The sun sets in the west and the Moon Rabbit rises in the east. There is silence in the small courtyard, and the chirping of insects can be heard from time to time in the grass.
Inside the room, Li Yuanzhan and his wife were lying side by side on the bed, chatting some gossip before going to bed.
"Brother Li, what do you think of Zhao Zheng's child?" Ouyang Susu leaned on her husband's strong and strong arms and asked softly.
"This kid is a talented person, he is brave, he is very talented, and he is willing to endure hardships. He is really commendable." Li Yuanzhan said matter-of-factly.
"I also think this kid is very good. He is good in all aspects. Our Zhenzhen seems to be very attached to him. When he was in a coma today, you saw how anxious Zhenzhen was."
"When Zhenzhen ran away from home, she was taken care of by Zhao Zheng. The two dated for many days and had a deep friendship. She would naturally become anxious when she saw something happened to Zhao Zheng."
"I think there is more than just friendship between the two of them. Opposites attract and young men and women interact with each other. How can there be any pure friendship."
"You mean Zhenzhen has fallen in love with Zhao Zheng?" Li Yuanzhan rolled his eyes and looked sideways at the lady in his arms.
Ouyang Susu nodded with a smile and said: "I see that these two children are flirting with each other. They are a little bit interesting, but they just can't get rid of it. Zhenzhen is sixteen years old this year. The boy is about to get married and the girl is about to get married. It's time to find someone for her.
Family. Zhao Zheng is a child with good looks and martial arts skills. He is a rising star in the world. He is really a good candidate. The only drawback is that his background is not very good. His parents are gone and he has only one sworn sister.
Ding is a bit withered."
"It doesn't matter if he has a bad background. He has a bright future. He doesn't need the help of his parents to get ahead in the future. And since he has no parents, he can stay with us in the future. There is no need for Zhenzhen to marry far away. This will save us the trouble.
I miss you so much." Li Yuanzhan said nonchalantly.
"Yes, I think so too!" Ouyang Susu agreed.
"Since our whole family is optimistic about Zhao Zheng, let's try to bring these two people together. Tomorrow you can go and find out Zhenzhen's tone and see what she says. If she also has this intention, I will kill Zhao Zheng.
Call me and have a talk with him. If both children agree to this, the marriage can be settled. Once the two of them choose a date to get married, I will pass on the gentleman's sword skills to Zhao Zheng and let him marry Zhen.
Jane got together as a pair and practiced the Mandarin Duck Sword Technique together. We are the Mandarin Duck Storm Chasers, wouldn’t it be nice for them to be a little Mandarin Duck Heroic couple?”
Ouyang Susu was amused and giggled: "After what you said, this marriage is really good. I will ask Zhenzhen tomorrow for her opinion. I'm afraid she will be shy and won't be able to accept it."
"The good daughter you gave birth to is naughty and bold in nature, just like a boy. Other girls can't forgive her, but she will never be able to forgive her."
"You are wrong. No matter how careless a girl is, she will be shy when faced with this kind of thing."
The couple discussed this matter for a long time until late at night before falling asleep.
After breakfast the next day, Ouyang Susu took lotus steps, knocked on the door of her daughter's room, and chatted with her about household matters. In the middle of the conversation, Ouyang Susu said seemingly casually: "You are twenty-eight years old this year.
We have just reached the age where we are talking about marriage. What kind of husband do you want to find in the future? Tell your mother about it. If I meet someone who is similar to you in the future, I can keep an eye on it for you."
"Don't say I'm twenty-eight, I won't marry even if I'm forty-eight." Li Zhenzhen gnawed on a big red apple and bit off a large piece in one bite.
"Look at you kid, what are you talking about? You are thirty-two years old at the age of forty-eight. Don't say you don't want to get married at that time. Even if you want to get married, no one wants you, an old lady."
"
"If no one wants it, then no one wants it. I can just stay with you and dad for the rest of my life. Anyway, you two are rich and rich, so you can't starve me."
"If you are too old to get married, then we won't want you anymore." Ouyang Susu smiled and made a serious face.
