In the backyard of Baobingfang, under a century-old tree, a swordsman named Wen Liang drew his sword. The cold light was like water, pointing directly at Lin Xiao. His narrow eyes became sharper, as if he wanted to pierce Lin Xiao.
Young Master Wen Jingxu played with the suet jade ball in his hand, his eyes slightly narrowed on his handsome and fair face, Manager Li's mouth curled up slightly in a playful smile, Zhou Zheng subconsciously clenched his fists.
"Draw the sword!" Wen Liang's voice became colder and harsher. Lin Xiao had already shaken off the dead leaves on the sword and sheathed it.
"My sword will be unsheathed when it is unsheathed." Lin Xiao said unhurriedly, with a distant and leisurely tone.
Wen Liang snorted angrily, and rushed forward, stabbing him with a sword across the sky. It was like the autumn water flowing across the sky, and there were birds chirping happily. There was a bit of lightness and agility in the coldness, and there was already a hint of self-image, which showed that
His swordsmanship foundation is profound and superb.
The tip of the sword trembled slightly and it instantly crossed ten meters to reach Lin Xiao. It was cold and dazzling.
This sword was originally aimed at Lin Xiao's face, but it changed its stance midway and stabbed at Lin Xiao's arm.
Lin Xiao smiled slightly, showing no signs of gesture. The White Bird Sword suddenly came out of its sheath, and there was a faint sound of thunder, surging like a torrent in the backyard.
The sword light was like cold lightning striking directly. The two swords collided in an instant, and there was a harsh sound, like a silver bottle bursting. Wen Liang's sword was suddenly shattered, and Lin Xiao's sword accelerated and drove straight in.
A sword was directly pressed against Wen Liang's throat, and an extremely cold chill filled his entire neck and penetrated to his forehead.
Wen Liang's sword moved to one side, but when he adjusted it again, it was too late. It was still an inch away from Lin Xiao's arm, and that inch was like the end of the world.
Wen Liang was stunned, his narrow eyes were dull. The young master Wen Jingxu was also completely stunned, his handsome face turned livid.
How can it be?
How can this be!
Wen Jingxu knew very well what Wen Liang's swordsmanship was. There might be a slight gap compared with his own, but it was definitely not obvious. If he wanted to defeat Wen Liang with his swordsmanship, it would be very difficult to do so without using ten moves.
Real swordsmen fight and kill each other in close combat. There are not so many fancy operations. The sword is a killing weapon, and swordsmanship is the art of killing enemies. Different swordsmanship has its own secrets, but it is definitely not a flashy one.
Skills, the more advanced the swordsmanship, the more so. Those swordsmanship that may look very gorgeous must have its purpose.
Even for swordsmen with similar strength, a close fight may require a few more moves, but when it comes to life and death, it will definitely be very fast. Of course, this speed has nothing to do with the moves. The more powerful the person, the more swords he can draw in an instant.
Too many, but unfortunately ten swords or even dozens of swords in one breath. Of course, it could also be just one sword.
One sword determines victory or defeat.
One sword is the difference between life and death.
One sword decides the world.
But no matter what, Wen Liang was defeated too quickly. It was just one sword, and he was defeated directly with just one sword. If it were life and death, then Wen Liang's throat had been pierced, and he could not die anymore.
cold!
Wen Liang's whole body felt cold, chilly, and stiff. He stared at Lin Xiao with a dull expression on his face, and his thinking was frozen.
Manager Li was also full of surprise and shock, but he restrained himself very well. He stared at the White Bird Sword in Lin Xiao's hand carefully, and there seemed to be wisps of brilliance flickering in his eyes.
"You win, brother, you win." Zhou Zheng shouted excitedly.
"Guanshi Li, how much is the Xingliu Sword worth?" Lin Xiao asked with a smile.
"Ten thousand taels." Manager Li's answer made Lin Xiao's eyes suddenly widen and light up.
Ten thousand taels!
"Although the imitation legendary weapons are also refined, they are the top refined grade and cannot be compared with ordinary refined grades. Of course, this alone is not enough to sell thousands of taels. The second reason is the reputation of imitated legendary weapons." Manager Li laughed.
He explained.
Lin Xiao thought his White Bird Sword was worth a thousand taels, but he didn't expect it to be worth ten thousand taels. This meant that he usually carried things worth ten thousand taels everywhere. This was the case when he didn't have much money.
What a surprise.
Refined-level weapons are worth at least one thousand taels, which does not mean it must be one thousand taels. It may be two thousand taels, or it may be three thousand taels. Everything depends on the value of the weapon itself, and its value is composed of several aspects.
, material, craftsmanship, forger, reputation, etc.
Imitation of ancient weapons is difficult to obtain and can only be found in a few places. One is because the casting process is difficult, the other is because the materials are hard to find, and the third is intentional. If too many are cast, wouldn't they become cabbage on the streets?
Still, what's the point of talking about value?
All in all, in a word, Lin Xiao won, the number of defeated enemies increased by one, accumulating to 287, his record also increased a little, and he is expected to get ten thousand taels of silver.
"I will pay you 20,000 taels of silver to buy the Xingliu Sword from you." Young Master Wen Jingxu stared at Lin Xiao and said in a solemn tone: "My eldest sister has returned from Yijian Sect to learn swordsmanship, and I want to give her the Xingliu Sword.
I wish her success in learning the sword, and I hope you can do the same."
