandeur, but the distance between it and the palace shows its status. The eight warriors at the door are like sculptures, and their ferocious aura makes people dare not look away.

General Yanwu, this is a true legend in the Great Yan military.

He was famous all over the world two hundred years ago, and today, his martial arts cultivation is even more unfathomable, ranking second in the list of heavenly beings.

Although it is second.

But in the eyes of Great Yan Wan's soldiers, he is the well-deserved number one.

The ranking of the Celestial Beings is almost always based on past achievements.

The top three positions on the list of heavenly beings have not been touched for a long time, except for the sudden rise of the Sword Demon, who killed the third one and replaced him. It is actually hard to say who is stronger than who. After all, if the two sides do not fight, they will never fight. There is no way to know the outcome.

A figure in armor stopped in front of General Yanwu's mansion, with a hint of awe in his eyes.

The warriors who looked like sculptures saluted respectfully:

"I've seen General Shen Yu!"

General Shenyu waved his hand slightly, and then stepped in.

Under the leadership of his servant, he walked around seven or eight long corridors. General Shenyu looked at them all the way and stopped in front of a courtyard. The servant said:

"General Shenyu and General Yanwu are waiting for you inside."

General Shenyu took a deep breath and walked through the courtyard gate. His eyes suddenly opened up. The breeze was blowing and the green lake water was rippled. A figure was vaguely visible in the octagonal pavilion in the lake. It was an old man in casual clothes. He had awe in his eyes. The color became more and more intense, so he walked slowly.

Although they both have the title of general, he knows that he is very immature in front of the other party.

This can be seen from the fact that Yanwu is the title.

General Shenyu walked slowly, fearing to disturb the old man who was fishing.

He stood behind the old man with his hands down respectfully without any impatience.

Half an hour later.

The fishing rod sank in the old man's hand, and he showed joy on his face. He quickly pulled up the fishing rod, but the fish seemed a bit heavy and struggled hard, and the old man found it difficult.

"Shenyu, help me."

General Shen Yu quickly grabbed the fishing rod together. He did not dare to use any martial arts power, and even his physical strength was only maintained at the level of ordinary people. The two of them worked together, and the fishing rod finally bounced up, and a fat fish Jumping up in the sun, the fish's scales sparkled.

The big fish landed in the pavilion, but stopped struggling and seemed to be trembling.

"General, what a great harvest!" General Shenyu praised.

General Yanwu just smiled slightly.

He looked at his trophy with admiration, rubbed the fish scales some more, and finally picked it up with some difficulty and threw it into the lake. The breeze blew through his white hair, and there were beads of sweat on his forehead, which looked like... He is an ordinary old man, and his movements are not even that agile.

But General Shenyu did not dare to look down upon him in the slightest.

He knew that this was related to General Yanwu's training.

The two sat opposite each other.

General Yanwu looked at the water in the lake and sighed:

"The world is like this lake, and all living beings like us are the fish in this lake. No matter whether they are big fish or small fish, it is extremely difficult to transcend by relying on oneself. But if we rely on external forces to jump out of the lake, we can only become a pole for others. The things in it live and die according to other people’s wishes.”

General Shenyu listened carefully. He felt that there was some profound meaning in the other party's words, but he couldn't understand it. He was far from reaching that level yet.

He could only think carefully and said:

"But people like the general have naturally jumped out of the lake long ago."

General Yanwu smiled:

"How could I know that after leaving this lake, I wouldn't have entered a bigger lake?"

General Shenyu was speechless, feeling that nothing he said was right.

General Yanwu shook his head and laughed. He changed the topic and talked about the recent events that shocked the world:

"What do you think of the Heavenly Sword Master?"

General Shenyu's body was slightly shaken. When he came, he had already considered the many possibilities of General Yanwu calling him here. He didn't expect that it was really about Tianjian Zhenren. Thinking of the recent rumors, he was a little surprised in his heart.

"General, are you referring to the recent battle between Tianjian Zhenren and Wenxinjian?"

General Yanwu took a sip of tea.

General Shenyu immediately understood. How could General Yanwu not know the unusual news?

"During the battle to annihilate the Dead Fire Abyss branch, an elder from the Demon Sect fled to Zhenwu Mountain. At that time, Master Tianjian made his first move. That time, the Heavenly Sword flew across the sky and severely wounded Old Demon Lin. It was also the first time that he established the reputation of Master Tianjian.”

"But...it's a bit unreasonable. With the strength of Master Tianjian, he should be able to kill Old Demon Lin easily that time, but he didn't."

He hesitated.

"There are two possibilities, either, that was the only strength he had back then."

"Either it is that he has been hiding before."

General Yanwu looked calm:

"Which one do you think is more likely?"

