Hu Xiaotian spent the whole morning in hard training, and it was useless to sharpen his spear before the battle. Tomorrow he would have a duel with Qiu Mubai, and he had to master all the nine swords of the Spirit Snake. However, the long swords Yang Xuan gave him were ordinary.
Weapons were inevitably bumped during the practice with Xiong Tianba's real swords and guns, and three of them were broken in just one morning.
At noon, even Huo Shengnan was attracted by them. He watched for a while and then pointed out some shortcomings in Hu Xiaotian's swordsmanship.
Hu Xiaotian threw the broken sword in his hand on the ground and said with a smile: "No more practice, no more practice! My stomach is growling with hunger."
Huo Shengnan said: "I heard that you will have a sword duel with Qiu Mubai tomorrow?"
Hu Xiaotian nodded and said, "Have you heard about it too?"
Huo Shengnan said: "Now the city is full of turmoil, and there are not many people in Yongdu City who don't know about it."
Hu Xiaotian frowned. He didn't tell the public, and Zhou Mo and the others didn't publicize it. It seemed that it must be Qiu Mubai's fault. This guy's intentions were really evil. Everyone knew that he publicized it before the duel even started.
If he shrinks from the battle, he will definitely become the laughing stock of the world. Does he, Qiu Mubai, think that he will win without a doubt?
…∵,w◇ww. Huo Shengnan said: "Looking at how hard you work on your sword practice, it seems that you have decided to go to Happy Forest for your appointment?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "In General Huo's opinion, how does my swordsmanship compare to Qiu Mubai's?"
Huo Shengnan said: "Although the swordsmanship is exquisite, it is a pity that the time you have practiced swordsmanship is too short. If I am not mistaken, this set of swordsmanship focuses on the combination of changes, and it is definitely not something that can be used skillfully in a short time. In terms of swordsmanship alone, you
It's very different from Qiu Mubai." Huo Shengnan had seen Qiu Mubai's swordsmanship before, so he was so sure.
Zhou Mo agreed very much with Huo Shengnan's words. If Hu Xiaotian was given a month to practice, he might be able to master this set of swordsmanship. However, with only one day left before the duel, no matter what kind of genius, it would be impossible for him to master this set of swordsmanship completely.
Mastery. Huo Shengnan is right. The focus of this set of swordsmanship is not the moves, but the change of combinations of swordsmanship. Hu Xiaotian's superhuman understanding can only master these nine swordsmanships in one day. As for the change of combinations,
It's not something he can do.
Hu Xiaotian said: "Doesn't that mean I will definitely lose?"
Huo Shengnan nodded. Reality is reality after all. Qiu Mubai has been practicing swordsmanship since he was a child and has worked hard on swordsmanship for more than 20 years. How can Hu Xiaotian, a temporary master of two swords, be able to compare? She said softly: "I
I still have some friendship with Qiu Xiangguang, the master of the Sword Palace. Why don't I go tell him and see if I can cancel this duel." In her opinion, Hu Xiaotian had no chance of winning, so she proposed such a solution.
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Thank you General Huo for your kindness, but since I have agreed to him, I have to go to the appointment. If I escape in the middle of the battle, wouldn't I become the laughing stock of the world?"
Huo Shengnan said: "It is never a wise thing to do something you know you can't do."
Hu Xiaotian said: "A man may do something or not do something, I have made up my mind."
Huo Shengnan secretly lamented that Hu Xiaotian was so stubborn at heart. She didn't know that Hu Xiaotian relied on his ability to defend himself, so he decided to fight Qiu Mubai. Although he was not absolutely sure of winning, Hu Xiaotian also firmly believed that he had
The ability to save one's life. In this age where heroes are respected, failure is not shameful. Only those who run away from battle will be looked down upon.
In the afternoon, Hu Xiaotian went to the iron factory alone. The purpose of this trip was to find Zong Tang. He asked Zong Tang for a good sword. Although the spirit snake sword technique is mysterious, it cannot be mastered in a short time. Hu Xiaotian basically
He has already given up on the idea of defeating Qiu Mubai with the help of the Spirit Snake Swordsmanship.
Since the last attack on the blacksmith shop and the bombing of the Longhu kiln, the magician Zongyuan was deeply hit. He also lost interest in work. After moving to the ironworks factory, he didn't even bother to ask about the affairs of the workshop.
When Hu Xiaotian arrived at the iron factory, the magician Zong Yuan was feeding the fish by the pond. His once gray hair was now completely white, which showed how hard the last attack had been on him. Seeing Hu Xiaotian coming, Zong Yuan greeted with a smile: "
Master Hu is here!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Hello, Mr. Zong, is Brother Zong here?"
Demon craftsman Zong Yuan glanced in the direction of the workshop and said, "He's busy inside, just go find him."
Hu Xiaotian felt that it was not convenient to disturb him, so he decided to wait outside for a while and came to Zong Yuan to watch the fish with him.
Zong Yuandao: "Is there something wrong with Mr. Hu coming here this time?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "It's not a big deal, I just want to ask Brother Zongtang for a sword."
Zong Yuan smiled and said: "It's a small thing. Let him take you to the library to pick it up later." Compared with what Hu Xiaotian did for them, a sword is indeed nothing.
Hu Xiaotian remembered something again, took out the black iron plate he carried with him, and handed it to the magician Zong Yuandao: "Mr. Zong, help me see, what is this iron plate made of?"
