That year, that cicada, that sword

Chapter 599

Xu Beiyou said: "I don't like the imperial capital, it's full of scheming, Zhinan, if we have a chance, let's go to the East China Sea for a walk? I heard it's very good there."

Xiao Zhinan nodded with a smile.

At this moment, a guest came to the emperor's son-in-law's mansion.

An old man walked slowly from the wind and snow, Qingshuang, one of the twelve swords of Jianzong, was hanging on his waist, and white snow hung on his white hair.

He just stopped in the courtyard, facing Xu Beiyou in the corridor far away, one old and one young, although they all have white hair, but there is a huge gap in age. If you start from Xiao Zhinan, there is at least a four-generation gap, that is, from Gongsun Counting from Zhongmou's side, there are also three generations.

Xu Beiyou didn't rush to speak.

The old man said flatly: "When I was in the imperial city that day, I once said that I wanted to make a deal with you. This deal can be regarded as a combination of benefits. After the deal is completed, this green frost will be yours. I don't know what you think now. gone."

Xu Beiyou said in a deep voice, "I don't know what you want? Apart from Zhu Xian, I really don't understand what else you, the ancestor of the Xiao family, would like. If Zhu Xian, then there is no need to continue the discussion."

Xiao Shen laughed it off, "What I want is not something external to me."

Xu Beiyou is not a stupid person, he suddenly said: "Then there is only Jian 36."

Xiao Shen rubbed the hilt of the sword at his waist lightly, and said softly: "Jian 36, known as the master of swordsmanship in the sword sect, is all-encompassing and inclusive. The first three moves are the general formula, as long as it is a disciple who enters the room. Practice, starting from the fourth sword step by step, sword four to sword eight is the foundation, sword nine to sword thirteen involves the field of sword energy, you must have enough realm cultivation to support it, and sword fourteen to sword ten Nine, it changes from sword energy to sword intent, as for sword 33 to sword [-], it is already a complete range of swordsmanship, and it is not enough to appreciate all the mysteries in it if you are not in the realm of earth and immortality."

Xu Beiyou said calmly: "The younger generation has seen Taiyi of the Daomen Zhenmo Palace save Ku Tianzun with sword 34, and the heavenly sword performed Dao, pointing directly at the Dao, which made people yearn for it."

Xiao Shen smiled lightly, "Taiyi's swordsmanship to save Ku Tianzun was taught to her by the old man himself. Back then, she was young and vigorous, and she didn't know the severity. She offended Xiao Yu, who was already dominating half of the country, and was abandoned by Tianchen, who was in power. As the Lord, I broke into the Demon Suppressing Well of the Demon Suppressing Palace, and my cultivation base is ten or eight, but it is also in line with what Ji Tailai said. At this time, I can abolish my cultivation base of Yuqing and rebuild my Shangqing Dao. Make a comeback and reach the eighteenth floor in one fell swoop."

Xu Beiyou said: "Since the senior can teach such a peerless master as Taiyi Save the Ku Tianzun, why bother to ask for the sword 36 from the junior?"

Xiao Shen cut to the chase and said bluntly: "Although a patriarch once said that 36 swords are not high or low, but that is after the realm of the gods. Before the attainment of longevity, the lower the ranking of the sword style, the more mysterious it is. Unpredictable, so the last three swords are the essence of the whole sword 36, and I will not pass it lightly. As one of the three elders of Jianzong, the old man can only stop at sword 34, and miss the final two swords of opening the sky and opening the earth. sword."

Xiao Shen said with emotion: "On the bank of the great river that day, I saw Shangguan Xianchen first use the sword 36 to break the sky and smash the nine-fold thunder calamity, cut through the clouds in the sky, and then used the sword 35 to break the ground and face him directly. Xiao Yu, who came from the general trend, blocked the sword of the emperor, but after all, he was still short of manpower. Shangguan Xianchen did not die under the Huanghuang Heavenly Tribulation, nor was he defeated by Xiao Yu, but he lost to himself in the end. Looking back, I see the demeanor of those two swords in front of my eyes, and I can't let go of them for 50 years."

