Chapter 154 Asking for a Sword

"Brothers, please come this way."

Ren Jiannan greeted Fu Jianhan and Yang Yun warmly.

Fu Jianhan and Yang Yun looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Ren Jiannan, who usually doesn't seem to be very good at swordsmanship, just showed off his might in the sword formation.

Fu Jianhan finally understood why there were so many flaws in Ren Jiannan's sword moves. Because what he practiced was not a set of sword techniques at all, but a sword formation.

Looking at it alone, Ren Jiannan's swordsmanship is full of flaws, but when it comes to the sword formation, Ren Jiannan is the center of the formation. There are people on both sides of him, so there are no flaws at all.

In the sword formation, Ren Jiannan can bring his sword skills to the extreme.

Although Fu Jianhan and Yang Yun are both outstanding swordsmen among the younger generation, they can only protect themselves in the sword formation.

Fortunately, this [welcome] gift is not really about fighting for victory. After a hundred moves, just when the two of them felt that they were about to be unable to withstand it, all seven people in the sword formation suddenly stopped their moves at the same time and took a step back.

"I accept it." The seven men held their swords in salute.

Fu Jianhan now understands that this [Welcoming Guest] is not only used to screen sword seekers, but also to give them a warning.

Zhujian Villa treats people with courtesy, everyone should save face for each other, don't be disrespectful.

For example, some people are dissatisfied after requesting a sword, or they want a few more, or even decide on it.

Then the only option is to invite the sword formation [Zhuguo].

When they returned home, they naturally wanted to entertain them first, but Ren Jiannan also understood the mood of his two friends, so he took them to ask for the sword first.

Arriving in the backyard, Ren Jiannan made a move, and a sword slave came over. He bent down and opened a lid made of mixed iron, revealing an tunnel entrance.

"Two brothers, although my villa forges swords, I am not the sword master." Ren Jiannan said to Fu Jianhan and the others: "The so-called [begging for swords] is not begging for us, but really begging for those swords.

Choose the sword, and the sword chooses the person.

You can only "ask for a sword" once in this life, and it won't work if you try again.

[Seeking Sword] No matter what the outcome is, it is all God’s will and has nothing to do with my villa.”

"Oh? Is there such a strange thing?" Yang Yun asked curiously.

Although they also like wine, Yang Yun and Fu Jianhan have completely opposite attitudes towards wine.

Fu Jianhan has wine and needs to drink it. He will not return until he is drunk.

What Yang Yun likes more is to have a drink and enjoy yourself without getting drunk.

Unexpectedly, these two people with completely different styles quickly became the best friends.

"[Sword Seeking] Only one person can go at a time. Which of the two brothers will go first?" Ren Jiannan said to the two of them.

Fu Jianhan looked at the dark tunnel. Just when he was about to take the plunge, Yang Yun stopped him.

Yang Yun, who thought he was more calm, said to Fu Jianhan: "Don't be impatient for now, I'll go and find out."

After saying that, Yang Yun took off his sword and handed it to Ren Jiannan. After receiving the torch handed over by the sword slave, he slowly walked down the stone steps.

After a while, Yang Yun's figure was no longer visible, and only the sound of footsteps could be heard.

After a while, the footsteps could no longer be heard.

The cave here is probably extremely deep.

"Brother Fu, come on, let's rest here first. [Seeking Sword] won't be finished in an hour or three. Let's have some tea." Ren Jiannan greeted Fu Jianhan enthusiastically.



Fu Jianhan and Ren Jiannan waited for two full hours, when they finally heard a sword slave come to report that Mr. Yang was out.

Fu Jianhan quickly followed Ren Jiannan to check.

After following Ren Jiannan for a while, Fu Jianhan discovered that they were not walking towards the backyard, but another way. Fu Jianhan suppressed the doubts in his heart and just followed Ren Jiannan.

After a while, Ren Jiannan led Fu Jianhan to a bedroom, where they saw Yang Yun sleeping soundly on the bed, with a black sword beside him.

