The Birth of Tianjiao Chapter 37: Xi Kuang Takes His Life
The smoke rises from the Hanyang tree in the distant river, and the empty swallows from the Yellow Crane Tower return.
At midnight in the afternoon, Dugu Xiaotian was walking in the lively streets of Hanyang, watching the bustling people, laughing and chatting, and feeling filled with emotion. In the Ming Dynasty, wars mostly occurred in the north. There had been no wars in the Yangtze River Basin of the Central Plains for a long time, and the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, which was very different from the north.
"When will the people in the north be able to live such a happy life?" Dugu Xiaotian sighed.
After walking on the street for a while, Dugu Xiaotian arrived at "Zhang's Craftsman's Shop" and saw Zhang's master and apprentice still busy.
"Master Liu, do I need to wait a little longer to get my Pingtian Sword?"
Zhang Dezhi laughed loudly, "Little brother, you came just in time, the sword is being drawn, and there is still time for a cup of tea. Please wait a moment."
Dugu Xiaotian smiled slightly, "Thank you for your hard work, masters. I'll just wait in the shop."
After a while, Zhang Dezhi came over with a sheathed "giant sword" in his arms. He carefully placed the "giant sword" on the weapon rack. He panted and said, "Please take a look at it, young hero!".
Dugu Xiaotian grabbed the scabbard, slowly pulled out the new Pingtian Sword with his right hand, and looked at it intently.
This is a "door panel" giant sword with a silver-purple sword body. The sword is wide and thick. The tip of the sword is polished into a tapered shape, which does not affect the front thrust. There is a miniature handrail on the hilt, which can be used as an arm shield.
General use.
Dugu Xiaotian gently touched the word "平" on the hilt of the sword with his left hand, and couldn't put it down for a while!
He used Hongmeng Jin and lightly chopped at the sword test stone in the blacksmith shop. "Poof", the sword test stone was easily divided into two halves. Master Zhang and his disciples were shocked when they saw it.
"It's not a good place to test swords here. If I use Hongmeng's true strength on the sword, I will definitely damage a lot of items in the shop." Dugu Xiaotian thought to himself, he put the sword into its sheath, thanked Zhang's master and apprentice, and went to Gui
Go hiking in the mountains.
At the second watch, Guishan, Yueshu Pavilion, the cold moon is miserable, and there is no one around.
Dugu Xiaotian looked at the bright moon in the sky and was silent for a long time. He lowered his head and touched the word "平" on the hilt, pulled out the newly forged Pingtian Sword, and slowly used his own creation of Breeze, Drizzle, and Pine Forest.
, waves, yellow sand, avalanche sword style.
Six different natural artistic conceptions were slowly released from the New Pingtian Sword, as if they resonated with Guishan, a beautiful place in the world. During the swing of the Pingtian Sword, it made a gentle hum.
The "Xuangui Jie" technique among the Seven Cuts of Zhenwu appeared in Dugu Xiaotian's mind again. The scene of the battle with the Great Sun Dharma King that day made Yunshi still remember this technique.
Dugu Xiaotian's sword style suddenly changed. The Pingtian Sword in his hand no longer slashed and stabbed, but continued to make various blocking movements.
"The solitary peaks of Guishan Mountain stand tall, and the mainstays flow in the middle, and they will not fall for thousands of years!" Dugu Xiaotian murmured to himself. He used the Pingtian Sword to use "Black Turtle Cut", and gradually the majestic image of Guishan Mountain appeared in his mind.
screen.
At this time, the blue air ball in Xiaotian's mind flashed several times. "Guishan pose"! He shouted softly, grabbed the armrest on the hilt, and gently rotated the sword in front of him. The Pingtian sword spun more and more.
Soon, there was an explosion of "Woo-Woo", and a huge shield seemed to be formed in front of Xiaotian, which was indestructible.
An hour later, a feeling of weakness invaded Dugu Xiaotian's heart, causing him to wake up.
Dugu Xiaotian realized that he had very little internal strength left at this time, and quickly stopped the rotation of the sword in his hand. "Pfft", he threw the Pingtian Sword on the ground of Guishan, and the long sword reached the hilt. He did not dare to neglect,
Meditate cross-legged and regain your true strength.
If gold is born in the soil, gold will be born in the mountains, and the rocks will be nourished by water. If the soil gathers together to form a mountain, the mountains must have feldspar, so gold will be born in the soil.
When the Pingtian Sword was inserted into the soil of Guishan, the Hongmeng's true energy on the sword had not dissipated, and the meaning of Guishan was still there. It actually produced a suction force, absorbing the essence of gold and stone bred in the soil of Guishan.
Dugu Xiaotian meditated in Yueshu Pavilion for two hours and had already recovered his inner strength. He walked to the Pingtian Sword, reached out and pulled out the sword.
"Huh?" Dugu Xiaotian felt that the sword in his hand was a little heavier, and he was puzzled. "This time, I realized that my Hongmeng True Strength has advanced to the middle stage of the eighth level. How can I pick up the Pingtian Sword? It feels better than before.
