Chapter 229 Huashan Sword Sect! The origin of the four swords!
"Is there a deep canyon south of Xihua Mountain?" Wei An asked.
"Yes, yes, there is a canyon to the south."
The white-bearded man nodded and said: "Old man has been to that place. The canyon is quite large and deep, and there are so many poisonous insects and beasts. Ordinary medicinal farmers dare not run into it casually."
Wei An understood and asked: "Where has your furthest depth reached? Is it more than thirty miles?"
"Thirty miles?"
The white-bearded man shook his head and smiled, "I haven't gone that deep before, but there are some in ten or so miles."
Wei An thinks about it too.
For a person who has never practiced martial arts, the canyon is such a dangerous place, so naturally he would not dare to run into the depths casually.
Wei An thought for a while and asked, "Has anyone ever explored that canyon carefully?"
The white-bearded master nodded and said, "It's true. People from the Huashan Sword Sect must have explored the entire canyon. After all, that's their territory."
Huashan Sword Sect...
Wei An had just arrived, and he hadn't had time to do some inventory of the various forces in Jianzhou. He had only heard of the Huashan Sword Sect, but didn't know much about it.
Fortunately, Mr. Whitebeard likes to chat with people, and he kept talking: "The Huashan Mountains are divided into two sections, the east and west. To the east is Donghua Mountain, where the Huashan Sword Sect established its sect.
To the west is Xihua Mountain, which is an important transportation road. Next to it is Xihua City, which has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.
However, in fact, the entire Huashan Mountain Range belongs to the Huashan Sword Sect, including Xihua City, which also relies on the Huashan Sword Sect for protection, although their main area of activity is over the East Huashan Mountain."
Wei An understood, and some vague plans suddenly emerged in his mind.
Soon, he returned to Xihua City and entered a teahouse.
In the teahouse where this happened, the tea-drinking guests were listening with great interest to the storyteller telling a heroic story about the rivers and lakes.
The storyteller worked hard to tell stories, telling a story about the love and hatred between children in the Jianghu, and told it vividly and wonderfully. Unfortunately, there were not many customers who were willing to reward them, and most of them were prostitutes for free.
Wei An was silent for a moment, then threw away ten thousand low-grade rough stones.
"Ten thousand reward!"
"How proud!"
"Thank you, boss. Good luck, boss!"
Everyone in the building stood in awe, and the storyteller hurriedly stood up and bowed to express his thanks.
After a while, the storyteller finished talking about the meal. He said, "Let's listen to the explanation next time" and walked off the stage.
The old gentleman walked up to Wei An, cupped his hands, and said with a smile on his face: "Young Master is so heroic, I am deeply grateful."
Wei An stretched out his hand as a gesture of invitation and said, "Sit down and let's chat."
The old gentleman sat down quickly and listened to his wishes.
Wei An inquired: "Old sir, I am a foreigner. I came to Jianzhou for the first time. I don't understand the rules of the world here. Please tell me what powerful forces there are in Jianzhou."
Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly became energetic and said: "The strongest person in Jianzhou is undoubtedly our Sword King 'Shangguan Jinlin'. In this world, blood is the highest and swordsmanship is the highest, but the Sword King is both."
And if you have it, how can you not be strong?"
Wei An nodded.
The old gentleman took a sip of tea and continued: "There are five major forces under the Sword King, four are good and one is evil.
The former are Lingnan Zhujia, Taiyi Sect, Huashan Jianzong, and Mingjian Villa.
The last major force is the ‘Congxin Sect’, which is a demonic cult and cannot be tolerated by the righteous way.”
Wei An responded casually: "The mountain gate of Huashan Sword Sect is just east of Xihua City, right?"
"Yes, that's the Huashan Sword Sect."
When the old gentleman said this, a glow appeared on his face, "To be honest, my grandfather was once a disciple of Huashan, and his cultivation level reached the fourth level. He was very powerful. Unfortunately, he died in battle later.
My grandson is currently practicing in the Huashan Sword Sect. Although he is still an outer disciple, I believe he will soon be promoted to the inner sect."
Wei An smiled, nodded and said, "Then tell me more about the Huashan Sword Sect."
"Easy to say."
The old gentleman was energetic and eloquent.
"The current head of the Huashan Sword Sect is Mu Tianhe, who is also the holder of the 'Junzi Sword'. His wife is Shangguan Fenghua, the daughter of the Sword King, the holder of the 'Jade Girl Sword'. They have a pair of children, their son is Mu
The hero is holding the 'Hero Sword', and the daughter is called Mu Xinyue, holding the 'Lady Sword'. This family is full of heroes."
