That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 1157

The imperial capital is falling in white snow, as if it wants to cover this majestic city with a suit of white.Soon, all the people in the city disappeared.

But all of this has nothing to do with the young man. He has already set off to the east, left the imperial city, left the imperial capital, passed through Zhili Prefecture, and went out to sea from Bohai Mansion to cross the East China Sea.

While he was advancing, time also passed quickly, and when he came to Wei State, it was already the first year of Great Qi Jianing.

Wei Guo is an "enclave" hanging overseas, and it is difficult for the Central Plains Dynasty to grasp it 100%. It has experienced several masters. The earliest master is the Zhang family of Wei Guo. However, with the founding of Daqi, the master of Wei became Xiao Jin, the half-brother of Emperor Taizu of Daqi, who was later the famous King Wei.

But many years have passed, whether it is King Wei or the five great families, they have all become a thing of the past.Today's Wei State is still under the control of the imperial court in name, with three yamen and seal officials in charge, but everyone in the Wei State knows it well, even if it is a full house of officials thousands of miles away, they all know what can really be done now. The situation in Wei State still depends on the three great families.

What are the three great families?Zhang, Li, Qin.

The three families are in the form of a tripartite confrontation, and the relationship between them is intricate, there is no shortage of internal struggles, and if there are foreign enemies, they will unanimously attack the outside world.

However, there is a distinction between strong and weak masters and subordinates in everything. Among the three families today, the Li family is the head, because the ancestors of the Li family were extremely tyrannical.When he reached the age of knowing destiny, his sword practice became more and more flawless. He went to the Houjian, climbed to the Qingming Palace in Dabai Mountain, challenged the leader of Xuanjiao, and returned with a big victory, truly forging his reputation as No. 1 in the world.Then in the year of Jiazi, on his [-]th birthday, all the heroes from all over the world came to congratulate him, and his reputation reached its peak. At the birthday banquet, some people praised him as a sword fairy, but he bluntly said, "I am not a fairy, but a god." After that, the name of Sword God spread all over the world.

When the young man came to the Li family mansion, he happened to meet that Li Jianshen.

At this time, the sword god is an old man who has lived for many years, but judging from his appearance, he probably only looks like the age of knowing his destiny, with a staid demeanor, not angry but mighty.

In addition to the old man, there was also a child about ten years old, holding a long sword in his hand, standing in front of the old man, respectful and listening to the teachings.

The old man sat on a red sandalwood armchair, pressed his hands on his knees respectively, and supported his entire upper body. He looked like a tiger crouching like a military commander, and asked in a deep voice: "What are you holding in your hand?"

The young man respectfully replied, "It's a sword."

"What is a sword?" the old man asked again.

The boy was stunned, subconsciously lowered his head and looked at Sanchi in his hand, not knowing how to answer.

The old man suddenly raised his voice, "A sword is a murder weapon."

The boy was taken aback, but he still held the long sword in his hand tightly.

"I'll ask you again." The old man stared at the young man in front of him, "What is the murder weapon?"

The young man tremblingly replied: "The murder weapon is the murder weapon."

The old man was quite satisfied with the young man's answer, so he slowed down his voice a little, and said, "A sword is a murder weapon, a weapon for killing people, so swordsmanship is the art of killing people, and the way of swordsmanship is the way of killing people."

While speaking, the old man got up from the chair, stretched out one hand, stretched five fingers, palm facing down.

There is a huge sword slowly appearing in the world.

The old man didn't grab the world-famous Shuangtian Xiaojiao immediately, but it was only a sword that appeared in the world, and the sword intent and energy contained in it had already shot straight into the sky to shoot the bullfighting bull.

The sword energy surged, and the situation changed, so that a huge vortex appeared in the sky, as if the eyes of the legendary extraterrestrial demon were looking down on the world through the sky.

The old man stood with his hands behind his back, and the giant sword trembled slightly. Wisps of crimson sword energy continued to seep from the sword body of the giant sword, reflecting the old man, the young man, and even the entire courtyard in blood red.

At this moment, the entire Li family held their breath, and everyone knew that this was the ancestor's sword. At the same time, every member of the Li family felt an indescribable sense of pride.

This is the giant pillar of the Li family, and this is the current sword god.

Fortunately, the old man just called out his saber to let the young man feel the sword intent, not to strike at anyone, so soon, the soaring sword intent disappeared, and the whole Li family returned to peace.

The young man who had just witnessed this scene widened his eyes, his face flushed with excitement, and he firmly held the three-foot green sharp edge in his hand, as if holding this sword was holding a step that reaches the sky, and finally One day, he will also be like the old man in front of him, like the ancestors of the past generations, one person with one sword, invincible in all directions.

It's just that the young man didn't know that a young patriarch was not far behind him, standing with his hands behind his back, watching them quietly.

After a long time, the boy's voice was still trembling and he asked, "Master, can I be like you in the future?"

The old man looked at him, "Don't ask me, ask yourself."

The boy lowered his head and muttered to himself, "Ask yourself?"

At this moment, another younger child stumbled into the courtyard, his face was wrinkled, and his mouth was tightly pursed. He was obviously frightened by the scene just now, but he didn't cry out. , Not even a drop of tears fell, and at the same time, he carried a long sword taller than him on his shoulders, which seemed a little funny.

The old man turned his head to look at the child, the majestic expression on his face softened a little.

The childish boy looked at the boy, and then sighed old-fashionedly, "I want to grow up, to be as big as my brother."

The old man smiled and asked, "What will you do when you grow up?"

The child raised his head, looked at the old man, and said word by word: "Master said that the true meaning of the sword is to kill, but the master once said that the true meaning of the sword is to save people. When I grow up, I want to use the sword in my hand. Save the suffering people in the world."

After hearing the words, the old man was startled for a moment, and then laughed loudly, "Saving people? Just because of you, a little guy who can't even hold a sword steadily?"

Zhitong looked serious and nodded heavily, "Save people! With me, and with the sword in my hand!"

The old man just took it as a child's words that don't know the heights of the sky and the earth, he didn't take it seriously, and he didn't take it to heart, so he smiled and didn't speak.

The true meaning of the sword is to save people?

What a big joke.

The ancestors of these two little guys, that is, the old man's master, killed half of the world with one sword, and many famous masters died under his sword, and countless enemies were made, but so what?It's not that they are free and easy, no one can do anything about it, even many people dare not even have the thought of resentment, but they are just glad that they did not die under his sword.

Such a person, such a sword, how could he save people with a sword?
This sentence is just a joke, at most it is a scene, and it cannot be taken seriously.

Just as the old man was about to turn around and leave, he suddenly felt something, grabbed the hilt of the giant sword suddenly, and turned his head to look.

At this moment, the substantial sword intent swept across the entire Li family mansion like the autumn wind sweeping the fallen leaves.

But nothing.

A trace of bewilderment flashed across the eyes of the old man. In today's world, no one should be able to escape his sword intent. Could it be that he felt wrong?
He slowly exhaled a mouthful of turbid air, and restrained all the overflowing and majestic sword intent again.

But the old man did not look back for a long time.

And in the direction he had been looking at, stood a young figure covered in frost and snow.

He could see the old man, but the old man could not see him.

Just as the old man looked at him, he also looked at the old man.

At this moment, the master and apprentice looked at each other a hundred years apart.