The magic craftsman Zong Yuan reached out to take it. As soon as the iron plate came into his hand, his white eyebrows wrinkled and he said in surprise: "Hey! It turns out to be black mother black iron. This kind of material is rare."
Hu Xiaotian knew what the specific name of this black iron was. He smiled and said: "It was passed down from my ancestors and I have always kept it with me as a talisman. In the past, I thought it was different from ordinary iron tools, but my knowledge was limited. I once asked
Several experts all said it was black iron, but no one knew exactly which type it was."
The magician Zong Yuan did not have any doubts about Hu Xiaotian's words. He turned the black iron tablet over and over in his hand, then flicked it with his fingers, listened carefully to his ear, and whispered
: "This sign has a mechanism and something inside."
Hu Xiaotian was surprised when he heard this. At first he just thought that the iron plate happened to be embedded in the hilt of the Black Iron Sword. However, after studying for a long time, he still couldn't figure out where the mechanism was. He remembered that the magician Zong Yuan was an expert in this field, so he asked for advice.
Said: "Old sir, let's see if you can open it?"
Zong Yuandao: "This mysterious iron plate is actually a set of locks. If you want to unlock it, you have to find the key. It seems that your ancestor was also an expert." He looked at it carefully several times before using his fingers to remove it.
A pattern on the Tuixuan iron plate.
Hu Xiaotian thought to himself that he had tried it before, and the black iron plate was basically one piece. Suddenly he heard a click, and Hu Xiaotian hurriedly moved over, only to see Zongyuan push away a pattern on the iron plate and shift it.
Hu Xiaotian never thought that the pattern on the iron plate could actually be moved. It took Zongyuan a long time to rearrange the patterns engraved on the iron plate. When he heard a click, the iron plate split into two halves.
A smile appeared on Zongyuan's face: "I just said it was empty inside." He separated the iron plate from top to bottom, and saw a piece of red silk in it. Zongyuan stuffed these things to Hu Xiaotian: "
There may be some secrets in the things passed down from your family." The old man was very conscientious and had no habit of spying on others. What really interested him was dismantling the mechanism, and he was not interested in what was involved in it.
Hu Xiaotian thanked him repeatedly. After taking out the piece of silk and putting it away, he saw that there was indeed nothing else inside the iron plate. He gave it to Zong Yuan and asked him to help reset the iron plate.
Zongyuan became interested and started studying again with two pieces of Xuantie tablets. Hu Xiaotian took advantage of this moment to quietly take out the piece of silk, unfolded it, and saw a picture embroidered with gold thread above.
Hu Xiaotian felt ecstatic in his heart. This Xuantie Tablet and the Xuantie Sword were both things from the East. Could it be that the Xuantie Tablet contained the sword manual for the Seven Heaven-Slaying Swords? If so, he
But he was already prosperous. He suppressed the excitement in his heart and put the silk away.
At this time Zongtang also came out of the workshop to take a rest. When he saw Hu Xiaotian coming, he laughed and greeted him: "Brother Hu is here!"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Hello, Brother Zong, I came today to ask for something."
The magic craftsman Zong Yuan was concentrating on playing with the black iron card and said without raising his head: "Zong Tang, go and help Mr. Hu pick out a long sword that fits the hand."
Zong Tang nodded and led Hu Xiaotian towards the direction of the warehouse. He also heard that Hu Xiaotian would have a sword duel with Qiu Mubai, the young master of the Sword Palace tomorrow. Hu Xiaotian's coming to ask for a sword must be related to tomorrow's duel.
On the way to the warehouse, Zongtang said: "I heard that Brother Hu will have a duel with Qiu Mubai at Happy Forest tomorrow. Is it true?"
Hu Xiaotian smiled and said: "Good things don't go out and bad things go thousands of miles. It seems that everyone knows this."
Zong Tang said: "Qiu Mubai is a leader among the younger generation in Jian Palace. Why should Brother Hu bother to compete with him for a moment?"
Hu Xiaotian said: "I didn't want to fight, but this Qiu Mubai is so aggressive."
Zong Tang said: "Qiu Mubai became famous at a young age. He is young and energetic, arrogant and has a very high vision, but he does have the capital to be arrogant."
Hu Xiaotian said: "Last night he proposed a duel to me, and today it has become a public rumor. He must have deliberately spread the news because he didn't want to give me a way out. If I don't accept the challenge, I will never be able to challenge him again."
The head is a human being.”
Zongtang understood that Hu Xiaotian had made up his mind, so he stopped trying to persuade him and took him to the warehouse. He pointed at the various swords inside and said, "You can choose any sword here."
Hu Xiaotian walked slowly into them and looked at them one by one. Most of them were forged by Zongtang himself. Although there were no peerless magic weapons in them, they were incomparable to the swords he had used before. He actually had two good weapons in his hands.
, It’s a pity that the Black Iron Sword is Lin Baitao’s relic and cannot be exposed easily. If the heirs of the Sword Palace see it, I don’t know what kind of uproar it will cause. As for the Black Gold Sword, Hu Xiaotian wants to use the sword instead of giving it up.
Come and defeat Qiu Mubai. You are known as the best figure of the younger generation in the Sword Palace. If I don’t make a move, I will make you look good. I have to defeat you with a sword. Only then will such a hearty victory come. (Pie in the sky.)
