Lin Yi, who was hiding among the flowers, felt even more excited when he heard these words. He was full of curiosity and yearning for the sword manuals left by Qin and Tang. His heart beat wildly like Qin Dingfang's. It seemed that Qin Jin also wanted to pass it on to him. He listened attentively.
Grandfather and grandson talk.
Qin Jin said to Qin Dingfang: "Your second grandfather likes plum blossoms. There are exactly one thousand plum trees in the plum forest in front of the house, so he named this sword technique 'Qianmei'! I wanted your father to inherit the 'Qianmei Sword Manual', but
Your father failed to live up to expectations, and now grandpa is counting on you!"
Qin Jin handed the iron box to Qin Dingfang along with unlimited expectations.
Qin Dingfang opened the iron box with great joy. Inside was a thick oilcloth bag. After unpacking the layers of oilcloth, a thin book finally appeared in front of his eyes. On the cover of the book were two words - Qianmei!
Qin Dingfang carefully opened it, and the first page read: Thirteen Styles of Thousand Plum Blossoms, ever-changing. The descendants of the Qin family must practice hard. On the day of great success, they will be proud of the world!
Qin Dingfang impatiently flipped through a few more pages.
The first form of Qianmei: The heart of the plum is broken. The second form: The plum and snow compete. The third form: Score twice...
Below each posture are detailed practice methods and sword fighting essentials. Qin Dingfang, in an excited mood, knelt down in front of Qin Jin.
"I will definitely live up to grandpa's expectations! Since grandpa passed on the 'Qianmei' to me, please grandpa pass on the 'Xue Xue Sword' that the second grandpa used back then to his grandson!"
As soon as the three words "Xiao Xue Jian" came out, Qin Jin's heart was shocked.
At that time, the second brother Qin Tang defeated many powerful masters with his "Snow Eliminating Sword" and "Qianmei Sword Technique", won the alliance leader, and was named the King of Martial Arts.
This snow-eliminating sword is extraordinary. It is not only a magical weapon that can melt snow, melt ice, and cut through iron like mud, but it is also a symbol of power.
At the beginning, the Qin and Tang Dynasties ordered the heroes of the Eighteenth Route to prepare to attack the Linghu clan. In order to unite the heroes from all walks of life and make them swear to follow and be loyal forever, the heads of the heroes of the Eighteenth Route engraved their names on the "Xuexiao Sword".
The sword was stained with blood and swore a poisonous oath to always be loyal to the "Xiao Xue Sword", including their descendants and grandchildren. Seeing the sword was like seeing King Wu of Qin! If the oath was broken, the whole family would die!
At that time, Qin Jin was still confused as to why his second brother asked heroes from all walks of life to swear by the sword. Later, Qin Tang told him the reason in private.
"I swear to the sword that if I see the sword, I will see me. Even if I die, with the 'Xue Xue Sword' here, I can still hold eighteen people hostage forever and be used by my Qin family forever."
Now the grandson actually asked him for the "Xue Sword".
At this moment, Lin Yi heard the "Xuexue Sword" and became excited. The master Wang Meng had told him how powerful and famous this sword was countless times. In Lin Yi's heart, this sword was simply a sacred object that was omnipotent.
Qin Jin said to Qin Dingfang: "Giving you the 'Xuexue Sword' now will be harmful rather than beneficial to you. After your second grandfather died, I don't know how many people wanted to take advantage of this sword. Now they don't know the whereabouts of the sword, and they don't dare to
Act rashly. If the 'Xue Sword' comes out, our Beifu will never have peace again!"
"When will you pass it on to me?"
"When you master Qianmei Sword Technique, you will be able to deal with those who have evil intentions."
"Then how many years will it take for me to practice Qianmei?"
"It depends on your qualifications. The fastest it can take is eight years."
Qin Dingfang was very disappointed. He knew that his grandfather would never give him the "Xuexue Sword" now.
"Then grandpa, can you tell me where the 'Xiao Xue Sword' is now?"
"Dingfang, you are still young. Now you should concentrate on practicing swordsmanship. Sooner or later, the 'Xuexue Sword' will be yours, and the Beifang will be yours sooner or later! The burden on your shoulders is extremely heavy!"
"Then let me ask Grandpa one last thing."
"What's up?"
"Is my second grandfather dead?!"
Qin Jin was shocked and asked his grandson why he would ask such a question. Qin Dingfang said that last month he accompanied his mother to his uncle's house, and on the way he overheard people talking about the possibility that Qin Tang, the martial king of the generation, might still be alive in the world.
Qin Jin said to his grandson: "I really hope your second grandfather is still alive, otherwise our Qin family would not have declined to this point. But he died long ago. From now on, you should concentrate on practicing the 'Thousand Plum Sword Manual' and stop listening to those rumors."
Rumor!"
Qin Jin asked his grandson not to criticize the matter in the future. Then he asked Qin Dingfang to leave first, and Qin Dingfang left first with a complicated mood.
After Qin Dingfang left, Qin Jin walked to the flowers where Lin Yi was hiding and said.
"Come out."
Lin Yi was very uneasy, and he didn't expect to be discovered by the uncle. Lin Yi came out and knelt down in front of Qin Jin.
