Chapter 35 On the Sword
"Then how about we have a competition tomorrow morning?" Hearing Dugujing's words, Chang Ning eagerly asked.

"Tomorrow?" As he spoke, Dugu Jing looked out of the main hall, turned around and said, "Tomorrow morning, there will be drizzle, is it better?"

"Comparison, fighting swords in the rain is even more enjoyable." Although Chang Ning didn't know why Dugu Jing said that there would be drizzle tomorrow morning, it was so rare to meet an opponent of similar age and equal strength, and he didn't want to miss it.

"Okay, see you tomorrow at Maoshi in the martial arts arena." Dugu Jing said while holding the dagger in her arms.

Just as he was talking, a young eunuch came out from the main hall and said to everyone: "Mr. Wen invites you all to discuss matters in the main hall, and the weapons must be kept outside the main hall."

Hearing what the little eunuch said, Dugujing reluctantly handed over the dagger to him.Chang Ning was no exception. He also pulled out the two daggers from his waist and handed them to the little eunuch.

Shen Jianping and Mu Qing hung their sabers on the weapon rack at the entrance of the hall.

After putting away their weapons, the four of them entered the main hall.

Different from the imperial palace, the main hall of Yihua Palace is more like a gang.

There is a seat in the middle, and there is a chair on each side of the lower head of the seat.Further down, there are several chairs on the left and right sides, arranged in order.

Chang Ning, Dugu Jing, Mu Qing, and Shen Jianping entered the main hall. Mr. Wen was already sitting in the middle, while Commander Qi and Fang Junshi were sitting on the left and right sides of him.

After entering the main hall, Chang Ning didn't say much, and sat directly under Fang Junshi.And Mu Qing, Shen Jianping and Dugujing bowed and kowtowed to Mr. Wen respectively.

When Dugu Jing saluted Mr. Wen, Mr. Wen looked at the delicate little girl in front of him, and couldn't help being a little suspicious, "Could it really be this beautiful girl in front of me, the son of Zhang Wuji who won at the Bright Summit?"

Although Mr. Wen has never seen Zhang Wuji's martial arts, too many legends in the world and the court have made Zhang Wuji a myth, and his son's martial arts should not be bad.

So, Mr. Wen asked: "Dugu Jing, I heard that you defeated Zhang Qingming, son of Zhang Wuji, at Guangmingding. Is there such a thing?"

Dugujing raised her head and said, "At Guangmingding, I did beat Zhang Qingming. However, the victory or defeat is only a narrow line, and the victory is a fluke, so it's not worth showing off."

Seeing the beautiful and beautiful face in front of him, Mr. Wen couldn't help but be moved.

There are countless beauties in the palace, but I have seen such a beautiful girl, this Dugujing is indeed stunning.

Young Master Wen tried his best to gather his mind, and said: "Even if it is a fluke, it is still a victory. The Holy One is very happy for this, and decided to reward you."

"Then, thank the Lord for your kindness." Dugu Jing replied as calmly as water.

Seeing that Dugu Jing's face was expressionless, Mr. Wen knew that it would be useless to talk about it, so he said to everyone: "Okay, you guys should take your seats too."

Hearing Mr. Wen's order, Dugu sat quietly under Chang Ning, while Mu Qing and Shen Jianping sat next to Commander Qi.

Seeing that everyone was seated, Mr. Wen said: "Master Shen and Ms. Dugu Guangmingding and their party have not only grasped the trend of the Sun Moon Sect, but also defeated the leader of the Sun Moon Sect. It can be said that they have gained a lot. Stop. If you win the son of the new teacher Zhang Wuji at Sun Moon Sect, then you will go to Emei next, and win the daughter of Zhang Wuji, the elder sister of Emei.

Looking for another chance, even Zhang Wuji will be defeated together.Conquer people with force,"

Not long after Mr. Wen finished speaking, Mu Qing stood up, kowtowed and said, "Mr. Wen, Beizhen Fusi Mu Qingqianhu is willing to lead a team to Emei to compete with the Emei faction."

After listening to Mu Qing's words, Mr. Wen's face darkened and he said, "Mu Qing, didn't I say that there is no Jin Yiwei in Yihua Palace, let alone a town governor, have you forgotten?"

Hearing Mr. Wen's words, Mu Qing's heart turned cold, and she quickly knelt down on her knees and said, "Palace Master, Mu Qing must remember next time."

"Get up, you won't be blamed this time, and you will be punished next time. You have to remember that in Yihua Palace, you only kowtow, you don't kneel down, you know?" Mr. Wen said, still angry.

"Yes, Mu Qing will remember." Saying that, Mu Qing stood up.

"Master Mu, I know that the Mu family in Dali has the unique knowledge of the six-meridian sword, and the formation of the dragon monks is also invincible. However, after all, the martial arts competition is a one-on-one competition. You can't let sixty monks join together, right?
In the Central Plains martial arts, the rules of door-to-door challenges usually require three rounds of competition. Whoever can stay on the stage is the winner.If you can win three games in a row, you are allowed to go alone.However, the Emei School not only has Taishan Beidou Zhou Zhiruo from the Central Plains martial arts, but also Zhang Luliu, Zhou Zhiruo's closed disciple who is rumored to be extremely skilled in martial arts. Are you confident that you can beat them both in a row? "Mr. Wen asked.

