Wuxia: I know a lot of martial arts

Chapter 197 That knife became a demon
Outside the courtyard, the horses shook, and the coffin on the frame also shook.

Under the setting sun, the coffin, which is mainly red, exudes a gloomy dark yellow color.

Just like all the coffins in the world, no matter how famous or accomplished the person is, if they lie inside, they will be dead.

Luo Changying stared for a moment, her face flickering, and finally turned into a calm.

He slowly sat back on the stone bench under the tree, and said calmly: "Stop going to the side hall in the valley first, let someone who knows your junior say goodbye to him for the last time, and tomorrow I will go to the back mountain to find a place with good geomantic omen." Bury him there."

"Ah?" Xu Lingfeng, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly raised his head and saw the calm master, a little unbelievable.

The master just dealt with his favorite apprentice calmly like this?
Don't ask the reason, don't ask about the funeral, don't even mention revenge?

Xu Lingfeng couldn't understand it.

"Why, do you want me, an old guy, to dig his grave myself?" Luo Changying glanced at him and said expressionlessly.

"Don't dare!" Xu Lingfeng quickly lowered his head.

Luo Changying looked at him for a long time before sighing: "Let him rest in the side hall first, and then you come back to me."

"Yes, master!" Xu Lingfeng didn't dare to speak his beak anymore, got up, exited the yard, set up the carriage again and left.

Sitting quietly on the stone bench, Luo Changying quietly listened to the sound of the carriage leaving until it was no longer audible.

After a long time, he raised his head, a trace of sadness flashed on his calm face, and sighed, "Ziqian, Ziqian, what should I do?"

He seemed to recall that afternoon a few years ago, when the sun was setting and the sky was full of red clouds.

When he went to Meng County to meet friends, he saw Shi Ziqian who was fighting with people on the street.

Shi Ziqian was a teenager, although his martial arts skills were not high, and his martial arts skills were relatively immature, but Luo Changying discovered his talent for practicing swords.

This is a boy born with sword bones!

It's just that there is no brilliant master and no strong martial arts, so this place in Meng County is abandoned.

At that moment, Luo Changying was moved to cherish his talents, and without thinking too much, he accepted him as a disciple and brought him back to Luoshen Valley.

Shi Ziqian is also very competitive. After arriving in Luoshen Valley, his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds in just a few years, and the Nine Heavens Luohe Sword in his hand is even more extraordinary, and he has developed some small tricks.

Why does everyone say that Shi Ziqian is Luo Changying's favorite disciple?
What he loves is the hope and light of the sword.

Luo Changying even felt that the other party's talent in swordsmanship was even higher than his. Although he was older when he started, his cultivation speed was as fast as many geniuses in the valley.

If there is no accident, Luo Changying thinks that he can gain the power to see the situation before the age of 30, as long as he can practice in the valley with peace of mind, immerse himself in the way of swordsmanship, and not be infected by foreign objects.

It's a pity that Shi Ziqian's mood was disturbed by the impermanence of the world and the changes in his family. When he was not very successful in martial arts, he walked out of Luoshen Valley and finally fell outside.

"Everything is fate!" Luo Changying's eyes were dark.

The fall of Shi Ziqian not only caused him to lose his favorite disciple, but also caused Luoshengu to lose a swordsman genius.

This loss is really heartbreaking!

Luo Changying looked up at the sky, the sun had completely set on the western mountain, and the sky was getting dark.

It's getting dark.

He bowed his head again in meditation.

I don't know how long it took until Xu Lingfeng's rustling footsteps returning to the courtyard woke him up again.

Looking up again, night fell, and the scene in the valley was completely black and blue.

The night wind blew, carrying the unique coolness of the deep valley, bringing up his temples.

"Master!" Xu Lingfeng knelt heavily at Luo Changying's feet again.

"Get up and talk, don't just kneel, warriors and swordsmen should have the will and spirit to be as indestructible as a sword." Luo Changying said dissatisfied.

"Master, I don't dare!" Xu Lingfeng cried out sadly, "It's useless for my apprentice, let Junior Brother Ziqian fold outside, and I owe the master's entrustment to my apprentice to take care of him! Master, punish me !"

Xu Lingfeng was really sad, he spoke sincerely, his voice was hoarse, and tears were streaming down his face.

Luo Changying glanced at him, and said helplessly: "People who practice martial arts, walk in the world, how can there be no reason for nothing to happen? Today you can kill others, and tomorrow they can kill you. Generals will inevitably die in battle. No one can avoid it!"

"But..." Xu Lingfeng looked sad, "Master, that's Junior Brother Ziqian, your favorite disciple! Shouldn't we... avenge him?"

He heard his master's attitude of being indifferent to everything.

Xu Lingfeng didn't come back this time just to bring back a corpse. He needed some support from Luoshengu to avenge Shi Ziqian.

If even his own master doesn't want to avenge his apprentice, then what should he do?
Luo Changying took a deep look at him and sighed, "Ling Feng, you are late."