General Shenyu said:

"I think the latter is more likely. How could someone soar from the bottom of the Heavenly Man List to the top ten in just a few years? But this shows that this Heavenly Sword Master does not like to deal with our court. He may have hidden his strength just because he did not want to be disturbed by the court."

He narrowed his eyes and remembered the excuse of Taoist Longshan.

"What do you think of his current strength?"

This time, General Shenyu hesitated.

"Being able to kill the Heart-Searching Sword so easily, he must be at least in the top ten. As for higher, I am not sure."

General Yanwu smiled:

"Then I tell you, even the Sun-Chasing Sword King cannot do it so easily against the Heart-Searching Sword."

General Shenyu was immediately shocked.

This means that in the eyes of General Yanwu, Heavenly Sword Master is already qualified to challenge the world's number one swordsman, and may even be the world's number one swordsman in his heart!

General Shenyu cannot fully understand the details of these peerless masters in the top ten of the Heavenly Man List, but since General Yanwu said so, it is definitely true.

He couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Is Tianjian Zhenren so strong?"

General Yanwu sighed:

"Tianjian Zhenren is not simple, maybe he is the fish that can jump out of the lake."

"People say that his life span is not much, but they don't know that the closer the end of a person is, the more courage and courage ordinary people can't reach."

He stood up and stared at the lake, as if he saw the general situation of the world and many disputes through the lake.

"Now the Demon Sect is constantly moving, and it has even formed an alliance with Nanjiang. In this troubled time, Tianjian Zhenren is an anomaly. Such an existence is best tied to the chariot of our court."

General Shenyu's pupils shrank, but he couldn't help but say:

"General, the Demon Sect is just a jumping clown. When it comes to the critical moment, Master Wusheng..."

Before he finished speaking, General Yanwu turned his head and looked at him, which made him feel turbulent.

That means... Master Wusheng may not be able to guarantee it?

Is there something wrong with the Martial Saint, or do the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang have a way to deal with the Martial Saint?

General Yanwu said faintly:

"No matter what the reason is, the Heavenly Sword Master rejects our court, at least he can't turn to the Southern Xinjiang side. Fortunately, the Demon Sect and Southern Xinjiang seem to be hostile to the Zhenwu Sect. Shenyu, you go to find out about this matter, and stay in Qingzhou from now on."

General Shenyu said respectfully:

"Yes!"

He turned and left, but from just a few words, he knew that the Heavenly Sword Master was far more powerful than he imagined, and his significance to the court was also very important.

General Yanwu sighed softly, he turned his head to look in the direction of the palace, and picked up the fishing rod again.

"I just hope you can wake up soon."

...

Sunset Sword Sect.

Sword King Peak.

The endless burial ground of swords.

Figures were waiting outside respectfully.

"Ancestor, this is the situation. Now everyone is saying that Tianjian Zhenren has the qualifications to challenge the world's number one swordsman. Humph, it's really nonsense. If you, the ancestor, hadn't taken action for a long time, how could Tianjian Zhenren show his power?"

"Even if he killed the Heart-Questioning Sword, how can he be compared with you, the ancestor?"

A series of indignant voices rang out.

Tianjian Zhenren's reputation was so great that many people felt that he had the qualifications to be among the top five in the world, so they couldn't help but compare him with the Sun-Chasing Sword King. Some of Tianjian Zhenren's loyal fans even felt that even the Sun-Chasing Sword King was not his opponent, which naturally made the people of the Sunset Sword Sect very unhappy.

Before this.

Thanks to the Sun-Chasing Sword King's suppression of the sword for 160 years.

The Sunset Sword Sect has gradually gained the reputation of the first holy land of the sword, but now, this title has undoubtedly begun to waver again.

"Especially the Zhenwu Sect pretending to be generous and opening up the Zhenwu Sword Monument and the Wandao Tower is simply meaningless. When their unique skills are known to the world one day in the future, I am afraid that will be the time when the Zhenwu Sect is annihilated."

It has to be said.

The Zhenwu Sect's move also made many sects secretly unhappy, because it would inevitably be compared with others, making them look very narrow-minded.

Everyone said.

There was a sudden movement in the depths of the sword burial ground.

The layers of sword intent were vibrating, gathering into a huge voice:

"Do you want me to take action?"

Hearing the anger in the voice, everyone knelt on the ground in fear.

"Ancestor, we dare not. We just want the Sun-Chasing Sword Sect to completely establish its position as the first holy land of swordsmanship!"

The huge voice was filled with a sense of regret:

"A bunch of useless things!"

"How can the first holy land of swordsmanship be achieved by standing on the shoulders of others? The iron must be hard to forge, otherwise, even if it barely stands in that position, it will be pulled down sooner or later! I have been in seclusion for many years, how could I not know that the atmosphere in the sect has become like this now, I should be punished!"

Everyone was sweating profusely and pleaded guilty again and again.

The voice finally calmed down.

