The sword playing field is hundreds of feet long and wide, and the ground is paved with extremely durable green mountain rocks. It has been carefully polished and is very smooth. The Lingdian readers step on it, and they feel solid and steady.
On the field, more than two hundred new generation disciples sat in a circle, holding their breath and opening their eyes wide, for fear that if they blinked, they would miss a once-in-a-lifetime scene.
In the circle, Xiao Jihai stood proudly, looking like a swordsman. In front of him, about three feet away, stood a freshly cut tree trunk, as thick as the mouth of a bowl.
He suddenly moved, and the sword on his waist came out with a clang. When it was unsheathed, it made a sound like the roar of a dragon. What he moved was his hand, but his steps stayed in place, not moving an inch.
Tsk tsk tsk!
The sword was flying in the air, pointing at the tree trunk three feet away. In an instant, the sword's light flashed, but it was already sheathed.
The whole process only took a few breaths. The disciples who were watching, some of whom were slightly inferior in cultivation, didn't even understand what the sword in the elder's hand looked like.
Then all eyes focused on the tree trunk, and they clearly saw seven characters tattooed on it: Zhongnan Sword Mansion Xiao Jihai!
These are the words that Xiao Jihai just moved his sword in the air and thrust out three feet apart.
This kind of swordsmanship has long gone beyond the scope of sword moves and is called "sword energy".
The energy of the sword is invisible but has quality, like an antelope hanging its horns. It is elusive and can hurt people and defeat enemies at the snap of a finger.
"Have you seen it? That's sword energy!"
"Elder Xiao must be at the eighth level of Qi Dao. He is really amazing..."
"Awesome? This is not the elder's true accomplishment. It was lowered deliberately so that everyone can see it more clearly."
"Yes, Elder Xiao's famous sword energy is called 'Shan Guang Xi Luo'. It is so mysterious and mysterious that we can never truly grasp it."
"Hey, when I can achieve half the cultivation level of the elder, I will be satisfied..."
Discussions, filled with amazement, arose one after another.
Xiao Jihai put his hands behind his back and was about to explain when he suddenly saw a person running towards the exit of the sword performance hall. It was his disciple Guan Heng who was sent to the sword lecture hall to retrieve the sword title.
Today is the last day of the sword lecture hall. If nothing else happens, after demonstrating the sword energy and explaining it again, it will be almost over.
Xiao Jihai had other things to do and changed his plan temporarily. He was not going to go back to the Sword Hall to make a summary, so he ordered Guan Heng to go over and take down the sword title left on the stone wall and bring it over.
"Elder Xiao, Elder Xiao is not well."
Guan Heng ran fast and was angry when he yelled.
Xiao Jihai couldn't help but frown. This disciple had always had a calm personality, but now he became irritable. He shouted: "Speak slowly if you have something to do. What's the etiquette of making such a fuss about something?"
Guan Heng shut up immediately.
"Tell me, what happened?"
When the disciple calmed down, Xiao Jihai asked slowly and logically. He had already reached a certain level in cultivating qi, and even if a powerful enemy invaded at this time, he would not be in a hurry.
Guan Heng swallowed his saliva and reported: "Elder Xiao, your sword problem has been solved again."
"What?"
Elder Xiao, who is very good at raising qi, suddenly felt like a cat whose tail was stepped on. He almost jumped up: "Asshole, why didn't you tell me earlier!"
With a slick turn of his body, he performed a superb Qinggong and rushed towards the general lecture hall. He left behind a large group of disciples who looked at each other, wanting to laugh but not daring to laugh.
Especially when Guan Heng was scolded for no reason, he felt the most aggrieved: You asked me to tell you something slowly...
…
In the sword lecture hall, facing the jade sword title that had turned into powder, Xiao Jihai's expression changed several times, sometimes solemn, sometimes ecstatic, and sometimes lost in thought.
The disciples also rushed back at this moment, but no one dared to make a noise or interrupt the elder's train of thought. They just gathered around outside, stretching their necks to watch curiously.
From cracking the low-level Xuanji sword question to cracking the middle-level Xuanji sword question, it only took one day, but the cracker was nowhere to be seen, and his identity is still unknown.
The whole thing, from the beginning to the present, is filled with an indescribable mystery.
"Since all the new generation disciples were on the sword playing field before, it definitely can't be them. Could it be that there is really a true disciple, or a disciple in the guard is so bold that he secretly comes to solve the sword problem? It doesn't make sense..."
As high-level disciples, their welfare benefits are very good. Many resources of the Jian Mansion are freely open to them. If you want to solve a certain sword problem, you can apply directly. There is no need to be sneaky at all.
"No, we must get to the bottom of this matter."
