"Our treatment is really good now, and our senior brother is here to pick us up in person." He Nan, a disciple of Yanshan Jinghong Sect, smiled playfully.
After putting down the Xiaoshan Rebellion, He Nan sorted out the situation again. Thinking about it, although there are a lot of people missing now, those who can stay are all working together, and the cohesion is better than before, which can be regarded as
It's a blessing in disguise. And the person who holds the top spot in Xiaoshan is just like what He Nan promised at the beginning. Ren Tianjing led everyone in a beautiful turnaround, so naturally it was left to him to take this position.
, Peng Niu Sheng also volunteered to step in and help.
After rushing non-stop to Luoyan County, the five people temporarily divided into two groups here. He Nan and Xiao Yu went straight to Yanshan to complete the last stage of negotiations; while Lao Wei took Bo'er back to his hometown to recognize his relatives.
, trying to retrieve the lost memory. Only Mr. Chen suffered a lot. The two groups were in pairs, and it didn’t seem right to follow anyone. But in the end, he still chose to go with Wei Kui, and the reason was quite good.
——The reason why he left his hometown and lived alone was to experience the world. Henan, this lazy dog, went to the Jinghong Sect and probably had to wait for a while. It would be better to be on the other side and have a look at the scenery in the northwest mountains and ridges, maybe
I could also witness the "medical miracle" with my own eyes, so I decided to do it.
The Jinghong Sect had already made preparations for He Nan's visit again. They had been taking turns at the mountain gate in recent days, and they happened to run into Senior Brother Chen Longque who was playing swordsman and singing in the sentry booth.
"Elder brother, do you still have such hobbies?" He Nan leaned by the window and listened for a long time, then said with a smile. Chen Longque not only had a sword case with several swords, but also a jade qin case containing a simple Yao qin.
It is his most cherished thing. But maybe he is in a hurry today, so he can only sit here and sing with the long sword in the box as a harp and the silver wire on his wrist as a string.
Chen Longque also noticed the two of them. He gently picked it up with his fingertips, and the silver threads brought the sword back to the sheath like a living thing: "It's just a small trick, why should I care about it?"
"On the contrary, you..." Chen Longque stood up and looked at He Nan's smile carefully: "We have discussed it in private many times, but no one can explain clearly how you did it.
Can you share it with me?"
He Nan avoided the topic with a joke: "If my surname was Qi, I might even have signed an armistice agreement with Hao Gao by now."
Although it sounds like bragging, it is not groundless - He Nan relied on vertical and horizontal mediation to help the Jinghong Sect. He even preset three plans when he received this task.
, and continue to add, delete and modify as the situation changes. If he was really born into a prominent family in the capital, he might be able to go on missions with the envoys at this age and form contracts with surrounding countries. But how can he get it now?
With such a high reputation, Li Zhanchun's ability to entrust him with the task of "restraining himself from the world" is a sign of great trust in him.
"No matter what, we all owe you a favor." Chen Longque didn't laugh because of He Nan's joke. He slung the sword box on his back and walked out of the post: "Not only do we owe you a favor, we also owe you a favor here.
Your share."
The three of them walked up the mountain road together, and He Nan also responded to Chen Longque's gratitude: "Then let's wait until one day when I can use it, but there is one thing I really want to talk about this time.
Senior Brother, please ask..."
"I have heard some rumors that there are ten famous swords in this world. I also thought that you, senior brother, are a lover of swords. I wonder if you can help me clarify my doubts - what kind of legends do these ten famous swords have?
Whose hands is it now?"
This question happened to be about Chen Longque's area of expertise - in fact, He Nan's original intention was to ask Chen Longque about some stories about people who would do anything to seize the sword, but it was not necessary to ask that person.
Famous sword legends, but these words were also used by He Nan to make Chen Longque happy and let him talk freely. What's more, the mountain road is still quite far away, so just listen to some stories on the way.
Sure enough, after talking about the famous sword, Chen Longque's usually gloomy face also showed a trace of sincere joy: "Since you asked, I will tell you in reverse order..."
The concept of "evaluating famous swords" has been around since ancient times. It can be traced back to the "Sword Manual" thousands of years ago, which compiled the world's famous swords and their legends into a book. There are nearly a hundred swords included in the manual.
More. It’s just that the time when this book of divine swords was written was so long ago that many famous swords have been lost, and the stories attached to them are also difficult to distinguish between true and false and cannot be verified, so it has gradually been regarded as a collection of supernatural beings.
The "Top Ten Famous Swords" in today's world were compiled by a wise man named "Hua Taoist" who loved to collect rumors about the world twenty years ago. It is said that this person was born in the Taoist sect and had experienced many hardships, especially in the world of martial arts.
His calligraphy and paintings are famous for his reputation, and the list of the Ten Famous Swordsmen he drew was a sensation and was regarded as a standard among swordsmen.