"Master Tianjian? I didn't expect that in just a few decades, such a powerful figure would appear in the world. He condensed his own sword intent for the world to comprehend. It is really a good method and courage. I am ashamed of myself. This world is indeed wonderful."

Everyone was shocked.

Someone couldn't help asking:

"Ancestor, is it possible that even you are not the opponent of Master Tianjian..."

He was still trembling with fear when he said this.

The Sun-Chasing Sword King's voice was calm and without ripples:

"If it was before, maybe not, but now, it's still unclear who will win."

"But maybe not, so what. You guys must remember, if you only care about a mere fame, how can you climb the peak of swordsmanship? Even if you become the best swordsman in the world, what's the use? We swordsmen should be determined. Since we have entered the door of swordsmanship, naturally If you want to move towards the highest peak, you will be nothing more than an ant if you don't become a sword master."

Everyone was ashamed. Someone's eyes lit up and asked:

"Ancestor, could it be that you have already taken that step?"

Sun Chaser Sword King's voice was a little lonely:

"It's so difficult. I just have a few clues. I wish I could live for another thousand years."

He continued:

"Master Tianjian has courage. I think his move of erecting the Zhenwu Sword Monument is very good. It has inspired me. I can imitate him in the future. You should not be jealous and should be modest. Only in this way can I, Sunset Sword Sect, pass on the inheritance. After a long time, like Wenjian Pavilion, one mountain will be higher than the other, and there will be a time when it will fall into a place of eternal destruction. "

After some earnest instruction, everyone bowed their heads. The layers of sword intent were thought-provoking and made them understand their impatience in recent years.

"Thank you, ancestor, for the tip!"

Sun Chaser Sword King’s voice gradually fell silent:

"There are people like Tianjian Zhenren in the world of swordsmanship. I am not alone in my path. After I come out of seclusion, I will go visit and have a discussion. I am so lucky to have a companion."

Everyone was ashamed.

Check out the 16-9 book bar to see the correct version!

I originally thought that my ancestor would be displeased with someone being compared with me, but now I know that my ancestor's realm is beyond the reach of myself and others.

…

A hill.

The old man with messy hair walked by barefoot, and you could see through the faint cracks in his hair that the old man's eyes were very cold, with the kind of crazy indifference.

"Unfortunately, there is only one bad old man!"

There was a burst of laughter.

Bandits emerged from various places in the forest one after another. They looked at the old man in front of them unscrupulously. While spitting, someone laughed and said:

"Come here, old man, and dig into your uncle Liu's crotch!"

Everyone laughed.

"I didn't expect you, Leopard Liu, would be okay with this."

Leopard Liu laughed out loud:

"Don't you know this? The old man is just as clever as the old man."

Everyone laughed even more cheerfully.

But the old man seemed to turn a deaf ear.

Still moving on.

The sound of bare feet scraping against fallen leaves and gravel was a little loud in the forest, and it made everyone even more angry.

Leopard Liu was angry:

"What a fool, it turned out to be a lunatic and a deaf man."

He held the machete and took one step forward to chop the old man alive.

The old man finally moved. He glanced at the leper Liu Rushi in the ice cellar. What a pair of eyes those were, with a terrifying demonic quality that made people sink. He vaguely read from those eyes that you are also worthy of a knife. meaning, and then fell into complete silence.

The old man walked barefoot.

All the commotion in the forest stopped, and each bandit turned into a sculpture. After the old man passed completely, the sculptures were filled with blood lines from their foreheads, and turned into pieces of broken bodies with incredible precision.

The old man raised the dark object in his hand, and his eyes finally changed.

You can vaguely see that it seems to be the handle of a knife.

Originally, it was an unparalleled divine sword, but now, only the hilt remains.

This is the old man's way.

If even the hilt of the sword is completely gone, that will be the day when his sword skills are perfected.

However, this is a bit difficult, and he needs to find a suitable way.

The old man continued walking in the mountains and forests, somewhat aimlessly. When he passed a teahouse, someone glanced at the crazy old man, then looked away and continued talking:

"Speaking of it, the Heavenly Sword Master only used the sword stele to trigger the thunder from the sky, and turned it into thirty-six peerless heavenly swords. He killed the Wenxin Sword of the 14th Heavenly Man Ranking. The sword came out of nowhere, and was almost inferior to the Sword Demon back then. The horror of killing the third person on the list of heavenly beings!”

"In my opinion, the current Tianjian Zhenren not only has the strength to compete with the Zhuri Sword King as the best swordsman in the world, but maybe even the Sword Demon has hope of fighting him."

The old man's movements paused, a rare clarity appeared in his eyes, and some long-standing memories finally came to mind.

"Master Tianjian...?"

he muttered.

Suddenly I knew how to make the hilt of my knife completely 'disappear'.

…

Bustling town.

The blind storyteller recounted his recent experiences.