"I am a descendant of the Ancient Two Swords, and this sword suits me." Lin Xiao responded without hesitation, and his serious look made it difficult to doubt his words.
Ancient double sword style?
Never heard of it.
"There have been many sword training schools in this world for thousands of years, but I have never heard of the ancient double sword style." Wen Jingxu said coldly, becoming impatient.
"Because I will be the founder of the ancient double sword style." Lin Xiao responded with a serious face. Wen Jingxu was slightly startled at first, and then the veins on his forehead bulged.
Co-authored, this is teasing me.
To say that Lin Xiao was teasing the other party on purpose was not entirely true. It was just a habit of trying to tease him. In the final analysis, the other party's words sounded modest, but he revealed his family background at the beginning, which seemed to be a way of suppressing others with his family background.
Furthermore, even if the other party is very humble and says that he urgently needs the Xingliu Sword, does Lin Xiao have to give it to him?
If you don’t let me, will you feel guilty? Do you feel embarrassed?
Bullshit, it’s all bullshit. Maybe there are people like this in the world, and there are even quite a few of them. Things are theirs, but they don’t give it to the other person but feel embarrassed because of the other person’s words and gestures. They have to apologize to the other person, or even
In the end, the so-called "discovery of conscience" involves selling your own things cheaply and giving them away, in order to get a thank you from the other party.
This is like borrowing money. When borrowing money, the other person talks nicely and talks about how he is in trouble and needs money urgently. He is like a grandson. After borrowing the money, the person with good character will pay it back, and the person with good character will pay it back.
Will pay it back as soon as possible, but someone with a bad character will not pay it back, like an uncle.
But, this has nothing to do with Lin Xiao.
If you want to use force to overwhelm others, fine, as long as you show overwhelming strength on the spot, I, Lin Wuming, will still follow my heart, but I will definitely remember it and keep it in my bones.
But now, you just bring up a family background and want me to follow your heart. You think too much. Even if I don't need the Xingliu Sword, I can't give it to you.
Unless, you now bring out the powerful force that can overwhelm yourself.
"Give me money." Lin Xiao looked cold and solemn.
Wen Jingxu's face was ashen, and Wen Liang once again grasped the hilt of the sword, ready to move. In the previous confrontation, he did not use his martial arts skills. He lost. It is true that his swordsmanship is not as good as his opponent's, but it does not mean that his strength is inferior.
"A young master from a dignified county will definitely not default on his debts," Lin Xiao added.
"No, Mr. Wen is the third young master of the Wen family in the county. If he defaults on his debt today, the news will spread throughout the county tomorrow, and he will lose all his face." Manager Li suddenly laughed.
Wen Jingxu looked at Manager Li silently, the cold light in his eyes seemed to be burning, and a lazy smile appeared on Manager Li's face. He looked careless, as if he did not take Wen Jingxu's silent threat to heart.
"Let's go." Wen Jingxu roared and strode out of the yard. When he was about to walk out, he reached into his arms and flicked it behind him, and the banknotes flew in the air one by one and fell to the ground like dead leaves.
.
"Azheng, I've picked up the money." Lin Xiao greeted him as if he was using his hands and feet, and picked up the banknotes one by one with a smile on his face.
Each one is worth one thousand, which is the largest denomination of banknotes in the Dayun Dynasty. There are dozens of them in total.
Manager Li stood aside and watched, raising his eyebrows in surprise. The other party threw the banknote on the ground. In addition to being angry, there was also a hint of humiliation in it. It depends on whether you are willing to bend down to pick up the money.
.
Those who practice swordsmanship attach great importance to integrity and character, and some even emphasize that swordsmen should be willing to bend rather than surrender.
But this young man, with such superb swordsmanship, should theoretically have integrity and character. Unexpectedly, he bent down to pick up money like a common citizen, and he was so happy. He did not have the demeanor of a swordsman master at all.
However, when the young man straightened up, the feeling of being like a common man was completely gone. Instead, he was as straight as a sword, as if it were an illusion.
Manager Li didn't understand and found it hard to understand.
On that day, when Gu Yanzhen accepted his disciples, he asked three questions about swordsmanship, and the last question was to ask about the heart.
Ask the heart and point directly to the nature of the mind.
Lin Xiao would not be unwilling to pick up the banknotes just because they were thrown on the ground, because in Lin Xiao's heart, he already thought that those banknotes belonged to him. How could he pick up his own things?
Is it related to integrity or character?
Absolutely not.
Well, actually Lin Xiao didn't think about it that much, it was just a habit.
Zhou Zheng was also overjoyed and excited about the 10,000 taels of silver.
"Azheng, that Mr. Wen is a good man. I want to thank his whole family." Lin Xiao sighed, and Manager Li suddenly looked strange because he thought this sentence sounded strange.
"Brother, I remember it. Next time we meet, I must thank his whole family." Zhou Zheng said excitedly and forcefully.
"Then you have to practice your martial arts well. When you want to thank me, you'd better call Brother Ax up." Lin Xiao smiled and immediately looked at Manager Li: "Manager Li, please lead the way."
"Please." Manager Li immediately responded seriously. The maid on the side was secretly excited. Unexpectedly, she did not expect to see such a scene, nor did she expect that the young man he brought with him had such amazing swordsmanship.
, and also buy the Xingliu Sword.
made money!
I have made a lot of money this time, but unfortunately, if I were a few years younger, I might be able to catch up with him.