"In addition, the strongest master of the Huashan Sword Sect is not Mu Tianhe, but his father, King Mu, who is also the holder of the 'Shadowless Sword'."
Wei An asked curiously: "Does the Huashan Sword Sect all have one person and one sword?"
The old man's face changed, and he said seriously: "Of course it's one person and one sword. In Jianzhou, the sword is the most respected thing. A person will serve a good sword all his life. The sword is there for the person, but the sword destroys the person."
Wei An took a breath and said, "What if it was accidentally destroyed during the battle? Do you really want to commit suicide to apologize?"
"Sir, please don't make excuses."
The old gentleman chuckled and said: "Although everyone in Jianzhou loves swords, not everyone is so obsessed with them that they will die for them.
The reason for this saying is that the swords forged in Jianzhou are very unique and are made of unique materials on the Holy Sword Mountain.
The grade of this kind of sword is not high at the beginning, only dark iron grade. But as long as you get the sword and nourish the sword body with your energy and spirit all the year round, the grade of the sword will continue to improve, possibly to morning gold.
Level, Blazing Gold level.
Moreover, the compatibility between the sword intent you have developed and yourself can exceed 100%, reaching 110%, 120% or even higher."
120%!!
Wei An couldn't help but take a deep breath.
To be honest, among the treasures he owns, the one that matches him the most is the Tianya Sword, which matches 100%.
Wei An originally thought that 100% fit was the limit, but he didn't expect that the fit could be even higher.
What does it mean when the compatibility exceeds 100%? The Noble Phantasm itself can bring an increase in strength to the owner.
For example, your strength is originally 100 points, but with the blessing of a Noble Phantasm with a compatibility of 120%, your strength will definitely increase, possibly reaching 120 points.
"It turns out that the sword cultivators in Jianzhou keep their swords as pets. The stronger they are, the stronger their swords will be."
"Subject to personal ability, a person can only raise one sword at most."
"Of course, this is not absolute. There must be people who can keep more than one sword."
Wei An became more thoughtful and said with a smile: "Since there are people who keep swords, there must be people who snatch other people's swords, right?"
"That's right, those evil people from the Congxin Sect like to steal other people's swords. They use evil magic to contaminate other people's swords, cut off the close relationship between the sword and the original owner, and turn it into a magic sword.
For his own use, the methods are extremely vicious and despised by others." The old gentleman said angrily.
Wei An asked: "What about the famous and upright sect? What if a master wants to entrust the sword he has raised all his life to his descendants before he dies?"
The old gentleman nodded and said: "This is also possible, but the sword will be put into the 'Sword Washing Pool' to wash away the breath of the original owner and retain the purest sword intention before handing it to the next generation of owners."
He thought for a while and added, for example, the Huashan Sword Sect, the Junzi Sword and the Jade Girl Sword mentioned just now, are actually peerless swords that have been passed down from generation to generation."
"Sword washing pool, sword inheritance..."
It is indeed a knowledge of swordsmanship, broad and profound.
Wei An couldn't help but marvel, he had broadened his knowledge today.
He asked again: "What is the inherited technique of Huashan Sword Sect?"
"That's a lot."
The old man raised his fingers and said, "Huashan Sword Sect has been passed down for thousands of years, and its sword techniques have multiplied to the extreme. There are "Yangwu Divine Sword", "Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng", "Bao Yuan Sword Technique", and "Deathly Chain".
"Sword", "Liuhe Sword Technique", etc., there are also "Jade Girl Sword Technique", "Guang Han Miao Sword", etc. that are suitable for women's training. Take any one of them and they are all powerful sword techniques that sweep the world."
Wei An listened carefully and got a general idea first.
Then!
Wei An, who was already worried, no longer hesitated, left Xihua City and headed straight for Donghua Mountain.
Pointing his toes, he soared into the sky, flew in the air, crossed the Xihua Mountain area, and soon arrived at Donghua Mountain.
From the topography point of view, the mountains on the Xihua Mountain side are undulating and complicated, while the Donghua Mountain has only one peak. The mountain is majestic and towers into the sky, like a pillar reaching the sky.
Wei An flew over and circled around Donghua Mountain, overlooking the comings and goings. He soon saw some tall buildings extending from the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain.
It is indeed a super large sect. The scale of the buildings is so large that it is dizzying, even surpassing the Pantian Sect.