"This..." After all, Zhou Zhiruo had never met an opponent in the Central Plains these years, and Mu Qing couldn't guarantee whether she could really win, so she was speechless for a while.

Seeing that Mu Qing didn't answer, Mr. Wen said: "Well, I'll let Chang Ning and his bodyguard Sanbao go to Emei with you. Shen Jianping and Sanbao's sword competition was at the scene, and Sanbao's swordsmanship is superb. You have defeated Shen Jianping. If he assists you, you will definitely win this time when you go to Emei."

"I'm going too." Dugujing, who was sitting aside with a serious expression, said suddenly.

Seeing Dugujing speak, Mr. Wen said: "Dugujing, Guangmingding, you have already surpassed Zhang Qingming, this time Emei, let Master Mu lead the team to go."

"Mr. Wen, I just want to experience Emei's superb martial arts. If I go, I won't make a move."

"Okay, Dugujing. It just so happens that I need a companion along the way, and you go to Emei, too." Chang Ning, who was sitting next to Dugujing, said.

Seeing what Chang Ning said, Mr. Wen said: "That's fine, Dugu Jingben allows you to go to Emei with Master Mu."

"Thank you, Palace Master." Dugu said quietly.

After listening to the conversation of several people, Shen Jianping stood up and said: "Master, when we rushed to Yihua Palace, the frontier came to report that Zhang Wuji's family had left Guangmingding and headed towards Emei. Counting the time, if we go to Yihua Palace now , by the time we arrive, Zhang Wuji's family may have already arrived in Emei. If Zhang Wuji makes a move, the outcome will be uncertain."

Hearing Shen Jianping's confession, Mr. Wen thought for a moment and said, "This time I'm going to Emei, mainly to find out the facts, and there is no need to expose the full strength of Yihua Palace. If you juniors make the move, Zhang Wuji and Zhou Zhiruo, as martial arts masters, are It won't be taken lightly.

Go down and prepare. Three days later, Qi Tong will lead the team to Emei. "

"Yes!" Several people got up and said.

……

Everyone left the main hall, but Chang Ning did not leave, leaned in front of Mr. Wen, and said with a coquettish smile, "Brother, you are still welcome, let me go out to see the world. If my father is here, I will be locked up in the house, no matter where Don't let me go."

"You torture me every day. If I don't let you go, I think it will be difficult for me to be quiet. However, I told Commander Qi that you can only watch from the sidelines and never do anything." Mr. Wen said with a serious face.

"Brother, I got it. I will definitely not do anything when the time comes." Chang Ning said with big eyes flashing.

"You girl, you can't go back on what you say when the time comes. By the way, are you familiar with that Dugu Jing?" At this time, Dugu Jing's beautiful face appeared in front of Mr. Wen again, and he asked casually.

"I'm not familiar, today is the first time I've seen her. But I can feel that her swordsmanship must be very high, very powerful." Chang Ning responded.

Mr. Wen's heart skipped a beat, "Hearing you say that, I really want to see her sword skills."

"That's not easy. I have made an appointment with Dugujing. I will fight swords with her in the martial arts field tomorrow." Chang Ning said softly.

Hearing Chang Ning's words, Master Zhongwen was in his arms, and said: "Okay, when the time comes for you to compete, I must be there to watch. If you are about to lose, you can't cry."

"I don't know how to learn swords in the Yanwang Mansion. I fought with the eunuchs of the Yanwang Mansion for real. I lost a lot when I was young, and my body was bruised and purple. After knowing the shame, I was brave and practiced hard. Only then did I win one match after another. of.

Now except for Chief Chang Hai and Three Treasures, no one in Yan Palace can beat me.

Even if he loses to Dugujing, his skills are inferior to others, so there is nothing to cry about. "Chang Ning said solemnly.

"That's good. I want to see how good Dugu Jing's swordsmanship is, and he can defeat Zhang Wuji's son." Mr. Wen said thoughtfully.

……

Yihua Palace, East courtyard of the middle hall, Dugu Jing's residence.

Back in the room, Dugujing put her dagger on the table and lay cross-body on the bed.

Close your eyes and sit in meditation, hold your hands firmly and meditate on your mind.Knock teeth 36, hold Kunlun with both hands;

Sound the drum from left to right, smell it at 24 degrees, shake the pillar slightly, and the red dragon stirs the water...

After an hour of breath adjustment, the exhaustion from running around for several days was swept away, and I became refreshed.

After a simple dinner, he returned to the bronze mirror and combed his long hair.

Looking at her frowns and smiles in the bronze mirror, Dugujing suddenly remembered the sword competition between Guangmingding and Zhang Qingming.Although he defeated Zhang Qingming with all his might, in Dugu Jing's heart, not only did he not despise Zhang Qingming, but for some reason, he felt a little more concerned about him.

