Zhikarizhen and Aguang returned to Yantang Village all the way. The silver moon was in full bloom, and the reeds at the entrance of the village were as white as snow.
The sword wind was whistling and reed flowers were flying. A dozen young and strong carp men held long swords, leaping forward and backward, catching swords and practicing under the supervision of Uncle Meng. After a few cursory glances, Zhikari saw that the carp men's sword skills were diverse and bizarre.
, presumably derived from different ancient spirits. They did not practice pure and turbid qi, but only waited for the sword embryo to form, and then the sword qi would naturally emerge.
This is the oldest and purest sword cultivation method.
"A Guang!" "A Guang, you haven't come to practice sword practice for several days!" "A Guang, stop doing those useless things and come over here and give me a few moves!" When the carp people saw A Guang, they stopped to greet him.
.
"Concentrate on your sword practice!" Uncle Meng vibrated the broad sword in his hand, buzzing, "The battlefield is changing rapidly, and the sword has no eyes, so there is no room for distractions? Don't continue!" He nodded to A Guang, his eyes falling on
Zhikarizhen leaned on the bone sword that was used as a crutch, turned his head away, and sighed sadly.
Zhikarizhen slowly walked around the carp people, and after walking far away, he could still faintly hear their discussions: "It seems that Ah Zhen is completely useless." "It's a pity that the century-old black-headed centipede grass can't compete with the ancient people."
"Spirit exchange is a good swordsmanship!" "Since Ah Zhen is dead, why is he still holding Uncle Meng's Shadow Shark Demon Sword?"
Aguang glanced at Zhikarizhen uneasily and whispered: "Don't take it to heart. Everyone is just talking casually, there is no harm."
Zhikari smiled lightly and didn't mind. Since he couldn't practice swordsmanship, he had to give up all his training resources. This is the tradition of carp: every carp man in the gathering place must support the carp who are expected to become warriors.
Selflessly dedicate everything you have. Most of the carp warriors will die in Tianhe, and the survivors, like Uncle Meng, will return to their homeland and train the next generation of carp warriors.
"There is no way, everyone has difficulties." Aguang lowered his head and walked along the dirt road covered with grass. Deep in the grass, there were scattered mud holes, with a few strings of blackened pickled fish hanging from the holes.
Dried insect meat and dried loach.
"I know." Zhi Kaizhen supported the bone sword and struggled to cross a raised stone bump. Yantang Village is mostly saline-alkali land, with few products and no crops can be grown. There are swamps nearby and sparse vegetation, most of which
The old, weak, sick and disabled villagers are all hungry and hungry. Only people like Aguang can get enough supplies.
The only valuable thing in the village is a salt well, which can dig out rare deep purple salt crystals. This kind of purple salt crystal is not only delicious, it can withstand hunger and increase strength, but it can also nourish sword fetuses. It is mainly donated to people passing through Yantang Village.
Carp Warrior.
In Zhikarizhen's view, these carp people are hot-headed and dull-witted. They have no plans for themselves and blindly conquer Tianhe. Even if they are lucky enough to transform into a dragon one day, they will definitely fall prey to the masters of Lianxu Hedao.
At the door of his mud hole, several elderly carp people were wandering around and looking around, as if they had been waiting for a long time.
Zhikarizhen walked over slowly, and an old carp man with a brown beard saw Aguang. He hesitated for a moment and then came forward to say hello: "Azhen, have you been feeling better recently?"
Zhikarizhen shook his head: "It's not that easy to recover."
Several carp people exchanged glances, and the old carp man with brown beard looked troubled: "Azhen, you have been awakened for a while, and you also know the rules of the village. This..."
Just as Aguang was about to speak, Zhikarizhen grabbed him and said calmly: "I understand, the rations in the village are not much, so you don't need to share my share in the future. I will find a way on my own."
The brown-bearded old carp man smiled bitterly: "You are inconvenient now, how can you live without food rations? It's just in terms of quantity... After all, you have to make Aguang and the others well fed so that you can have the energy to practice swordsmanship, right?" p>
Zhikarizhen nodded, held Aguang down again, and shook his head at him. Several carp people comforted Zhikarizhen one after another. The brown-bearded old carp man hesitated for a while, and his eyes fell on the Shadow Shark Demonic Bone Sword.
I hesitate to speak.
Zhikarizhen laughed dumbly: "This sword fell into my hand and can only be used as a crutch. Why not give it back to Uncle Meng." He supported Aguang with one hand and handed the bone sword over to him with the other hand.
