37. Martial arts wizard who was delayed by casting soldiers
Zhou Shu suspected that he had been to the Knife Cave before, but thinking about it, it was unlikely.
His predecessor was just an apprentice in a small Weaponsmith's Workshop. The Sword Cave is a forbidden area in Great Xia. According to this father-in-law, even if you are not an elite, you don't even have the chance to enter.
No matter how you think about it, your predecessor would never have the chance to go.
I’ve never been there before, so where does this damn familiarity come from?
The carriage rushed forward, and within a quarter of an hour, the carriage had stopped.
"So close?"
Zhou Shu was a little surprised. He thought for a while. They should have just entered the city after a quarter of the carriage. The knife cave is here?
"Master Zhou, please."
The father-in-law should get off the car first and speak.
Zhou Shu did not hesitate and jumped off the carriage.
"Here?"
Zhou Shu's eyes suddenly widened.
"The Knife Cave is in the secret room underground." The father-in-law didn't notice Zhou Shu's reaction and introduced, "Don't look at it. It's very ordinary here. I can tell you that there are a whole army stationed around this place.
The Tigers and Guards of the Centurion."
"No one is allowed to approach this place without authorization, or they will be fiercely attacked by the Tiger Army! Moreover, there is a team of demon slayers on standby at any time. Even if you are a qualified warrior, it is not that easy to enter the Sword Cave."
Zhou Shu was in a trance and didn't hear what the father-in-law was saying at all.
Like a wooden man, he was led into an underground secret room by his father-in-law.
Your secret room is not big, just a few feet square. When they entered, there were already several people inside.
When they heard Zhou Shu and the others coming in, those people just raised their heads, and then turned their heads back again, staring at the messy marks on the wall, their faces full of thoughts.
Zhou Shu's whole body was a little messy. He scratched his hair hard and couldn't believe how this happened.
The father-in-law gave him a strange look and said, "Master Zhou, you can understand it here. His Majesty's will is that you can stay here for any time. When you enter the door, when you leave." p>
"Don't worry about food, someone will bring it to you."
After saying that, the father-in-law turned and left.
Zhou Shu only felt a few fiery eyes falling on him. When he turned around, he saw that the people who were here were looking at him with envy.
"Hello everyone."
Zhou Shu was puzzled, but he still waved and said hello.
Those people all gave him a roll of their eyes, and then they turned away, and no one paid any attention to Zhou Shu!
They worked so hard to win over an infinite number of people to get a guy who could enter the Sword Cave for a day of enlightenment, but this pretty boy had no time limit!
If time hadn't been precious here, I would have given him a good beating!
Those people had almost the same thoughts.
Zhou Shu didn't know what they were thinking, so he scratched his head again, making his hair a mess.
Now he wanted to rush to Meng Bai and tell him loudly that I made the knife marks on the wall!
You asked me to understand the knife marks I made, are you serious?
Zhou Shu now feels like he dug a hole, jumped into it, and buried himself!
But he still has nowhere to complain!
It’s all out of good intentions that people are covered in white!
A weapon-casting apprentice who does not understand martial arts cannot become a weapon-casting master.
If Zhou Shu was an ordinary weapon-casting apprentice, this would definitely be a huge opportunity.
But he is not an ordinary weapon-making apprentice, he is a genius, okay?
Even when he beat Zhou Shu to death, he never expected that the knife marks he had casually carved would be protected as treasures by the Great Xia court.
It shouldn’t be. My cultivation level is only slightly better than that of Sun Pingping. There are even first-class experts in Daxia. Why would the Daxia court care so much about my own strength?
The Heavenly Sword Sword Technique is indeed an extremely good swordsmanship, but Zhou Shu himself knows that his attainments in the Heavenly Sword Sword Technique are just beginning.
What Zhou Shu didn't know was that the reason why the Daxia court valued the knife marks he left so much was not because of the powerful swordsmanship and intention contained in the knife marks.
On the contrary, it’s because this sword technique and sword intention are just getting started!
If the sword technique and sword intention are too powerful, ordinary warriors will not be able to comprehend them.
It is precisely this kind of sword technique and sword intention that seems to be left behind by a just beginning warrior, and even non-advanced warriors can understand it.
Such knife marks are not easy to leave.
If it is a strong person who leaves the mark, the sword intention is likely to be too strong. If it is a beginner who leaves the sword mark, it is impossible for them to master the sword intention.
That's why Meng Bai and the others thought that this sword mark was left deliberately by a sword master to help the young warriors of Great Xia practice.
Zhou Shu didn't expect these twists and turns. He was thinking, what should he do now?
Now go out and tell them that you have understood the art of swordsmanship and the meaning of swords?
Wouldn’t that be a little too shocking?
At that time, what if they regard themselves as martial arts geniuses who were delayed by the soldiers?
Meng Bai will not force himself to train himself to be a martial arts genius, right?
I don’t want to give up on forging soldiers, that’s my fundamental foundation.
How about hanging out here for a few days and then going out?