"Mom will scare me, how can you be willing to leave me?" Li Zhenzhen acted coquettishly, leaning sideways on her mother's soft and warm arms, and started rubbing her gently.
Ouyang Susu couldn't stand her daughter's coquettishness, so she held her daughter in her arms and kissed her gently. The mother and daughter were both extremely beautiful, sitting side by side, like two blooming flowers competing for beauty.
Li Zhenzhen soaked it for a long time, waiting until her mother promised to raise her for the rest of her life before she withdrew and continued to nibble on the crisp and sweet red apple.
"Zhenzhen, mother was not joking with you just now, but asked you this question sincerely. You are not young anymore. Even if you are not married now, you should still worry about marriage." Ouyang Susu hugged her beloved daughter's fragrance.
Shoulder, said softly.
Seeing that her mother was speaking solemnly, Li Zhenzhen replied seriously: "Mom, I don't want to get married so early. It's better to wait two years before mentioning this matter."
"According to your wishes, I won't force you to get married so early. This time I just want to ask you what kind of husband you want to find, so that you can prepare early."
"We are from a martial arts family, so of course we need to find a man who is good at martial arts. If we find a man who can do nothing but eat nothing, he will be bullied to death by me after we get married."
"You are self-aware of this." Ouyang Susu hid her mouth and snickered, her beautiful eyes turning into crescent moons, "Besides practicing martial arts, what else do you want?"
"In addition to being better at martial arts than me, his character must also be good, and his appearance must be pleasing to my eye." Li Zhenzhen thought for a while, her beautiful eyes lit up, "By the way, it would be better if he was good at using a sword.
, just in time to inherit my family’s swordsmanship. After I learned the lady’s swordsmanship, I have never tried to combine swords with others.”
Ouyang Susu became more and more delighted as she listened and said with a smile: "Zhenzhen, what you said so many reminds me of a person who exactly meets your requirements."
"Who meets my requirements?" Li Zhenzhen asked.
"You know this man, he is your friend, and we have a good relationship. He is far away, but he is very close. He was here as a guest yesterday. As for his name, I don't need to tell you." Ouyang Susu observed with a smile.
The changes in the daughter's demeanor reveal the complex thoughts of her family.
Li Zhenzhen immediately guessed that the person her mother was referring to was Zhao Zheng, and two red clouds appeared on Qishang Saixue's snow-white face, which did not add a touch of coquettishness. She turned her face away in shame and said duplicity: "What's wrong with him?
I won’t marry him. Besides, he and I are just friends. We don’t have that many thoughts.”
"You have to become friends first, and then you can be husband and wife. Back then, your father and I were fooling around together, fell in love, and then made a private commitment for life. It's better to get married to a man you know well and have a crush on than to marry someone you've never met.
It is much better for a man to get married. If you wait until the matchmaker comes to propose marriage in the future, you will probably marry a strange man." Ouyang Susu advised.
When Li Zhenzhen heard what her mother said, her heart moved secretly, and the figure of Zhao Zheng popped up in her mind. Once this kind of sprout grew up, it was out of control. She was young and had never thought about this before, but now
When my mother asked about it, I realized that I had a good impression of Zhao Zheng and didn't seem to object to marrying Zhao Zheng.
When Ouyang Susu saw her daughter blushing and not saying anything, she knew that this incident had already made a difference. She didn't want her daughter to be embarrassed, so she whispered into her ear: "I understand what you mean, and everything is covered."
Let’s put it on my mother. Our Zhenzhen is so good, he will definitely agree.”
"Don't act recklessly. If he doesn't agree, I'll be in great disgrace and I won't be able to see anyone." Li Zhenzhen was so embarrassed that even her ears turned red.
"There is no such thing as a chance. This is definitely going to happen. Just wait until you put on your wedding dress and hijab." Ouyang Susu said with a smile.
"No, this is too abrupt. If it doesn't work, he and I can't even be friends." Li Zhenzhen usually speaks and does things very straightforwardly, but this is the only thing she can't do. She clearly has this intention in her heart.
, but he still said he disagreed half-heartedly, looking very coy.