"Well, my background is pretty good."
Wei An shook his shoulders and dived down.
During the roar, he landed directly at the mountain gate.
An invisible pressure surged out and spread to the entire mountain peak.
"you……"
Several disciples guarding the mountain were horrified. They were so shocked that they froze and could not move. They did not even have the courage to draw their swords.
"Which friend is here to visit?"
Not long after, a long roar came.
Wei An raised his head and saw two figures flying down the mountain quickly, landing before the sound could be heard.
These two people, a boy and a girl, are quite old.
The man has gray hair, a long beard, a slim and tall figure, and is wearing a simple blue robe. He is holding a long sword in his hand. The scabbard is also blue, and the sword grid is inlaid with three emeralds.
The woman also has gray hair, her figure has long been out of shape, she looks a little bloated, her face is very big, her eyes look slanted and long, and there is only a slit left when she squints.
She held a short sword in her hand, which was very small and delicate. The scabbard was royal blue and very beautiful.
As soon as the two landed, they looked at Wei An up and down, extremely surprised at his youth.
Just now they clearly felt a powerful coercion radiating in all directions. Their cultivation levels were extremely advanced, and they were most likely first-level peak masters.
Unexpectedly, the person who came turned out to be a young man with a very unfamiliar face that he had never seen before.
"Who is your honor?"
The old man in green robe was silent for a moment, not daring to be careless. A smile appeared on his face, and he raised his hands and asked.
Wei An replied: "I, Ji Canghai, have no family or sect, and travel all over the world. I happened to pass by this place. Because I admire the reputation of the Huashan Sword Sect, I came here to pay a visit."
"Ji Canghai?"
The two of them made eye contact, but neither of them had heard of this name. The intention of the person who came was unknown, whether it was good or evil.
then!
"It turns out that we are disrespectful, Master Ji."
The old man in green robe laughed and extended his hand in a gesture of invitation, "We are a guest from afar. Please invite Master Ji to enter the mountain gate and have a cup of tea."
"Thank you."
Wei An walked into the mountain gate calmly.
"This is your first time to be a guest of our Huashan Sword Sect, Master Ji." The old man in green robe laughed, "Come on, come on, let me introduce you to the beautiful scenery of our Huashan Mountain."
He pointed to the beautiful scenery everywhere, "There are countless grand scenes in our Huashan Mountain. You can see the mountain peaks in the distance, the lush forests, the deep and steep valleys, the clear water nearby, the springs chasing the shadows of the clouds, and the thousands of pearls. It is very interesting."
"
Wei An smiled and felt that this person was really disrespecting his talents by not becoming a tour guide. He cupped his hands and said, "I haven't asked for your name yet."
The old man in green robe smiled and replied: "I'm Lu Jinlin, she is my daughter-in-law Deng Linghua, and we are both guardian elders of the Huashan Sword Sect."
Wei An understood, nodded and said: "Don't worry, you two, Ji is not here to cause trouble."
"What are you talking about?"
Lu Jinlin smiled on his face, but was extremely speechless in his heart.
Haha, where do you think this place, the majestic Huashan Sword Sect, is a place where cats and dogs can run wild?
However, listening to Wei An's tone, Lu Jinlin couldn't figure out his details for a while, so he didn't dare to get angry casually, so he just smiled and tried to deal with it.
The three of them walked all the way to the top of the mountain.
After a while, Wei An came to a magnificent hall and immediately felt five astonishing pressures inside the hall.
He stopped and stood in front of the door, calmly.
Lu Jinlin took the lead to go in. After a while, he turned back, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Master Ji, the sect master invites you."
Wei An stepped into the hall and immediately saw five figures, one sitting north and facing south, and four people standing on both sides.
The man sitting north and facing south is an imposing figure, in his forties or fifties, in his prime. He is wearing a snow-white brocade robe with a picture of tigers chasing deer embroidered on the robe.
In this person's hand, naturally, there is a long sword that is all white. The scabbard is dotted with pink diamonds, twinkling like stars, noble and gorgeous.
Wei An stepped forward, cupped his hands and said, "Ji has met Sect Master Mu and has admired his name for a long time."
Mu Tianhe stood up, returned the gift with his hands, and said politely: "Ji Daxia is young and has a lot of talent. On behalf of the Huashan Sword Sect, I welcome you."
Wei An continued: "Ji came here in a hurry and took the liberty to come to the door and make trouble. Please don't be offended by Sect Master Mu."
