sword sentient beings

Chapter 22 The sword is like frost and snow is like a rainbow

Something is wrong!
Tang Zhao stepped into the back room with a step, and felt a chill in his heart.

What came to the face was a strong fragrance.It was the smell of sandalwood, rich and pungent.Tang Zhao was so stimulated that he almost choked, and hurriedly covered his mouth and nose.

Even though the sandalwood is so strong, Tang Zhao can faintly smell another smell under the cover of the fragrance——

The smell of blood!
Tang Zhao's hair stood on end, and he looked around in panic.In the inner room is a warm pavilion that is fairly open, with a kang to the south, and Mr. Xing sits cross-legged on the kang.A burner of incense was burning in front of him, and the smoke filled the air. Through the smoke, his face was blurred in the haze.

There was no one else in the room except Lord Xing, and he was even more nervous, following the masked bloody smell, he naturally looked towards the ground.

The ground is clean, without a trace of strange color.

But Tang Zhao always felt something strange, it seemed...too clean?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt chills in his heart, Tang Zhao raised his head again to look at Master Xing.Through the smoke, one can vaguely see the adult with his head slightly lowered, as if depressed.

He felt more and more wrong, rushed to the opposite of Master Xing, and asked with a low voice: "My lord, you won't... eat Wei Changle, right?"

Mr. Xing suddenly raised his head. At this moment, he seemed to want to laugh, but then he regained his solemnity, and suddenly said: "Have you ever killed anyone?"

Tang Zhao was stunned, and said, "Kill...Kill? What kill?"

Mr. Xing stared into his eyes with piercing eyes, and said with a half-smile: "Killer, Kah—"

He split his palm down, "That's it."

Tang Zhao became more and more confused, and said, "Of course not. Why do you want to kill people?"

Mr. Xing nodded and said: "Seeing that your small body can't hold a knife for murder, will you use poison?"

Tang Zhao was full of eccentricity, and said, "Use poison? Poison? Arsenic or something?"

Mr. Xing shook his head and said, "Arsenic? That's not enough."

Tang Zhao didn't speak, he felt that the person in front of him was really weird, he couldn't help but think wildly, thinking: what's the use of arsenic?Potassium cyanide?Tetrodotoxin?

Mr. Xing looked at him for a while, then lowered his head again, and said casually: "Looking at your stupid appearance, you really don't seem to be someone who can poison. Poisoning is a profound knowledge. People who use poison are even more alert. Come back, the most important gist of Gein's use of poison is the four words 'unstoppable'."

Of course Tang Zhao knew that what he said was reasonable, but why did he say it so politely?Isn't the way Mr. Xun is thinking is too strange?
Mr. Xing said slowly: "The so-called invincibility is to find places that people can't think of. For example, there are two things in front of you, one is fresh fruit, and the other is cooked snacks. Where should the poison be? Most people must think that the snacks are people. It’s made, the fruit is picked from the tree, and the snacks are more likely to be poisoned. But, people who can poison will do the opposite, and in the fruit..."

The more Tang Zhao heard it, the more wrong it became. After thinking about it carefully, his face turned green, and he almost threw the peach pit out with a trembling hand.

Master Xing said with a smile: "So we must be very careful in every move we do in this poisonous spider villa. For example, I have carefully checked the fruits on my table, and they are definitely not poisoned..."

Tang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel that his neck was sweating profusely, and he broke into a cold sweat from fright.

Immediately afterwards, as soon as he thought about it, he became angry for a while——

What does this guy mean by such a long speech?He broke into the door and kicked in the sky and kicked in the ground, talking about it, making people confused. Could it be to play with himself?
This person is too bad, too boring, right? !
Hearing Master Xing laugh out loud, he was obviously happy, and said, "How is it? Are you in a much happier mood?"

Only then did Tang Zhao affirm that he was really playing tricks on himself, and said angrily, "I have always been in a good mood. I think you are not in a good mood, sir? Is it because Changle just failed the test, and you are like this? Your excellency is a nobleman of the court, so you won't be in a bad mood because of this." Let's embarrass the children?" At the end, he was a little helpless, after all, he thought that his life was in the hands of the other party.

Mr. Xing didn't take it seriously, and said: "This town won't blame him, if you want to blame, you should blame this world——

This dog `days of the world! "

He cursed lightly and angrily.

"I told him to go back first."

Tang Zhao breathed a sigh of relief again, and said, "He really failed? If the student passes by luck, can he be let go?"

Mr. Xing said: "It doesn't matter whether you let it go or not. He said he has nowhere to go, and he has to wait until you have the result before making any plans. Anyway, the food and clothing here are managed by Spider Villa, and he doesn't eat my rice, so let him go. "

Thinking about it, Tang Zhao said, "My lord, please come up with a question."

Mr. Xing leaned back, his head was leaning on the cushion, his posture was very comfortable, and he said, "Did you see the box behind you?"

Tang Zhao turned his head and saw a four-foot-long box on the table, and heard Master Xing say, "Open it, and bring the contents inside."

As soon as the box was opened, there was a sword in the box.

The sword is four feet long, the scabbard is black, and there are silver patterns chiseled on it.The pattern looks like a unicorn beast, and the fine lines almost flow like mercury.The eyes of the divine beast are bright, and the expression is majestic, looking at it in awe.

Tang Zhao was so respectful that he didn't dare to reach out to touch it, and said, "Do you want me...to take this sword?"

"bring here."

He stretched out his hand cautiously and grasped the hilt of the sword.Feeling slightly heavy in his hands, he pinched the scabbard with his right hand and looked back at Mr. Xing again.

Unexpectedly, Mr. Xing was also staring at him, his eyes were dignified and anxious.