Ouyang Susu coaxed her daughter for a while, asking her to put her heart in her belly and wait for her good news, and then ran to tell her husband about her daughter's feelings. Li Yuanzhan was also very happy after hearing this. Zhao Zheng's child was his
If he could let Li Zhenzhen marry such a child as his ideal son-in-law, he would be relieved as a father.
Li Yuanzhan is a straight-tempered man. He wanted to call Zhao Zheng right away and tell him about the matter, but Ouyang Susu next to him stopped him and advised: "Brother, don't be anxious. Zhao Zheng will be here in a few days."
He is about to participate in a martial arts competition. If you mention this marriage to him now, he will be confused and may be affected by it. In my opinion, it is better to wait until he is over with this matter.
.”
Li Yuanzhan heard that it made sense and nodded: "That's right. The kid is about to go on stage to compete. We can't let his children's affair affect him. It's better to tell him later. Thanks to you for reminding me, if I rashly
If you tell him about the matter, wouldn't it be a good intention but a bad thing?"
"It would be nice to tell you later, but I'm afraid your precious daughter will be impatient while waiting."
"Don't she often say she's not in a hurry to get married?"
"Of course you are not in a hurry to get married if you don't have a sweetheart, but after you have a sweetheart, it will be different. Thinking about it day and night, longing for it, this is the most difficult thing in the world."
"So, of course you miss me the same way?"
"Bah, so shameless." Ouyang Susu rolled her eyes at her husband and said with a sweet smile.
…
At the foot of the mountain at Zhujian Villa, there is a convoy jogging along. There are more than twenty carriages in total, including carriages specially responsible for pulling people and carriages responsible for carrying goods.
On the top of the leader's carriage sat a skinny little old man.
The old man's hair has almost fallen out, leaving only a handful floating in the wind. On his skinny back, he is carrying a huge sword box that is out of proportion to his body. On his waist, which looks like a firewood stick, is a
A big wine gourd. He looked at his hometown in front of him, which he had not seen for many days, with an excited smile on his face. He couldn't help but grab the wine gourd, pulled off the stopper, and took a nice sip.
This wizened old man was none other than the second-ranked sword master sword slave of the Sword Making Villa. He led the convoy and rushed here from Luoshu Villa. In the carriage behind him, sat the father and son of the Baili family.
, several distinguished guests, and several challengers who broke through the sword formation and won the token.
After this group of people arrive at Zhujian Villa, they will choose an auspicious day to convene and compete for the first sword.
This arena has been set up a long time ago. At first, everything was ready except for the east wind. Now even the east wind is blowing, and there is no shortage of anything.
"Zi Chujian, I finally brought these young men back to you. Soon, you will have a user that you are happy with." The sword slave looked at the giant sword gate of the villa and sighed secretly in his heart.
It was really not easy to prepare for this Zichu Sword competition. It took a long time. It also shocked the entire world. It caused an uproar, and some people even lost their lives!
A few days ago, accurate news reached the ears of Sword Slave. Among the many beaters, one beater was killed on the road, and even his head was cut off.
This cruel killing method is obviously the work of assassins. Assassins take orders to kill people, and in order to prove themselves afterwards, they are accustomed to cutting off the victim's head and taking it back to ask for credit and reward.
This person was killed either because he had enmity with others, or because he was eliminated in advance by other challengers. Both are possible, but the latter is slightly more likely.
This is just a case where we know accurate information. It is not yet certain how many beaters actually died.
Among the twenty-three challengers who have obtained tokens, it would be great if twenty of them can successfully reach the Sword Forging Villa.
Fortunately, even if there were a few fewer people, it would not be a problem. This kind of unexpected situation was within the sword slave's expectation, otherwise he would not have set the number of twenty-four people.
Twenty-four people competed against each other. The first few games were easy to handle, but in the last game there would be three people left, which was impossible to form a pair. If you really wanted to make up a round number, you should have settled on thirty-two people at that time.
.There are various reasons why thirty-two people were not selected.
First of all, there are not that many young talents who meet the standards. It is very time-consuming to gather 32 people. The selection time is too long and inconvenient, so we can only reduce the number of people.