"Late?" Xu Lingfeng was puzzled, "Master, what do you mean?"

Luo Changying said with a wry smile: "At noon today, the owner of the valley called me over, saying that the governor of Liangzhou sent someone to send us a letter to Luoshen Valley, in which he asked us whether Luoshen Valley would flout Dayao's laws and condone The disciples of Guzhong went to attack and kill the people in the court yamen!

"Governor Liangzhou also said in the letter that this matter must never be repeated! If it happens again, it will be regarded as an insult to the imperial court, and they will really not be polite!"

"What?" Xu Lingfeng was shocked, and his voice became louder, "Master, what happened in Qingcheng, and the governor of Liangzhou is in Yuncheng, how could he make such a big fuss about it?"

Luo Changying sighed and said: "We have inquired about this matter through Luoshen Valley. It is said that it was the idea of ​​the governor of Liangzhou. He encouraged the governor of Liangzhou to come forward. It turns out that the governor of Liangzhou also felt that this matter was a blow to the court. For this reason, he did not hesitate to question our valley owner."

Xu Lingfeng was furious: "Master, they are threatening us at Luoshen Valley! Are we going to let this go?"

"Then what do you want?" Luo Changying asked back.

"I..." Xu Lingfeng was speechless.

Although he doesn't have much experience in the world, but in the holy land of martial arts, his knowledge is extraordinary.

In the eyes of martial arts people, the holy land of martial arts is a lofty existence with incomparable prestige, but in the eyes of the high-level officials of the imperial court, it is a thorn in the side and a thorn in the flesh, and they can't wait to get rid of it quickly.

It's not just the black-clothed guards staring at them, the local feudal officials have also been implementing the royal family's will, targeting and suppressing the martial arts forces in various ways.

The governor of a state, the official rank of the second rank, can also mobilize the army, even if it is Luoshengu, he dare not take it lightly.

Under thousands of troops, the top masters of the Nine Realms would have to hold their noses and turn around and leave, let alone some sects that cannot be removed?

Luo Changying said in a deep voice: "What our valley master means is that the face of the governor of Liangzhou cannot be directly slapped. You also know that these few years are the critical time for our valley master to attack the Nine Realms. We must not leave accident."

Xu Lingfeng was dissatisfied: "Master, let's forget about the enmity of the younger brother?"

Luo Changying's complexion sank, and he said in a low voice for a long time, "If you want to blame me, blame me for being useless. If I were in the Nine Realm Realm, the governor of Liangzhou would not write a letter to question him, or he might obediently kill your junior brother." Send it over and let us deal with it!"

"Master!" Xu Lingfeng's eyes were red.

Luo Changying clearly said that he was useless, but he was actually laughing at himself for the entire Luoshen Valley.

Luoshen Valley has a reputation as a holy land of martial arts, but in fact it has been relatively low these years, because everyone knows that they have not been a master of the nine realms for many years.

As for the top masters of the Nine Realms, even the imperial court has to pay three points of respect.

The imperial court is not afraid of the holy land, let alone their large number of disciples, because the holy land is in a fixed place, and they can't escape anyway; and no matter how many people there are, can they outnumber the imperial court's tens of thousands of soldiers?
Instead, what they are afraid of is the kind of high-level masters who can't be killed easily!

Once being targeted by a master of the Nine Realms, even Emperor Dayao, who is in the deep palace, may not be able to sleep peacefully.

Seeing Luo Changying's lonely old face, Xu Lingfeng couldn't help feeling sad, and sobbed, "Master, drive me out of the door!"

"What did you say?" Luo Changying was shocked.

Xu Lingfeng gritted his teeth and said: "As long as the disciple is not a disciple of Luoshengu, seeking revenge from Chu Tang is just a personal matter, and has nothing to do with Luoshengu."

Luo Changying looked at Xu Lingfeng in disbelief, and said, "Lingfeng, it's not worth it! Ziqian is gone, do you want me to lose you too?"

Xu Lingfeng kowtowed and said: "Master, if you leave this matter alone and don't mention the prestige of Luoshengu, then you...you will really make your colleagues ridicule. I can't just stand by and watch you suffer this insult!"

"Ling Feng..." Luo Changying sighed, "It's not been a day or two since I've been laughed at by people. Do you think I don't know the name of the second child in a thousand years? I've been here for 20 years. When I'm old, I still don't know." Afraid of a laugh or two?"

"But the apprentice can't make the master suffer this insult! Others will only say that the apprentice of Luoying Excalibur is unworthy!"

Luo Changying said angrily: "Are you saying this to drag your senior brother into the water? If you go to avenge your senior brother, will your senior brother also come forward? Otherwise, how will others think of him?"

"I don't dare!" Xu Lingfeng panicked.

Luo Chang said earnestly in English: "These years are not only the critical moment for our Valley Master, but your big brother is also at the critical moment to hit the Seventh Realm!"

Luo Changying currently only accepts three apprentices.

Xu Lingfeng is the second disciple, and Shi Ziqian is the third disciple.