A little heavier?"
Xiaotian didn't know that the blade of the Pingtian Sword absorbed the essence of gold and stone nurtured by Guishan under the soil for a full hour. It stopped absorbing when the remaining Hongmeng true energy and the connotation of Guishan on the sword dissipated. At this time, the sword had already
It has gained six kilograms compared to before, weighing 92 kilograms.
Dugu Xiaotian's internal strength had improved at this time, and he did not feel the increased weight of the Pingtian Sword significantly, so he did not investigate further. Seeing that the sky was getting brighter, he used Qinggong and Shenfa and returned to the inn in the city to rest.
The Yellow Crane Tower is located in Wuchang, Hubei Province. It is located on the top of Snake Mountain and is close to the Yangtze River. It breaks through the peaks of Bashan and receives the Xiaoxiang cloud water. The roaring Yangtze River roars in. It is located at the intersection of the hinterland of Sanchu and the Han River.
The wind and rain, mountains, neon lights, waves, ships, tall buildings and bridges on both sides of the Yellow Crane Tower interweave into a picturesque landscape that makes tourists intoxicated and unwilling to go back.
"The pavilions across the river are towering, and the mountains and rivers of Chu are shrinking to the ground." Dugu Xiaotian softly recited this couplet at the entrance of Yellow Crane Tower, climbed to the second floor, and sat by the window.
It was still early for the Wudang Sect to meet. After Dugu Xiaotian came back from Guishan to rest for a day, he came to Snake Mountain to continue studying martial arts.
He took off the Pingtian Sword and placed it on a stool beside him. He ordered half a catty of soju, a plate of beef, and a plate of peanuts from the store. He ate while admiring the river view.
"Brother, can we have a few drinks together?" I saw a handsome young man in a green shirt walking over, waving a folding fan.
When Dugu Xiaotian saw this person, he couldn't help but think of Wang Changshui, the young man in white whom he met in Zhongwei City, Shenyang. He felt a shiver in his heart and clasped his fists slightly: "Brother, don't be surprised, I like to be alone and don't like to socialize, please
Forgive me!"
The young master in green shirt wasn't upset at all when he heard this. He smiled slightly and said, "I'm the Western Kuang Ren Dukuang. I'm here to see Xiaotian today. We have something important to discuss with you."
Dugu Xiaotian was startled, "Brother Ren, you have traveled thousands of miles to find me, what are you doing?"
Ren Dukuang didn't answer in a hurry. He sat opposite Xiaotian and shouted to the waiter: "Staff, bring a jar of the best "Hanfen wine" from Yellow Crane Tower, and add the two specialties of Braised Wuchang Fish and Pearl Motoko."
Add it."
After that, he gently shook the folding fan and said to Dugu Xiaotian with a smile: "Brother Wang, don't be anxious. Let's enjoy the fine wine and food first, and then we'll talk in detail."
"This person is the young master of the Sun and Moon Demon Sect, and his behavior must be weird and ruthless. I have to be careful!" Dugu Xiaotian thought to himself.
Ren Dukuang said a few polite words first, then shook his folding fan and talked happily about some anecdotes that had happened recently. Xiaotian just listened silently and did not respond.
After the new food and wine arrived, Ren Dukuang poured two glasses of wine and drank it, then took a few bites of the food and ate it, then motioned to Xiaotian to share.
Although Dugu Xiaotian saw that he had already tasted the newly added food and wine, he only ate and drank the food and wine he ordered and did not touch any of the food and wine added by Ren Dukuang.
After a moment and three quarters passed like this, Ren Dukuang lowered his voice and said: "Brother Wang, a martial arts conference will be held in Datong, Shanxi in ten days. Our Sun Moon God Sect wants to win the position of leader of the martial arts alliance. I hope you can help us!"
Hearing this, Dugu Xiaotian slowly shook his head. "I am just a common man, and I don't want to participate in the struggle for power and wealth in the world."
Ren Dukuang smiled slightly, "Brother Wang, after everything is done, I, the Sun and Moon Sect, will grant you the position of deputy leader, below one person and above ten thousand people. You can take whatever you want with beautiful women and treasures, how about it?"
"The Sun Moon Sect has done many unjust things in the martial arts world in recent years, and even its members have done evil. I don't want to be a part of it!" Dugu Xiaotian said resolutely.
"Since Brother Wang doesn't accept my invitation from the Sun Moon God Sect, it will be a stumbling block for us to dominate the martial arts world. Don't blame me for being ruthless!" Ren Dukuang's face darkened and he said grimly.
Duguxiao knew that he was about to take action, so he secretly gathered his inner energy. However, as soon as he raised his energy, he felt a sharp pain in his lower abdomen, and at the same time, his brain began to become dizzy!
"Oops, I've been poisoned!" Xiaotian thought to himself as he stumbled and fell to the ground.
"'The Laughing Man' will be removed from the arena today!" Ren Dukuang stood up and slapped Dugu Xiaotian Tianling Gai with his palm.