Xu Beiyou suddenly laughed and said, "This junior has used the sword 36 that has been half-sworded by chance."

Xiao Shen seemed to have known about it for a long time, and said indifferently: "That's why the old man came to you. After Shangguan Xianchen and Gongsun Zhongmou died one after another, I am afraid that you are the last person in the world who knows the whole chapter of Sword 36."

Xu Beiyou kept silent.

The old man said softly: "The twelve swords of Jianzong created an invincible earth immortal. If you hand over sword 36, you will not lose anything. Instead, you will get a piece of green frost, which will make your realm go further, and the old man is just like this." Years of wish, do you think it is a combination of benefits?"

Xu Beiyou shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I will disappoint Senior."

Xiao Shen's eyes suddenly turned sharp, and his eyes seemed to be real.

Xu Beiyou pointed to his head, "The whole sword 36 is here. I can see it, but I can't print it out and give it to others. Maybe I have to wait until I really use these two swords. to do this business.”

Xiao Shen stared at Xu Beiyou for a long time, as if he wanted to see some clues from his face.

Xu Beiyou's expression was calm, without any disturbance.

In the end, Xiao Shen snorted softly, turned around and disappeared into the snowstorm.

Xiao Zhinan came behind Xu Beiyou and asked, "Why didn't you agree to him?"

Xu Beiyou didn't hide much from his wife, and explained: "I didn't lie to him, it's true that there are swords 36 in my Zifu Consciousness Sea, but those sword styles that I haven't understood are like mountains, I can see them They can't do the feat of moving mountains."

Xiao Zhinan asked in amazement: "What if you can't comprehend it all your life?"

Xu Beiyou chuckled, "Then it's lost, or else it's a desperate game, but then again, if I can really use sword 36, Xiao Shen dares to come and make a deal with me?"

Xu Beiyou paused for a moment, then continued: "Furthermore, even if I have sword 36 in my hand, I will never hand it over to someone who betrays the sword sect."

Xiao Zhinan nodded.

Xu Beiyou said to himself: "The so-called revenge is actually useless, but the key is to make yourself feel at ease."

Xiao Zhinan frowned slightly.

Xu Beiyou said slowly: "In the homes of ordinary people, at the end of the year, it is the day when debts are paid and new year's goods are bought. These are expensive expenses. If you are shy, you will inevitably go out to hide your debts. Most of the time, they will say that the end of the year is sad, and now that the end of the year is approaching, this year will be difficult."

Xiao Zhinan said softly: "The New Year is sad every year."

Xu Beiyou sighed, "Being homeless everywhere, no matter how sad you are, you still have to live."

Xu Beiyou looked up at the wind and snow, "I don't know why, I always have a premonition recently that on a certain snowy day in the future, I will cut through the wind and snow with a single sword, and the white snow will be stained red with blood."

Xiao Zhinan hesitated for a moment, but finally asked, "Is the god fighting?"

Xu Beiyou said calmly: "There will definitely be fights, and people will die. I barely have the qualifications to participate in the battle now, but if it really gets to that point, it is doomed that no one will be able to survive alone, and besides the Earth Immortal of the eighteenth floor, no one will be able to fight." I dare not say that I am safe, Zhang Zhaonu's death in Changle Pavilion is a lesson from the past."

Xiao Zhinan said softly: "Although I am the daughter of the Xiao family, I don't want you to bet your wealth and life on this surname. It is said that the water thrown by the married daughter is now a member of the Xu family."

Xu Beiyou joked, "Should I call you Xu Xiaoshi?"

Xiao Zhinan punched him lightly.

Xu Beiyou glanced at the growing snowflakes outside, and asked softly, "Is it cold?"

Xiao Zhinan shook his head.