"Excuse me, sir. I didn't mean to do it. I was chasing a nightingale and broke in unintentionally. All the sins are my fault. Please punish me alone and don't hurt my family."
After hearing these words, Qin Jin felt really bad. But he was relieved that this "grandson" dared to take responsibility and knew how to protect his family at such a young age. It was really commendable. This was better than Qin Dingfang.
Lin Jin asked Lin Yi to stand up, and he said gently: "Did you hear what Ding Fang and I just said?"
"I heard it."
"Then remember, you can't say these words to others."
"Don't worry, sir, I will never reveal anything."
Qin Jin nodded and looked at Lin Yi. He always felt that he owed this grandson too much. He touched Lin Yi's head for Jin, gave him ingots of silver, and asked him to go back to sleep. Now, Qin Jin can only use money to make up for the debt.
Lin Yi is in debt.
When he broke into the young master's training academy without permission, the uncle did not punish him and gave him money. This made Lin Yi really happy and touched. The always selfless uncle always took special care of him. He was even more benevolent to their family, so the young man
Lin Yi had long since sworn in his heart that he would be loyal to the Qin family forever and would not hesitate to go through fire and water for the Qin family.
…
Qin Dingfang, who had received the sword manual, worked harder and harder in order to master the "Qianmei" sword as soon as possible and inherit the "Xiaoxue Sword" to dominate the world. Sometimes he even forgot to eat and sleep.
Three years later, Qin Dingfang, now seventeen years old, has not only become more and more proficient in the "Great Confusion Magic", he has also mastered the "Thirteen Forms of Thousand Plums" to the fourth form. Now, no one in Beifu, including Qin Jin, is Qin Dingfang.
Compared with Qin Dingfang's opponent, Lin Yi's kung fu is far behind.
Qin Dingfang is rising like a radiant sun. This makes Qin Jin feel very happy. It also makes everyone in Beifu very excited. They all hope that Qin Dingfang can regain the glory of King Wu Qin and Tang Dynasty and create glory for Beifu again.
However, Qin Dingfang's virtue made Qin Jin disappointed and full of worries. He increasingly felt that his grandson was narrow-minded, arrogant and vicious.
Once, Qin and Jin arranged for a master from the north to compete with Qin Dingfang in martial arts, and Qin Dingfang actually beat the opponent to death.
Although Qin Dingfang knelt in front of him afterwards and admitted his mistake and explained that he had made a mistake, Qin Jin could see that his grandson was deliberately cruel.
In short, Qin Jin felt that Qin Dingfang lacked some of the good qualities possessed and inherited by the Qin family. Instead, his appearance and character took after his uncle's. He really raised a son like his uncle. On the other hand, Lin Yi, the "grandson" who could not recognize his ancestors, was better in character.
He was praised by everyone in the government. From then on, Qin Jin also paid more attention to Qin Dingfang's moral education.
There is another thing that has made Qin Jin worried and anxious during these years, and even made him wake up from nightmares several times, and that is the blood letter from the Linghu clan!
Fourteen years have passed since I received the first blood letter!
During this period, he received dozens of identical blood letters one after another! One every three months on average. Every word on the blood letters exuded the smell of blood and strong revenge. These letters reminded him of the Qin family and Linghu
The blood feud between his family is still unsolved, and it is also torturing his body and mind!
He burned these letters after reading them, hiding all his speculations and anxieties in his heart. If the letters were leaked, it would not only cause panic in the Beifu, but even cause an uproar in the world. The consequences would be unimaginable!
The letter said that the descendants of the Linghu family would definitely take revenge on the Beifu in ten years. In the past few years, Qin and Jin were even more worried and redeployed the defense of the mansion. The number of people watching at night also tripled. Some of the closed secret passages in the mansion were reopened.
.Be prepared to evacuate and hide in times of crisis.
But ten years have passed, twelve years have passed, and this year is the fourteenth year since I received the first letter! The descendants of the Linghu family have never taken action.
What are they waiting for?!
This puzzled Qin Jin.
Could it be that this bloody letter was not written by a descendant of the Linghu family, but that someone with ulterior motives used it to intimidate him?
Not long after, Qin Jin received another letter from Linghu's descendant. This time it happened to be sent by Lin Yi. Lin Yi reported to the uncle that the guard had received the letter and he happened to be passing by, so the guard asked him to bring it in.
Qin Jin did not ask Lin Yi to retreat, so he opened the letter.
This time Qin Jin was shocked after seeing it! His whole body felt as if he had been poured ice water to the bone and he was trembling! The letter also fell to the ground.
This made Lin Yi very surprised. Why did the usually calm man feel so out of sorts when he saw this letter?
Because the content of all blood letters over the years has been the same, but this time it is different.
The content of this letter is: The blood feud will not be forgotten for a moment. It is not that we will not avenge it, but the time has not come yet. The time has come. On the ninth day of August, Linghu’s descendants will bloodbath Beifu and sacrifice two thousand dead souls of our clan!
The ninth day of August!
The date they attacked the Linghu clan was the ninth day of August!
Today is July 25th, and there is still half a moon!