And his big disciple, Xu Lingfeng's big brother Wu Linkong, is only 35 years old this year, but he has already achieved the perfection of the six realms.

In addition, he also realized the magical effect of power early on, and he was only one step away from the seven realms.

Now that he is retreating in Luoshen Valley, he hopes to consolidate his realm and break through into the upper three realms in one fell swoop.

Luoshen Valley is a holy land of martial arts, and there are many geniuses among the disciples in the valley, but the upper three realms depend on comprehension ability, not everyone can enter the upper three realms, which is the envied state of everyone.

The six realms are easy to obtain, but the seven realms are hard to achieve!
In fact, among Luo Changying's three disciples, Shi Ziqian was the most talented and he loved him the most; Xu Lingfeng was next, and Wu Linkong was next.

However, Luo Changying had the highest evaluation of these three disciples, but Wu Linkong was the one who said he was most like herself.

What is the most commendable thing about Luo Changying?
Before the age of 40, he devoted himself to practicing martial arts in Luoshen Valley. He didn't care about world affairs, and was obsessed with martial arts. In the end, he achieved great success in the Nine Heavens Luohe Sword.

In terms of devotion to kendo, compared to Wu Linkong, it is even worse.

Twenty years ago, at the age of 20, Luo Changying was defeated by a swordsman in the East China Sea. Lonely, he came back from Zhongzhou all the way, and met Wu Linkong, a 45-year-old down-and-out boy on the way. Back to Luoshen Valley.

Since then, Wu Linkong has devoted himself to practicing swords, and has not left the valley for 20 years, until now.

As for his cultivation, in 20 years, he has reached the perfection of the sixth realm from the first realm, and he has also realized the momentum. From a distance, he is about to break through to the seventh realm.

At first glance, it is another copy of Luo Changying!
What's more, he is only 35 years old this year, and he hopes to break Luo Changying's record and enter the seventh realm earlier.

"Our Nine Heavens Falling River Sword is broad and profound, the most important thing is artistic conception, easy to practice but difficult to master. Your senior brother is tireless and has no other distractions. It took 20 years to finally master this sword technique. It is about to blossom and bear fruit, but you keep saying As an apprentice, if you want to stand up for your master, do you want to put him on the shelf and destroy him?" Luo Changying asked.

"I don't dare!" Xu Lingfeng kowtowed again and again, bleeding from his forehead.

Seeing this, Luo Changying couldn't bear it, and said, "Get up. I'll just pretend that you just said something stupid."

Xu Lingfeng didn't get up, looked straight at Luo Changying, and said with a sad face: "Master, you don't know that Junior Brother Ziqian was killed in front of me, and he was still talking to me before his head fell off... ...This scene, I will never forget this scene! If my thoughts cannot be understood, I am afraid that it will be difficult for me to break through the upper three realms in this life."

Luo Changying was silent for a while, and said: "Before you came back, there was a message from our valley about your junior brother's stay in Wutong Academy. But the specifics were not explained clearly, and I don't know very well. You can explain it carefully now." Tell me about the situation."

Xu Lingfeng thought about it for a while, and felt a little dazed. After he calmed down, he told the story, and finally said in an unbelievable tone: "Master, that knife is almost here... the disciple can't see it with the naked eye, but Junior Brother Ziqian... It’s gone! In the past few days, as soon as I close my eyes, the flash of the knife will appear, as if it is about to cut at my neck!"

After Luo Changying heard it, she said in a low voice: "Slaying the Sky and Pulling the Sword Technique? What a big tone! I have never heard or seen this sword technique in Liangzhou. Is it really so fast?"

Xu Lingfeng bowed his head and said in panic: "Junior Brother Ziqian talked for a long time after he learned the truth, and when he turned his head...the head just fell off. He...he even saw his own head fall!"

Luo Changying took a breath, and said: "I once fought against a person who is good at fast swords in Jingzhou, and he often eliminated the opponent with a single sword before he could react. But, as you said Having said that, he broke his neck and talked for a long time, but I have never heard of it in my life. Is this knife so terrifying?"

Xu Lingfeng was covered in sweat, and said: "The disciple will never forget that knife again."

"You're possessed!" Luo Changying glanced at him with a solemn expression, "It seems that his knife has become your demon, and you can't get rid of it with your own hands. Your cultivation base will hardly improve in this life. Injustice ah!"

"Master, the disciple is incompetent!"

"That's all!" Luo Changying sighed, stood up slowly, looked at the eastern sky, and continued as if she made up her mind, "If you want to trouble him, a man from the yamen, there is actually a way. Do it as a disciple of Luoshen Valley."

"What way?" Xu Lingfeng asked happily.

"Xunwu Ling!" Luo Changying said three words slowly.

…………

"Xunwu Ling? What is this thing?!"

Three days later, Chu Tang asked in surprise when facing a piece of paper with strange words written on it brought by Shen Zuo, governor of Liangzhou.

Shen Zuo's face was serious, and he said bitterly: "This is a challenge that neither you nor I can refuse!"