"Okay!" Ren Jiannan took a look and nodded. He turned to Fu Jianhan and said, "This sword was made by my father from black iron to imitate the sword of the Condor Hero. There is a saying that 'a heavy sword has no edge, and it is ingenious.

work'.

This sword is a perfect match for Brother Yang's temperament.

However, due to insufficient black iron when forging the sword, the sword only weighs 8,864 kilograms, which is far inferior to the 99,81 kilograms of the black iron epee (the old version of the black iron sword in the Legend of Condor Heroes is 60 kilograms).

Four kilograms, the new version has become eighty-one kilograms. After all, Yang Daxia has been single for forty years, and his arm strength has increased)."

Fu Jianhan also had a happy face, and he said to Ren Jiannan: "Ha, indeed this [asking for a sword] is wonderful. It's my turn."

Ren Jiannan led Fu Jianhan to the entrance of the tunnel. After handing Fu Jianhan a torch, he said to Fu Jianhan: "Brother Fu, if you are asking for a sword like this, just remember one sentence.

‘Take the sword as you please’.”

Fu Jianhan nodded gratefully to Ren Jiannan, then he took a deep breath, holding the torch and heading down the deep tunnel step by step.



Just when his son was helping someone [begging for a sword], Director Zhuang Haoran of Zhujian Villa was also [begging for a sword].

However, Ren Haoran's [asking for a sword] is more difficult, because he is asking God for a sword.

"There has been a severe drought since last year, and it has been dry this year. There has been no rain since the beginning of the new year. How can the people really live?" An old man said to Ren Haoran, "But this is also the first time in a hundred years that there has been a drought.

A chance to take the sword."

Ren Haoran looked at the rolling water of the Yangtze River and said slowly: "One thought will make you a Buddha, and one thought will turn you into a devil. If you block the devil, you will kill the devil, and if you block the Buddha, you will kill the Buddha."

After finishing speaking, Ren Haoran also let out a long sigh and said: "The appearance of the [Demon Sword and Buddha Sword] is probably a sign that the world will once again experience a hundred years of chaos."

"Master Ren, we and other common people can only rely on you to survive." The old man said to Ren Haoran, "This trip is extremely dangerous, and I am afraid that I will never come back.

Being able to be buried in the [Sword Tomb] means that the old man will die with no regrets. He is just my grandson."

"I will teach him martial arts, raise him until he is an adult, and then find him a wife." Ren Haoran said calmly.

Upon hearing Ren Haoran's words, the old man's face wrinkled up with laughter.

"Okay, great, then I'm relieved." The old man looked happy, and he no longer cared about his own life and death.

"When can we go into the water?" Ren Haoran asked the old man.

"The water is still too deep. It needs to be lower and clearer." The old man said to Ren Haoran, "A few decades ago when I was a child, there was also a severe drought and the water level was extremely low. I accidentally fell into the water when I entered it.

After touching the entrance of [Sword Tomb].

I tested it and found that [Sword Tomb] is very deep and the trend is all the way up. However, [Sword Tomb] is submerged underwater. Even if there is air in the room, it is a century-old turbid air. One breath will kill you, so I didn’t

Dare to go in."

The old man changed his words and said to Ren Haoran: "But don't worry, Mr. Ren, I entered the cave this time because I didn't think about coming out alive.

When the time comes, you can use the rope to pull out the [sword]."

Ren Haoran nodded, he turned his head and looked at the river, a river of green water flowing eastward.

Ren Haoran couldn't help but think of a poem written by a Shu native:

"The great river goes eastward, the waves are swept away, and the romantic figures of the ages appear."

The current situation is changing, and big waves are rolling in. How can I, like myself, be preserved in the big waves?

well.

Ren Haoran couldn't help but let out a long sigh.



After resting for two days in Chengdu, on the third day, Xia Houfei had already prepared his carriage and horses and took Huang Xiaoshi to the Sword Cave.

