Chapter 161 In front of Taishu Pavilion, the palace test list(1/3)
Lu Jing was sitting in Hanmo Academy, looking down at the snow-drinking knife in front of him.
The silver-white blade is paired with a silver handle. It's unclear what kind of tempering techniques were used to cast the precious iron. Under the light of the sky, it looks like there are snowflakes embedded in it, which is quite beautiful.
A fifth-grade famous sword is actually not that common even in Taixuanjing.
Not to mention the treasures in the hands of the older generation of big family heads and generals, most of the famous swords collected by many officials of the current dynasty are only fifth grade.
As for the younger generation in Dafu, it is even rarer to have a fifth-grade famous sword on their waist.
The previous generations of the Jiuhu Lu family were well-run and accumulated a large family business. On Changning Street, even the second assistant of Taishu Pavilion, Sheng Ruzhou, was not as rich as the Jiuhu Lu family in terms of wealth.
But even so, Lu Feng, the eldest young master of the second house in the mansion, only has a sixth-grade sword.
Although there is indeed a collection of fifth-grade treasures in the mansion, Lu Feng is young after all and has not yet served as an official in the court, so they were not given to him.
It can be seen from this that the fifth-grade sword is actually extremely precious, and often only a clan with a very rich heritage can support its young people to possess such treasures.
Lu Jing snatched the snow-drinking knife from Nan Xuehu at that time, but he just wanted to teach Nan Xuehu a lesson.
But I never thought that the snow-drinking knife would really play a great role after that.
At the very least, without the sharpness of the snow-drinking knife, it would only rely on his ordinary man's wrathful fate and his own energy and blood in the furnace realm at that time.
I'm afraid I still can't kill the great monk who is protected by the essence and blood of the eminent monk with one sword.
At this moment, Lu Jing placed the snow-drinking knife on his lap, closed his eyes, and felt the meaning of the spring thunder knife.
The sword intention is like thunder, flowing freely on the snow-drinking knife.
The Snow Drinking Knife has a broad blade, although it is very sharp, and weighs three hundred kilograms.
The weight of three hundred kilograms is nothing to a martial arts monk. Lu Jing is holding a snow-drinking knife weighing three hundred kilograms, which can only be described as easy.
However, the Spring Thunder Sword Intention emphasizes a vigorous spirit, overwhelming power, and overwhelming the world.
Drinking snow knife circulates Qi and blood, but it is like snowflakes falling, continuously, but it cannot be called earth-shattering.
Regarding the qi and blood bonus, although the amplitude is extremely high, it does not come suddenly, but slowly increases, becoming stronger and stronger.
This is also contrary to the intention of Chun Lei Dao.
But now Lu Jing doesn't have a good knife in his hand, so he can only use the Snow Drinking Knife to hone the Spring Thunder Knife.
Lu Jingshi has never learned any sword skills until now.
However, it was only through Mr. Jiu's Qingshan Slash, the thunderous aura, and his own righteous destiny that he developed such a special martial arts spirit.
Therefore, under certain circumstances, Lu Jing could only use one sword.
If someone else gets close to him, coupled with the spring thunder sword intention and the fate of an ordinary man, it can truly be regarded as Lu Jing's way of saving his life.
For the current Lu Jing, the power of this sword can be called powerful. The sword means the difference between victory and defeat, life and death.
"Your sword intention is indeed breathtaking."
Guan Changsheng was sitting not far away drinking. His face, which was originally a little red, now turned red due to drinking strong alcohol.
It was rare to have such a beautiful sun today, so Guan Changsheng and Lu Jing came together to the pool where Mr. Jiu had washed his sword. Lu Jing practiced his sword skills, while Guan Changsheng sat drinking and playing with the clear water in the pool.
Lu Jing didn't answer. The meaning of the knife on Yin Xue Dao circulated for a long time and then stopped. Then he raised his head and looked at Guan Changsheng.
"Mr. Changsheng, that day I held Zhan Qingshan in my hand and stood beside this pool of water. I felt that the sword intent in it was heavy. Some of the sword intent was originally silent, but it began to tremble because of your arrival."
Lu Jing had some curiosity in his eyes: "Mr. Changsheng told me before that when you were in Donghe Kingdom, you once killed the prefect with a sword in anger, but I didn't think much about it at that time.
Now that I think about it, the prefect is the head of a county in the Donghe Kingdom. Mr. Guan can kill the prefect alone. Even though the Donghe Kingdom encircled and suppressed him many times, Mr. Guan still left the Donghe Kingdom and entered the Northern Qin Dynasty. The majority of the Northern Qin Protectors led the soldiers under their command, but they never
After training you into a puppet, my husband left the Northern Qin Dynasty and came to Taixuanjing.
Thinking about it this way, your cultivation must be extraordinary."
Commissioner
Sheng stroked his long beard with his right hand and said boldly: "In today's world, if you don't have three points of knowledge, how can you conquer the world?"
Lu Jing didn't ask much, he just sighed: "The library is indeed a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger."
"There are naturally countless capable people in the world, and all kinds of avenues have leaders. Lu Jing, you have a lot of potential with your Chun Lei Dao Yi."