Xiao Jihai gritted his teeth and immediately met with the Palace Master and the other three elders to discuss things without further ado.
Hearing that something strange happened in this year's Lecture Hall, several big bosses were a little surprised. They immediately ordered all the true disciples and guard disciples on the mountain to be called in for questioning.
After a lot of trouble, at night, the results came out, and none of the disciples were suspicious.
Faced with this result, Xiao Jihai went crazy: No one was suspicious, could it be a ghost?
He did not believe in evil and continued to investigate all night, further narrowing the search scope and focusing on the people who had entered the Lecture Hall during this period. He investigated them one by one, and finally concluded that the most likely possibility was a group of handymen.
Xiao Jihai was dumbfounded on the spot.
The servants are the lowest level of existence in the Jian Mansion. They belong to the idle people, or in other words, they are not even members of the Jian Mansion. No one will ever pay attention to them.
How is it possible?
As a handyman, he basically doesn't know martial arts. Who would want to work as a handyman if he has martial arts skills, sweeping the floor and serving people?
So is it possible to solve the sword problem without a foundation in martial arts? It is simply contrary to common sense.
Could it be an enemy spy sent by the Tiandu Sect... This is also unlikely. Since he is a spy, how could he rashly break the sword problem? Doesn't that mean self-exposure?
Moreover, with the status of a handyman, even if you are a spy, it is difficult to learn any secrets. There is no reason to secretly learn martial arts. "Exploring Flower Sword Qi Jue" is just a mid-level Xuan-level swordsmanship, and it is not worth such painstaking efforts.
After thinking about it, an idea flashed in my mind——
"Among the handymen, a once-in-a-hundred-year peerless swordsmanship genius actually appeared?"
Xiao Jihai scratched his hair and smacked his lips: This possibility seemed mysterious and unbelievable even to him. However, after it came to him inexplicably, he could no longer endure it. Today, Jianfu's talent is withering and has reached a critical point.
Once you can really discover a unique genius, you will be prosperous.
Of course, before it is really confirmed, all this is just personal imagination, and it is difficult to tell it in advance. If it is not true, wouldn’t it be a slap in the face? So I kept quiet for now and went to see Deacon Luo, the miscellaneous deacon of the foreign government.
ask:
"What? You fired the handyman named Liang and drove him down the mountain today?"
When the most critical step was found, the clues were suddenly cut off, and Xiao Jihai was very angry. Although looking horizontally and vertically, it was unlikely that the handyman named "Liang Qiufeng" was the person he was looking for, but
How can you give up without checking it in person? You must know that cracking the first sword question may be due to luck, but after cracking the second sword question in a short period of time, there is no other explanation other than a genius.
Talent is easy to come by, but genius is hard to find.
Deacon Luo was so confused that he had no idea what he had done, which led to this elder-level big shot suddenly condescending to visit him in the middle of the night. Although he was majestic in front of the servants, in front of Xiao Jihai,
I didn’t even dare to breathe. Whatever I asked, I answered whatever I asked.
Deacon Luo whispered aggrievedly: "That boy is lazy and can't work hard..."
Snap!
He received a loud slap on his fat face, and five finger marks stood out immediately.
"Bastard, I'm telling you, you go down the mountain and find him right away. If he can't be found, you don't have to come back... No, if he can't be found, you can bring him back on your own. Also, this matter must be kept secret, if you dare
If you talk nonsense, hum, you will always be a mute."
If he had nothing important to do, Xiao Jihai would have wanted to go down the mountain in person. However, he did not know Liang Qiufeng, and the truth was not yet known, so it was not appropriate to cause uproar in the city.
The elder was furious, and Deacon Luo was frightened. He was not stupid and did not dare to say anything. He hurriedly made some arrangements, took Xiao Jihai's special oracle, and went down the mountain to find Liang Qiufeng that night.
The night was vast, and Deacon Luo, who was confused and confused, felt the burning pain on his fat face, and he screamed in his heart: I, Luo Daliang, have offended some kind of god, and suddenly encountered this difficulty... I have mercy on Liang Qiufeng, this kid kept silent
Yes, he actually hugged Elder Xiao’s thigh? Bah, how is that possible? I know that kid’s details very well.
After thinking to no avail, Deacon Luo simply put it aside, hoping that the truth would be revealed once he found Liang Qiufeng.
But once you get out of Zhongnan Mountain, the sky is so vast, where should you find someone?
Woo hoo hoo, during the day, he drove Liang Qiufeng down the mountain with all his might. After only half a day, he had to find him back in a hurry. No, he should have invited him back.
What kind of thing is this?
Confused and full of depression and aggrievedness, the slap on the fat face hurt even more.