"What are you talking about?"
Mu Tianhe smiled warmly and said meaningfully: "We, the Huashan Sword Sect, have always been hospitable and welcome friends from all over the world to come and be our guests.
However, our Huashan Sword Sect is not a small sect, and we are familiar with heroes from all walks of life in the world. A young and strong person like Ji Daxia cannot be an unknown person, but none of us has heard of your name.
But I wonder if Master Ji can tell us your origins?"
Wei An paused for a moment and replied: "I dare not deceive Sect Master Mu. Ji Canghai is not my real name. It's just that when I left home, the elders in the family asked me not to reveal my identity, so I had no choice but to give it a random name."
"The elders in the family..."
These four words made everyone think, and they couldn't help but guess that Ji Canghai was most likely a descendant of a wealthy family or a descendant of a reclusive sect who came out to practice.
Mu Tianhe pondered for a moment.
People have already made it clear that Ji Canghai's name is a pseudonym, and it is not convenient for him to reveal his true identity, nor can he force it.
Then he said: "It's okay, I wonder if Hero Ji came to our Huashan Sword Sect for fun, or?"
Wei An continued: "The thing is like this, I got four good swords by chance, but I don't know the origin of these four swords. I asked many people but they couldn't explain clearly. So I thought, Huashan Sword Sect has been famous for thousands of years and has many talents.
, all of them have extraordinary vision, and they must be able to recognize the four swords, so they came to visit."
Mu Tianhe blinked, just because of this?!
The four elders who sat down, as well as Lu Jinlin, Deng Linghua and his wife, all looked at each other, speechless.
Good guy!
You ran to the Huashan Sword Sect and released huge pressure, scaring one person to death and alarming the entire sect.
In the end, just to find someone to identify the four swords?
Mu Tianhe looked at the young Wei An and couldn't laugh or cry for a moment. He cursed in his heart: "Where did this second generation ancestor come from? What's going on?"
But he smiled and said: "I see, please take out the four swords and let us review them together."
Wei An waved his hand, wow!
Four swords flashed out of thin air, suspended in mid-air, and caught everyone's eyes.
Mu Tianhe looked up and his pupils suddenly shrank slightly.
The expressions of the two elders who were sitting down also changed. Their bodies straightened, their necks stretched, and they almost couldn't help but stand up and get closer to take a closer look.
After a long while, Mu Tianhe raised his eyebrows and asked, "May I ask, Master Ji, where did you get these four swords?"
Wei An replied: "Not long ago, I met a group of thieves who were robbing my house, so I killed the thieves and saved a family. To express their gratitude, the other party gave me four swords handed down from my family. They said they were originally from this family.
It was a set of swords, several swords were lost, and only these four swords were left."
Mu Tianhe understood, looked at the other elders, made eye contact, and then slowly said: "If I read correctly, these four swords should be four of the 'Eight Swords of the King of Yue'
.”
Wei An was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but ask: "What are the Eight Swords of the King of Yue?"
"You don't even know this?"
Mu Tian was speechless for a while after being reconciled. Anyone who loves swords knows the famous Eight Swords of the King of Yue.
He explained: "In ancient times, there was a superpower in the Central Plains called the Yue Kingdom. The king of this country loved swords, so he collected countless rare treasures and forged a set of swords, with a total of eight handles, namely
Covering the sun, cutting off the water, turning the soul, hanging the needles, frightening the salamander, destroying the soul, eliminating evil, true strength."
As he spoke, Mu Tianhe came closer and stared at the four swords suspended in the air, "It is rumored that after the King of Yue forged these eight swords, strange phenomena occurred, causing the people's hearts to shake and all countries to be frightened.
Later, all the countries joined forces to attack it, and the Yue Kingdom was destroyed as a result.
From then on, the Eight Swords of the King of Yue were taken away by other countries and circulated among different owners. They came and went for countless years, but no one was able to collect all eight swords."
Wei An suddenly realized that these four swords had extraordinary origins. No wonder King Yaksha kept them and carried them with him.
Wei An sighed and said: "I see, I didn't expect that I picked up the treasure, but I don't know where the other four swords are?"
Mu Tianhe hesitated for a moment and said with a smile: "There are countless people who like to collect the Eight Swords of the King of Yue. The owners of these eight swords are also constantly changing. Without careful investigation, it is really difficult to say who the other four swords are.
whereabouts."
Wei An immediately said: "In that case, I wonder if I can enter your sect's library to check the relevant information?"