"Well, being too good is also a kind of trouble."
Zhou Shu sighed secretly. He looked at the people in the secret room sitting cross-legged in front of the wall, pointing with their fingers, imitating the knife marks on the wall.
Zhou Shu followed their example and came to an empty wall, sat down, and prepared to show off.
Just as he sat down, his movements suddenly froze.
Immediately, a fierce aura emanated from his body, and in an instant, his whole body seemed to have turned into a knife, with its sharp edge exposed.
Everyone's eyes were attracted to him.
"What happened? He actually realized the intention of the sword!"
Everyone was going crazy, this pretty boy just came in not long ago, right?
How did he gain enlightenment?
Everyone looked at each other in shock. It had been almost a whole day since they came in. Although they had gained a little bit, they had not yet realized the meaning of the sword!
"Half a quarter of an hour——"
Someone whispered, "It's only been half a quarter of an hour since he came in -"
"The person who realized the sword's intention the fastest before was Sun Pingping of the Divine Catcher Division. It took him two quarters of an hour - and he didn't seem to be as strong as before when he realized the sword's intention."
Everyone secretly took a breath of cold air.
Divine Catcher Sun Ping Ping is a famous genius among the younger generation!
Who is this young man in front of me?
Is he better than Sun Ping Ping?
Zhou Shu was a little dumbfounded, he didn't expect this.
He wants to keep a low profile!
What the hell is going on!
Zhou Shu doesn't know whether to cry or laugh now.
Just when he sat down, a barrage suddenly floated in front of his eyes.
[The hundred-refined ring you forged successfully killed the first sword, and the secrets of the Heavenly Sword have been refined for two years!]
The sudden increase in the secrets of the Heavenly Sword made Zhou Shu lose control and the sword's intention leaked out.
If it's outdoors, it might be better.
But in this small secret room, everyone is concentrating on understanding, and they can detect even the slightest hint of sword intent!
It can’t be hidden now.
Zhou Shu sighed in his heart and was glad that the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kung Fu specialized in the physical body. Even if ordinary warriors were much stronger than him, they would not be able to see through him easily.
Otherwise, he would have no trump card at all.
Living in a world full of dangers, Zhou Shu always believes that if he wants to live a long life, he must keep some trump cards that no one else knows.
Only in this way, if someone wants to deal with him and does not know his cards, his chances of protecting himself will be much greater.
Now that the sword's intention has been exposed, unless he is willing to kill all the people in this secret room, he can't hide it anymore.
The problem is, even if he wanted to kill people and silence them, he couldn't.
It is easy to kill these people, but there are hundreds of troops from the Tiger Army and a team from the Demon Slayer Army outside, which are not something he can deal with now.
"Brothers, you continue, I will take the first step."
Zhou Shu cupped his hands and said to those people who had not yet come to their senses.
Before they could react, Zhou Shu had already left the secret room.
"I——"
"Who is he? What did he do here? Sit down and leave? Come here for a visit?"
"People have realized the meaning of the sword!"
"..."
The secret room suddenly became deathly silent.
Zhou Shu pushed open the tunnel door and climbed up. As soon as his head was exposed, he felt several eyes falling on him.
Although the Huben Army does not know where they are hiding, it is obvious that they are always paying attention to this place.
"Why did you get up here?"
He Qingqing had just boarded the carriage with one foot and was about to return to the palace to resume his life. When he turned around, he saw Zhou Shu emerging from the underground secret room.
He hasn't left yet, and this kid wants to sneak away?
Do you really want to be here staring at him?
The eunuch He Qianqing was already a little unhappy. No wonder General Meng specifically asked him to send the person to the Knife Cave.
This is the opportunity that Chief Zhou has been coveting for others, but he doesn’t take it seriously. Does he hate martial arts so much?
"Master Zhou, your Majesty's decree is that if you don't understand the intention of the sword, you are not allowed to leave the cave." He Qianqing said displeasedly, "Resisting and disobeying the decree is a serious crime!"
"I didn't resist or disobey the decree."
Zhou Shu jumped out of the tunnel and said.
"Still quibbling!" He Qingqing originally had a good impression of Zhou Shu, but now, he felt that Zhou Shu might be just showing up!
Before he finished speaking, he saw Zhou Shu step forward, his aura changed, and his whole person seemed to have turned into a knife, with his sharp edge revealed!
"You——"
He Qingqing's pupils suddenly contracted.
"I have understood the meaning of the sword, and I have also understood a set of sword techniques——"
Before Zhou Shu finished speaking, he felt a gust of wind blowing past his eyes.
The great eunuch He Qianqing has turned into a blur and disappeared into the distance in an instant.
Zhou Shu was dumbfounded. Master, this speed must be 120 miles.
Eunuchs have been producing masters since ancient times, and they are truly worthy of me.
Zhou Shu admired in his heart, looked around, and landed on He Jingcheng's carriage.
"Um, Brother Coachman, please take me back to the Weaponry Department -"