From the day she became sensible, Dugujing stayed away from her parents and practiced martial arts with her grandfather on Peach Blossom Island.Although Taohua Island also has other senior brothers, but these senior brothers are almost the same age as her parents, much older than her.

Therefore, I have no playmates of the same age since I was a child.

When she was 14, her grandfather made an exception and allowed her to leave Peach Blossom Island and live with her parents in Nanjing for a period of time, but when she arrived in Nanjing, her parents were afraid that something would happen to her, so they stayed at home most of the time and did not let her go out.

The only one who can get in touch is the Jin Yiwei of Nanzhen Fusi.

So, Dugu Jing asked Jin Yiwei to compete in swords.At first, Jin Yiwei of Nanzhen Fusi thought she was just an underage girl, and no one took her seriously.Unexpectedly, after winning all the masters who tried Baihu, Baihu, Deputy Qianhu, and Qianhu Nanzhen Fusi, no one in Nanzhen Fusi would dare to compete with Dugujing anymore.

Without an opponent, Dugujing thought about going out to see the world.

Of course, Dugu Qianhong, who didn't even want her out of the house, would not let her mess around.No matter how advanced her martial arts are, Dugujing is just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl, and the world is dangerous. As a parent, how can she rest assured.

Since her parents don't let Dugu wander around quietly, she wants to leave Nanjing and return to Peach Blossom Island to continue practicing swordsmanship with her grandfather.After all, in Dugu Nine Swords, Dugu Jing only has mastered the sword-breaking style, and the other eight styles, especially the Qi-breaking style, are still half-understood and have not mastered their essence.

When they heard that their daughter was going back to Peach Blossom Island, Dugu Qianhong and his wife pushed back and forth.In their eyes, as a girl, Dugujing's martial arts is already high enough, no matter how high she is, she will not be able to find her husband's family in the future.

While the child is still young and still able to listen to them, it is more important to make a marriage for her.If she went back to Peach Blossom Island and was by her grandfather's side, in a few years, she wouldn't be able to control her anymore.

However, Dugujing is not so easy to restrain, after knowing that her parents Zhang Nong is engaged for her, she insists on going back to Peach Blossom Island.

My daughter's martial arts are too high to be stopped.

Helpless, Dugu Qianhong had no choice but to agree to her daughter and let her follow Shen Jianping and his party to go to Guangmingding to experience and gain knowledge, which is how to stabilize Dugu.

This time, it was not Dugu Jing's intention to come to Yihua Palace.She just wanted to go back to Peach Blossom Island as soon as possible, and share with her grandpa what she learned from the sword competition with Zhang Qingming, so as to elevate her swordsmanship to a higher level.

I wanted to stay for a few days, so I wanted to leave.

Today I heard that Yihua Palace is going to the Emei Sect to compete.Thinking that Zhang Qingming was already on his way to Emei, and went to Emei with Yihua Palace, and would definitely meet the gentle, strong and handsome Zhang Qingming, Dugujing couldn't help feeling sorry for her, so she decided to stay.

Dugujing looked at herself in the mirror, and found that her cheeks turned red for some reason.He tried not to think about Zhang Qingming, but Zhang Qingming's appearance couldn't be lingered no matter what, and it became more and more clear.

Helpless, I had no choice but to silently recite the inner strength method and discard distracting thoughts before I fell into tranquility.

……

Yihua Palace, the martial arts arena.

The rain in the south of the Yangtze River is like a dream, like a poem, like a song, like a rhyme.

The rain in the south of the Yangtze River is like cow hair, like flower needles, like filaments, dense and slanting, continuous and drizzling, like smoke and mist, like illusion and dream, covering Yihua Palace with a mysterious veil.

Just as Dugujing said, at sunrise, it really rained.

Fortunately, the rain was not heavy, and the competition was just right.

On the martial arts arena, Dugujing and Changning stood facing each other.

Outside the arena, the crowd, headed by Master Wen of Yihua Palace, had already stopped outside the arena, for fear of missing the opportunity to have a quick look.

Originally, the contest between two fourteen or fifteen-year-old girls was of no importance.However, after Dugu Jing Guangming became famous in the first battle, everyone had to look at her with admiration.

Although Princess Changning's swordsmanship is high or low, no one knows.Just seeing Dugujing's serious expression, everyone guessed that Princess Changning's martial arts must be extraordinary.

Dugujing was still dressed in white, with the dagger out of its sheath, shining coldly in the drizzle.

Chang Ning was dressed in purple. He first drew out his right dagger and then his left dagger. Seeing this, Sanbao hurried forward to take the scabbard.

The drizzle was falling, and there were only two young girls, one white and one purple, standing in the center of the training ground, their eyes facing each other with expressionless faces.

Another gust of wind blew past and rolled up the fallen leaves on the ground. Dugujing suddenly said coquettishly: "Offended." Immediately, he straightened out his long sword and stabbed obliquely.

When Chang Ning saw Dugujing's completely useless move, he was not in a hurry, until the tip of the sword was close to his chest, the sword in his right hand flicked against the sword's force, and the sword in his left hand stabbed directly at Dugujing's ribs.

This sword is as fast as lightning.