Tang Zhao was a little nervous at first, but he became even more nervous when he saw him, so he sent his finger away.

Mr. Xing spoke, his voice was so hoarse that it was almost silent, only the shape of his mouth remained——

"Draw the sword!"

With a flick of the finger, the sword came out of its sheath——

"Good sword!"

If Tang Zhao has been reading and writing, he has only played with pen and paper, and has never played with swords. He should not be able to distinguish between good and bad, but everyone can appreciate the charm of a good sword.

The sword body is white, as bright as frost and snow.The hilt is plain and unadorned, black and dense.

The blade and hilt are black and white, like Yin and Yang.

At the same time, Tang Zhao was shocked——

This is……

strength!

Power from nowhere gushes out in Tang Zhao's body.

First like the eye of a spring, then like a mountain torrent, and finally like the Milky Way falling into the nine heavens!
The torrential power filled every inch of Tang Zhao inside and outside, like mercury pouring down the ground, penetrating into every hole, penetrating into the bone marrow, penetrating into the spirit, from head to toe, from the inside to the outside, all radiate endless energy, as if reborn and reborn as a human being!

This power is so powerful, but it didn't hurt Tang Zhao at all. He didn't feel any discomfort in his body, and at most he was a little psychologically unbalanced, because his thinking couldn't adapt to the power he had mastered.

For a moment, he tightly grasped the sword in his hand, feeling that he was invincible, the table and chair in front of him...even that person, could be cut off with just one sword strike!

calm……

He took a deep breath desperately, suppressed the squirming in his heart, and let himself struggle from the wanton destructive desire. It was very strenuous, and he also spent all his energy to control himself.

It was so easy, his body and mind lightened up, and he was back to normal, but the torrential power was still in his body, and he felt very happy.

"Did you just want to kill me?"

Master Xing said suddenly.

"Well," Tang Zhao didn't deny it, one is that he always likes to tell the truth, and the other is that he seems to speak more bluntly when he has power, "It's not just you, I almost swept away thousands of troops just now This sword is so strange... what's wrong with me?"

Mr. Xing's smile was unprecedentedly bright, as if he had lifted a heavy shackle all of a sudden, and he was more relaxed from the inside out: "This sword will not urge people to kill and destroy. It is just your instinct to swing the sword. You have a sharp weapon in your body. , Killing oneself, that is also common."

Tang Zhaodao: "So my instinct is like this?"

Mr. Xing lazily said: "It's good that you can restrain yourself. Even if you really killed me just now, I will forgive you."

Tang Zhaodao: "Then I may not forgive myself. Why is this sword..."

Lord Xing didn't answer directly, but instead said: "How does it feel to have power?"

Tang Zhao said frankly, "Happy."

Master Xing said: "Do you want to have this power forever?"

Tang Zhao said pleasantly, "Is it possible?"

"Of course not."

"..."

Mr. Xing was a little more serious: "How can you keep your own strength? If you want reliable and long-lasting strength, you can only cultivate it step by step. Do you like swordsmanship?"

Tang Zhao blurted out, "Of course I like it!"

Master Xing said: "Really like it? More like reading?"

Tang Zhaodao: "Reading is also very good...but learning sword is the most handsome!"

If you ask him why he wants to learn martial arts in normal times, he will definitely say that it is for safety, for survival, and for grasping his destiny...

Those are all real, rational, and immediate reasons, but when he has enough strength in him, and the big stone in his heart is temporarily removed, revealing his sincerity, he blurted out——

Very handsome!
That was his original desire to learn sword since he was a child!
Mr. Xing smiled slightly, gave a thumbs up and said, "Well said. Full of energy! I just like a young man like you, I feel like there is still hope in life."

After saying that, he sat up straight, suddenly full of energy, no longer had the gloomy depression before, and said: "If you like swords, learn swords, start from the beginning, practice kung fu, practice moves, practice swords! Then ride the wind to control the sword, like thunder moving in the nine heavens On top of that, between the blue sky and the yellow spring, holding the sky and turning the tide with one hand, it is not in vain that you have the face of a young hero and the heart of a generous knight."

Tang Zhaoyi was fascinated, and said: "If it can be like this..." Suddenly, he reacted, and asked in surprise: "Will you teach me swordsmanship?"

Master Xing said: "That depends on whether you want to learn or not."

Tang Zhao was even more pleasantly surprised: "Of course—"

Immediately afterwards, he realized again, how could someone teach him swordsmanship if he was not a relative?

Not to mention swordsmanship, even the most superficial boxing technique, you have to spend dozens of taels of silver to learn it after passing the exam in the martial arts gym.

If there is gain, there must be sacrifice.

so……

Tang Zhao collected himself and asked, "Have I passed the test?"

Pass the test just by picking up the sword?It's too easy.

The story still needs to be pulled out from the stone.

Then why did Wei Changle not pass?Can't pull it out?

Xing Ji said: "Don't worry. You hold the sword and stand still, with one hand. Separate your feet, one in front and one in back——"

He directed Tang Zhao to change his posture, which was similar to the starting posture of swordsmanship.Tang Zhao did as he said, and it was very easy with all the strength in his body, but there was still a long sword tassel hanging under the sword, so he had to lift the sword a little higher to avoid dragging the ground.

"Just keep this action, let's talk. You can ask your own doubts. I am in a good mood today, and I know everything. After passing this village, there will be no such shop."

Tang Zhao was startled, but began to think about it. He was indeed full of doubts, but Mr. Xing told him to open up and ask, but he didn't know where to start.

After thinking about it again and again, Tang Zhao said out of nowhere: "My lord, you were the one who was hiding in the bushes and shooting arrows that day, wasn't it?"