The brown-bearded old carp man smiled awkwardly and reached out to pick it up. The sword edge was suddenly tightly grasped by another hand, making him unable to move.
"You?" The brown-bearded old carp man looked at A Guang in surprise.
"No one... can take away the sword of a carp warrior!" Aguang's little face turned red from suppressing his emotions, and he lowered his head and stared at the gray-white bone sword.
"Ah Guang... Alas, with Ah Zhen's condition, I'm afraid he won't be able to become a carp warrior." The old carp man sighed heavily, "This sword should find a carp that is more suitable for it. It can't be used as a walking stick for the rest of its life, right?
”
"Uncle Meng once said, if the sword is with the carp, the sword will die with the carp!" Aguang said stubbornly, holding his neck.
"Ah Guang!" A look of displeasure appeared on the old carp's face, "I know that you and Ah Zhen have a good relationship. Before he awakened, you were always taking care of him. You treated him as your own brother. Back then, you were the same
Egg’s younger brother died of illness, and everyone knows how sad you are.”
Aguang's beard trembled slightly, his eyes couldn't help but turn red, and he kept his head in silence.
The old carp man said sternly: "But all the carp in the world are our relatives! If this sword is handed over to a real carp warrior, it can kill more monsters and save his life.
,Save more carp warriors!"
"Aguang, let go." Zhikari sighed softly. Although this bone sword is strange, it cannot be called a peerless sword. Rather than falling out with the carp man because of it, it is better to exchange some benefits.
.
A Guang still didn't speak, his hand tightly grasped the blade of the sword, and the slender veins were exposed, like tough and twisted young vines.
Everyone looked at each other in shock. After a moment, blood slowly flowed out from the sharp sword blade and fell to the ground with a soft "pop" sound.
There was deathly silence all around, "Pah - pah - pah -" blood drops dripped down drop by drop, staining the grass blades on the ground red, and the moonlight made them as red as fire.
"Azhen." The carp man boy slowly raised his head and looked at Zhikarizhen, tears welling up in his eyes, "Where is your energy?"
Zhikarizhen was slightly startled, and the carp boy's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and hissed: "Where is your energy?"
"Conquering the Tianhe River and leaping into the clouds are the lifelong dreams of all carp. But if such a dream requires a sword and needs to take away another carp's dream -" Aguang raised his head, tears flowing down his cheeks, "Such a dream
, I, Aguang, don’t want it!”
The old carp man with a brown beard was shocked all over and became furious: "You are so treasonous! Ah Guang, you are so treasonous and unethical!" The other carp men shook their beards and rebuked one after another. One carp man rushed forward and reached out to snatch the bone.
Sword.
"Qiang——" Suddenly, a slight sword cry rang out from A Guang's body. The second sound, the third sound... were like trickles one after another, converging from the silent place, setting off a surging wave like a frenzy.
Sword style.
"Condensed sword embryo!" All the carp people were shocked.
A ray of moonlight suddenly shot down from the night sky and fell on A Guang, shining like a silver man. Invisible sword energy shot out from the body and shot out in all directions. The carp people screamed and backed away, and then backed away, even the screams were shouted.
The sound of the sword drowned out.
Under the night sky and the Milky Way, only the sonorous sound of the carp man's sword rushed up and reverberated passionately.
"This Shadow Shark Demonic Sword is actually not that good. It's too evil, messy and impure, and the hilt doesn't fit the shape of my hand." Zikari was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and took a little bit from A Guang's hand.
Withdraw the bone sword and hold it firmly in the palm of your hand.
"But now, Aguang, your blood is on the sword's edge." Zhikarizhen stared at the carp boy and said word by word, "So, this is the best sword."
"Thank you, Aguang."
"Azhen!" Aguang burst into tears, whipped out his rattan sword and pointed it high at Tianhe, "Azhen and Aguang will definitely fight against Tianhe together and jump over the dragon gate!"
Zhi Kaizhen smiled slightly, supported A Guang, and slowly raised the bone sword.
The two swords, side by side, point to the unfathomable heights in the sky.
"A-Zhen and A-Guang will definitely fight together in the Tianhe River and leap over the Dragon Gate!" The boy's shout was like the unruly wind, crossing the silver moon, the Tianhe River, and the desolate and barren Yantang Village...
And the wind can always blow to the farthest place.
Zhikarizhen stood with his sword raised, and Qingfeng's firm and majestic eyes flashed in his mind.
"The so-called sword cultivation is nothing more than a single sword attack."