When talking about the battle between the Heavenly Sword Master and the Wenxin Sword, it is inevitable to add fuel to the fire. Tens of thousands of Heavenly Swords flew across the sky, tearing the void, while the Wenxin Sword pierced the earth with one sword. The two fought, and the sky was dark and the earth was dark. In the end, the Wenxin Sword was defeated. Beheaded by Master Tianjian.

Everyone enjoyed it.

He kept shouting, "Come on, come on, come on."

The blind old man chuckled:

"In that case, I will tell you the story of the Heaven-Slaying Martial Saint from my hometown. I promise it will be even more exciting than the previous one!"

Everyone applauded.

The blind old man spoke.

But his thoughts were inevitably a little turbulent.

"Master Tianjian? Appeared out of nowhere? Interesting... I just wonder if he is an old friend?"

He smiled.

I thought maybe I could go and see the Zhenwu Sword Monument if I have time.

For some reason, he thought of the young man who listened to his story in the rain.

Over the years, there were few people he could not see through.

That young man was one of them.

But he doesn't like to pry into other people's secrets, just as he doesn't like others to pry into his secrets.

Someone noticed that he was distracted and quickly urged:

"What happened next? Where did the Tianzhan Martial Saint go?"

The old man smiled and said:

"It is said... that he was punished by heaven and was picked up by a girl. Later he married a wife and had children..."

…

Great inflammation of the world.

They were all discussing the matter of Master Tianjian, and even some old monsters who were deeply hidden were alarmed.

Most people in the world are just watching the excitement and think that Tianjian Zhenren killed Wenxin Sword and is very strong, but they have no idea of ​​how strong it is. Only those who have reached that point know.

Tianjian Zhenren has truly stood at the top of the list of warriors.

Each of the many glances has its own meaning.

Many top sects, Great Yan Imperial Court, Demon Sect, Southern Xinjiang, and even Northern Barbarians are secretly discussing this matter.

A strong man of this level already poses a threat enough for all parties to treat him with caution.

Look at it from this perspective.

Ning Qi's purpose of deterrence was very successful.

At least in a short period of time, Momen and Nanjiang will not dare to take any excessive actions. Small actions may continue, but at least they will not be too cruel on the surface.

And now Zhenwu Mountain.

It’s also more lively.

After reopening the mountain gate.

The True Martial Sword Monument has attracted more swordsmen than before, and the warriors are somewhat conservative in their attitude towards the Wandao Tower. After all, they need to exchange one for one, and trading their martial arts secrets makes many people hesitant. , but there will always be people who start to try new things, and after some people enter, they become excited.

The Zhenwu Sword Monument is very good, but in fact the threshold is not low, and requires high levels of understanding and swordsmanship to achieve enlightenment.

But Wandao Pagoda is not.

After Ning Qi sorted it out, the layers became clearer.

After entering, you will definitely gain something.

One for one.

In fact, there is no loss at all.

After the people who entered came out, they started to publicize wildly. Slowly, more and more people entered the Wandao Tower. It was already full in a short time. Luo Wentian smiled and promulgated the management rules that had been prepared for a long time. The warriors entered in an orderly manner.

He was happy to see Wandao Pagoda so popular.

Over time, this is the foundation of Zhenwu Sect!

All the martial arts in the world will come from it, and it will become a truly Ten Thousand Dao Pagoda.

He looked in the direction of Qiudao Temple, and the more he felt that his ninth junior brother was powerful. He was worthy of being an unprecedented monster, and his ideas were completely different from ordinary people. If the Wenjian Pavilion had such courage, it would have become the number one holy land of swordsmanship. .

The Zhenwu sect is thriving.

And Ning Qi was also happy.

He looked through the many books of Wenjian Pavilion, which contained many secrets and knowledge, which made him gain a lot.

The suppression of the thirty-six Heavenly Swords that day frightened Tang Qiu. He did not dare to omit anything at all. He copied all the classics. He did not dare to bet whether the Heavenly Sword Master would see it, even some things that he thought were unimportant. All the classics were brought directly from the original.

As for the Enlightenment Tea Tree next to it, it unexpectedly grew again before the arrival of the Zhenwu Peach Fair, and is now on par with Ning Qi.

The reason is simple.

The corpses of Gu Changhe and another Wenjian Pavilion Celestial Being were buried underneath, providing nutrients.

Ning Qi thinks.

After he has digested this wave of gains from Wenjian Pavilion, his foundation can greatly increase.

Moreover, with feedback coming from the Zhenwu Sword Monument and Wandao Pagoda from time to time, his current knowledge base is growing much faster than before.

But now.

The first thing he paid attention to was the records about the realm of the Martial Saint in the many classics of Wenjian Pavilion. Wenjian Pavilion had been passed down for thousands of years, so he might know some clues.

Ning Qi looked through it patiently.