Guan Changsheng poured a glass of wine and flicked his fingers.
The wine glass was carried by the surging Qi and blood, returned steadily, and landed in front of Lu Jing.
Not even a drop of wine was spilled from the wine glass.
He added: "If you can keep improving, maybe one day you can hold a knife and ask the sky why it doesn't rain."
After Lu Jing heard Guan Changsheng's words, he couldn't help but ask: "Has anyone ever held a sword to ask the sky in the past?"
Guan Changsheng nodded and said with a smile: "The way of the sword is the glorious and righteous way in this world. If you can be the leader with the sword, the world is vast, but you can go anywhere.
A long time ago, a leader of the Sword Dao raised his sword to ask the sky. His sword moved the stars, and the stars began to sing together. Clouds and mist accumulated, and it rained heavily."
Lu Jing raised his eyebrows slightly: "Don't you know the name of this senior?"
Guan Changsheng shook his head gently: "The deceased has passed away, all his past achievements have been turned into ashes, and the sword in his hand has been broken. Before he died, he raised his head and loudly said that he hoped that the world would forget his name.
"
"It's been so long, just like what he said, even I have forgotten his name."
Lu Jing was a little surprised, but Guan Changsheng on the side smiled and said: "But I still remember his sword, it was called General Domineering, so I still remember it now
The people who were the leader of the swordsmanship also called the deceased general the domineering general."
"General Domineering? That's a strange name."
Lu Jing thought so in his heart.
"The current leader of swordsmanship is not so mysterious. He is the sword-bearing Confucian scholar whose sword energy traveled three thousand miles."
Guan Changsheng's eyes fell on the Snow Drinking Sword, and he said with some hesitation in his voice: "I wonder if there will be another master of swords and swords in this world in the future.
Now that you are still young, you have already cultivated your aura of awe-inspiring power and cultivated the spirit of Spring Thunder. Coupled with your sword intention to support the light, you can indeed expect great achievements in the future."
"Just like many people in Taixuan Capital now call you the best in calligraphy and painting."
Guan Changsheng's tone was filled with sighs.
Lu Jing was a little surprised in his eyes: "Calligraphy and painting... double skills?"
Guan Changsheng drank boldly, then turned his head and smiled and said: "Don't you know? You painted a real dragon in the Shihua Pavilion, and the real dragon was suspended in the clouds. This scene has spread throughout Taixuanjing.
Nowadays, many people say that a young gentleman has appeared in the library, his strokes are like a dragon, and he can reach the clouds."
Lu Jing had not participated in any cultural gatherings in the past many days, nor had he been invited to be a guest. He only focused on reading and resting every day.
Apart from Taixuan Palace, Library, and Yanglu Street, I rarely go to other places.
"No wonder these days, Qingyue has even said several times to send invitations to her door, and there are a lot more invitations."
Lu Jing thought in his mind.
However, Guan Changsheng reminded him loudly: "This sword of yours is not suitable for the Spring Thunder Sword Intent. If you want to bring out the extraordinary power of this martial arts spirit, you must change to a suitable sword."
Lu Jing nodded lightly, but smiled and said: "This knife was given to me by an acquaintance, and it is not my knife.
Moreover...famous swords are expensive but not marketable, so it is actually not easy to find a good sword."
Guan Changsheng nodded first, then slowly shook his head: "There are not many famous swords and treasures in the world that are spread among the people. Most of them are controlled by wealthy mansions and imperial officials.
Even the most famous craftsmen have joined the imperial court.
I know your temperament. It’s not difficult for you to get a good sword, but it’s difficult not to owe others.”
When Guan Changsheng said this, his eyes immediately moved, he leaned over and said: "In five days, there will be a front examination. You are a gentleman on the second floor of the library. If you want to participate in the front examination, you only need to
Just go to the Taishu Pavilion and add your name to the list.
You may have heard that the exam questions in front of the palace are a pair of swords, named Wind Calling and Rain Calling.
Wouldn't it be better if you got these two swords?"
Lu Jing smiled casually and didn't say much.
.
For ordinary people, the imperial examination is a bit far away.
But for many big offices and officials in Taixuanjing, it is a first-class event.
Tomorrow morning, the results will be announced in front of the Taishu Pavilion. Only court officials of the third rank or above can recommend candidates, and only those recommended can participate in the examination before the palace. If Emperor Chongtian looks at it and wins the examination before the palace, it will naturally be a step forward.
But Guan Changsheng's interest seems to be only in those two swords that can control the wind and rain.
"The imperial examination is different from the imperial examination. After you win, you can express your inner vision to the sage.
It would be an interesting thing if Mr. Lu Jing went to participate in the palace examination, took the two treasures of Wind and Calling Rain, and went back to the library to teach. I can also see how these two treasures from Yang Jiehai are related to my world.
What difference does casting make?”
Guan Changsheng's eyes flashed as he looked at Lu Jing, with a hint of encouragement in his tone.
Unexpectedly, when Lu Jing heard Guan Changsheng's words, he nodded slowly: "If I can get the Wind-Calling Sword or the Rain-Calling Sword, I will bring it over to sir."