"There is another troublesome thing about going to [Sword Cave] this time." Xia Houfei said to Huang Xiaoshi and Jingjie, "This [Sword Cave] is actually jointly guarded by our Juedao Sect and Tianjian Sect. Every year

Only at an agreed time can you enter the cave to understand, and you are not allowed to enter at other times.

Well, especially no sect is allowed to enter alone."

"Ha." Jingjia laughed angrily, and said to Xia Houfei: "I have seen shameless people, but I have never seen you so shameless."

Xia Houfei was scolded by Jingji for no reason, and he didn't even come back to his senses.

Jingjie said to Xia Houfei: "This cave was dug by the two factions of you? Are the sword marks in the cave left by your ancestors?

You are nothing, you just discovered this cave first and took it for yourself.

He kept it as his own and refused to reveal it to others.

Isn’t that shameless?”

Xia Houfei's face turned red after being scolded by Jingjie. Hearing what Jingjie said, it was true that he was a bit shameless.

"That's not it. Isn't this being released for everyone to see?" Xia Houfei found a step for himself, and Ji Ji stopped chasing after him.



Leshan is located in the south of Chengdu, where the Dadu River, Minjiang River, Qingyi River and other three rivers meet.

Therefore, Leshan has been a place of rapid water flow and chaos since ancient times. Ships often get destroyed and people are killed when sailing here.

A Haitong monk passing by thought that there was a water demon causing trouble here. In order to subdue the demon and suppress it, he spent his whole life and gathered manpower and material resources to build a huge Buddha statue.

After the efforts of three generations of craftsmen, it took 90 years to finally build the [Lingyun Temple Big Maitreya Stone Statue], also known as the "Leshan Giant Buddha".

Xia Houfei said that the [Sword Cave] is not far from the Giant Buddha, and that it is not a natural cave, but an artificial cave. The specific purpose of the cave is unknown.

The cave is not deep and does not require additional lighting. In order to protect the cave, Juedaomen and Tianjianmen made a door outside the cave. It is closed on weekdays and will only be opened on [Visualization Day].

After arriving in Leshan, Xia Houfei first took Jingjie and Huang Xiaoshi to see the Giant Buddha. Initially, Jingjie and Huang Xiaoshi were not interested, but Xia Houfei kept emphasizing that this Buddha is really big. They all came to Leshan. It would be a pity not to see it.

Already.

The three of them arrived at the big Buddha. Wow, it was really a big Buddha.

The thorns were a little shocking. I heard that such a big Buddha was carved out of the cliff. How many years did it take to carve it out?

Huang Xiaoshi had already seen it, and the Buddha had not been renovated yet. It was dirty and unattractive.

After Huang Xiaoshi looked around for a while, he found a group of people doing something near the Buddha's feet.

"Hey, look what these people are doing. Why are some people running to the feet of the Giant Buddha to worship the river god?" Huang Xiaoshi said, pointing to a group of people below.

In order not to look at the bastards if there was a lot of fun, the three of them walked down the steep plank road to the Buddha's feet.

The place was already surrounded by three floors inside and three outside. After the three people squeezed in, they asked again and found out that the old man in the middle, who was only wearing shorts and was burning paper and drinking, would jump into the water and drill a hole in a while.

The hole, I heard is to fish for something [Magic Sword and Buddha Sword].

As soon as they heard about such a strange thing, the three of them stopped leaving and wanted to see what they could fish out.

After burning enough paper money for himself, the old man raised his head and drank all the wine in the bowl. He hugged a little boy and said a few words, and then tied a long rope around his waist.

The old man walked to the water's edge. He first looked at the river water which was three to four feet high from his feet, and then pulled the rope around his waist to make sure that the rope was long enough. Then, the old man jumped into the water from a high platform and dived amidst the exclamations of everyone.

Plunged into the river.

After the old man plunged into the river, everyone only saw the rope being pulled down. After a while, the rope stopped moving, and everyone felt excited.