Secondly, before the competition, Zi Chujian will conduct a preliminary inspection of the challengers. If there are any challengers who are dissatisfied, they will be eliminated. Even if they work hard to gather a suitable number of people, they will still be eliminated when the time comes.
May be cut.
Thirdly, the contestants may encounter dangers on the way to the Zhujian Villa, and may be killed or injured, resulting in being unable to participate in the contest, which may also lead to the inability to make up the count.
There are so many variables that no matter how many people are decided, it will be difficult to get a perfect number of people to fight, so there is no need to waste your efforts.
When the challenge comes, if the challenger has an odd number and is unable to compete, the only way to temporarily compete is to draw lots and get a bye.
The Giant Sword Gate slowly grew bigger in the eyes of the sword slave, and the carriage team finally arrived in front of the Giant Sword Gate.
The sword slave jumped from the top of the carriage and landed firmly on the ground.
The guards came over and bowed to greet him. Some said they would go back to report to the owner of the village and organize people to line up to greet him.
The sword slave waved his withered hands and said impatiently: "I brought these young boys here and have completed my mission. I will leave the rest to you. I am anxious to see my Zi Chujian, but
I don’t have time to hang around here with you.” After saying this, he flew up, put his feet in the air, flew far away in the blink of an eye, and passed through the giant sword door.
Many of the guards had no way to stop him, so they could only let the sword slave fly away. They turned back and without any time to think, they all rushed forward to help set up the carriage and receive the guests.
The drivers pulled the reins, and the carriage team stopped in a mighty manner, and people got out of the cars one after another. These people were of all kinds, some had been to Zhujian Villa, some had never been, and their attitudes varied.
Not to mention these people, let’s talk about Sword Slave. This wizened little old man flew all the way in the sky. When he reached the mountainside, he fell to the ground due to the rules of the villa and instead flew forward. There are many places in the villa.
Jumping in the air is prohibited.
Zhuang Ding's servants on the road saw the sword slave coming back, and they bowed and saluted one by one, not daring to lose their etiquette. However, the sword slave regarded these people as nothing and ignored any of them.
The sword slave ran all the way until he reached the entrance of the sword tomb on the mountain behind the villa before slowing down.
There is a complex sword formation here as a guard, and the sword formation is controlled by two masters from the villa.
The sword slave greeted the two men and spoke a secret code using sound transmission to prove his identity.
The two masters confirmed that this was a sword slave and not someone else in disguise, and then they agreed to let him go.
This inspection process is set by the village owner, and no one can violate it, let alone a sword slave. Even if the village owner comes in person, he has to pass these two masters first.
The sword slave jumped into the sword formation, passed through it according to the complex rules of the Five Elements and Bagua, and arrived at the stone door of the Sword Tomb. There was also an ambush on this stone door. It could not be opened casually. It needed to be opened with a force.
It takes a dark force to touch the mechanism in the door. The sword slave pressed his hand on a specific position on the door, pumped his palms several times, and triggered the mechanism of the stone door.
The stone door rumbled and slowly moved aside, revealing a dim cave passage.
The sword slave quickly slipped into the cave, stepped over the bumpy stone ground, climbed a ladder, and finally reached a platform.
This platform is located in the center of the sword tomb. There are hundreds of swords stuck on it. The Zichu sword is mixed in among these swords and inserted near the middle of the platform. There is nothing within three feet around Zichu sword. This sword
The sword spirit prohibits other swords from approaching.
When the sword slave saw Zichujian, it was like a grandfather seeing his little grandson whom he had not seen for many years. He jumped over and landed in front of Zichujian. He stretched out his withered hand and gently touched the blank blade of Zichujian.
"I'm back. I haven't seen you for a long time. I miss you so much... Well, don't worry. There are many challengers in the villa, including even sixth-level heaven warriors. There must be someone who can satisfy you... I
The arena competition will be held as soon as possible, and I won’t make you wait too long, no more than three days at the latest... Haha, no need to thank me, these are what I am willing to do for you..."
The sword slave was alone in the sword tomb and said to himself. (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