It is true that there are not only ten famous swords, but Taoist painters also have their own criteria for judging them. Among them, the material of the sword itself, the strength of the sword holder and the combat record of the sword are weighted according to legend, so even though there are many swords
He was also qualified to occupy a place, but in the end, he had to despair because he was not good enough in one aspect.
"Let's talk about this benchmark sword first, as a watershed one..." While Chen Longque was talking, he opened the bottom of the sword box and took out a book with rolled corners.
It turned out to be the collection of the Ten Famous Swords he was talking about. It seemed that he had been reading it for many years. "It seems that its name has the same purpose as the word Fenshui."
The tenth sword is called "Cut the Sea".
"The name of this sword is quite loud, and its background is also great. It can even be said to be the one with the longest history in the collection of swords...Has Xue Wudi heard of it?" If Chen Longque doesn't practice any day,
Now that I have mastered the sword, maybe I can change my career to storytelling, telling stories and doing interactive things.
"The strongest leader of the Sihai Gang..." Speaking of the Sihai Gang, He Nan was very familiar with it. He had just forced his gang leader to death in full view of the public a few days ago.
It’s hard to even dare to walk on the waterway.
Chen Longque nodded: "Yes, Xue Wudi has unparalleled martial arts skills. Although the sword is not his best weapon, he has such a sword that never leaves his body. The word 'cut the sea' is also because of his relationship with
At that time, the Japanese giant pirates got their name after fighting fiercely on a small island in the East China Sea. It is said that Xue Wudi at that time split the waves hundreds of feet with this sword, and finally killed the Japanese pirates. This sword was also regarded as a suppressor by the Sihai Gang.
It’s a treasure of the gang, but the successors of the Xue family don’t have any outstanding swordsmen, and the leader of the Sihai Gang doesn’t have any swordsmen either, so I haven’t seen Gehai appear in the world for a while.”
"It's true..." He Nan obviously didn't believe it.
"It's true, but the details of the fight are just a story - the two were dueling for a duel, and there were no bystanders. Naturally, in the end, it was Xue Wudi who said whatever he said and everyone listened, but with his unique skills
Judging from the abilities of top masters, even if they are not as exaggerated as a hundred feet, there are definitely dozens of feet." Even Chen Longque would not completely believe the stories in the collection, perhaps because he is a serious swordsman.
, I won’t be like those laymen who just hear it from hearsay.
"The ninth sword... Qingluo Xiaofan flutters at Liuying. The name of the sword is based on a poem." Chen Longque slowly chanted, "This sword is three feet long, one inch wide, the handle is half a foot long, and the edge is as thin as
It has cicada wings and a sword like a fan. It is difficult to find its head under the sun, and its shape cannot be seen under the darkness of night...hence the name 'Fluttering Firefly'."
He Nan realized that something was unusual and said with a smile: "This sword... the information is a little too detailed, isn't it?"
Chen Longque smiled proudly and took out the sword from the sword box on his back, showing it in front of their eyes: "Because that sword... is right here."
"But I haven't seen it last year..." No wonder the senior brother described the appearance of the sword in such detail. It turned out to be his own. However, as He Nan's memories surged, senior brother Chen did a trick when he surrounded and killed Qing-faced Yama last year.
Generally, seven or eight swords have been replaced, but there is no treasure like this treasure whose blade is almost transparent under the sunlight.
Chen Longque nodded, and then narrated the origin of this "Fluttering Firefly": "The owner of this sword when it first became famous was a unique figure in the south of the Yangtze River seventy years ago. Cao Cao, who was known as the 'Thousand Hearts Slayer'
Ji was also recognized as the top two swordsman in the world at that time - he and the other one both believed that they could be the best in the world, and their principles of swordsmanship were also completely different. They competed for the top spot and to prove their martial arts.
They met for a duel in the Xiamachuan River Valley, and the final result..."
"Cao Ji died in the battle, and his body was nowhere to be found. It is said that his opponent had hastily repaired a tomb and buried it, and the weapon he used to use during his lifetime was left there as his tombstone to accompany the resting owner -
—However, there are always some young people in this world who are greedy for profit. A few years later, they went deep into the valley and stole this sword. Since then, it has been wandering around the world."
"It was by chance that I got this sword - in the spring of this year, I traveled with Xiao Kelong for a while for training, and happened to save a wealthy businessman from a group of horse thieves, and the wealthy businessman knew that I loved swords.
He gave me this sword as a gift of thanks."
He Nan praised the best of both worlds, and then moved the topic forward: "What happened to the man who had a sword fight with Cao Ji? Since he survived, he must be on the list!"
Chen Longque nodded: "That's true, but this one is really a more incredible legend. It's not an exaggeration to say that he is the number one swordsman in the past century, and the sword he holds is also ranked higher -
—But I’d better give it a try for now, and you can guess where his sword ranks?”
"Listening to your tone, Senior Brother, this sword must be at least one of the top three, right?" He Nan said with a smile, and the admiration in Chen Longque's expression was beyond words.
The eldest brother smiled back: "I'd better continue telling you in order, lest you lose interest in others after listening to his story..."