One breath, two breaths, three breaths...

Everyone waited with bated breath for a long time, but there was no movement at all. Some people's hearts gradually rose to their throats, and some people's hearts gradually sank.

After waiting for half a stick of incense, the old man didn't show up again and the rope didn't move. Everyone thought that something was most likely going to happen when the rope suddenly moved.

The rope moved and was pulled three times.

"Quick! Pick up the rope!" An old man in black with a curly beard shouted loudly.

Several strong men worked together to quickly pull back the rope. A row of people stood at the water's edge, everyone bent over and stared down at the water.

After a while, the rope brought something up, a wooden box.

"Grandpa!" I heard a child crying loudly, someone nearby lit the firecrackers that had been prepared, and a stack of paper money was thrown into the sky and scattered in the wind.

"Get out of the way, get out of the way!"

A few big men pushed the onlookers away. When the box was lifted to the platform in front of the Buddha's feet by a rope, everyone stretched their necks to see what the treasure that the old man had exchanged for his life was.

The wooden box was nailed so tightly that a strong man took a screwdriver to pry it open. When the wooden lid was opened, the box contained two strange-looking weapons.

The old man in black looked at the pair of swords and murmured half excitedly, half worriedly: "[Demon Sword and Buddha Sword], it really is [Demon Sword and Buddha Sword].

The book left by our ancestors is all true, all true..."

In the year when the [Magic Sword and Buddha Sword] was stored, there was a severe drought in the Central Plains, followed by several years of famine.

Our ancestors once left a message that when the [Demon Sword and Buddha Sword] reappears, it will be a time of great disaster for the world.

However, there are still some differences between now and before.

To deposit the [Magic Sword and Buddha Sword], the river needs to be almost dry so that people can enter the sword tomb.

Now, even though the sword is taken out by Heaven, the water level is still above the entrance of the sword tomb. It took a person to die to take out the sword.

Ren Haoran couldn't imagine how much the river would be reduced if the entrance to the Sword Tomb could be exposed, and how drastic the drought would be in various parts of the Central Plains.



The reason why Ren Haoran knew that there was a [Magic Sword and Buddha Sword] hidden under the feet of the Leshan Giant Buddha was because his ancestors, through oral narration in their later years, had someone compile a [Travel World Records] for posterity.

This ancestor was the hero Linghu who traveled around the world with Xiao Xiami and sank the [Magic Sword] at the foot of the Leshan Giant Buddha with his own hands to suppress his anger.

The Ren family is the descendant of Linghu Daxia's wife and leader Ren.

Compared with previous heads of the family, Ren Haoran did not have many other pursuits besides his love for blacksmithing, so he was not strict with his son. Ren Jiannan liked music even more than blacksmithing.

Ren Haoran naturally knows very well in his heart that there is a limit to the kindness of his ancestors. It is inevitable that each generation of the Ren family will be inferior to the last.

The ancestor Linghu Daxia left these few words in the "Travel World Records" at the end: "If your descendants are unworthy (have no future), it is best to be lost among others.

If it is not possible to save one's life in troubled times, then take out the [Demon Sword and Buddha Sword] and find a capable backer to surrender."

At this moment, the Ren family needs the [Demon Sword and Buddha Sword] to have a backer to save their lives.

Recently, everyone in the world has sensed that there is bound to be a conflict between the Tianlong Sect and the Zhongyuan Righteous Way. The two sides are in conflict, and many people are already thinking about which side to join.

Although it sounds unpleasant, many people secretly defected to the Tianlong Sect.

Ren Haoran naturally had some concerns in his heart, and he refused to vote for either.

The Ren family chose to seek refuge with King Cheng.



At this moment, a young man squeezed out of the crowd and walked up to Ren Haoran. He looked at the [Devil Buddha Sword] in Ren Haoran's hand, touched his chin with his hand and said, "The two swords in your hand seem very special.

It’s interesting, can you show it to me?”
