The Heroes of Gulong: Great Chefs from Past to Present

Chapter 819: Sword and Killing

In the western suburbs of Beijing, the leaves of Xiangshan Mountain are red.

On the mountain path, Lu Xiaofeng and Xue Bing looked at each other with deep affection.

Not far from them, there stood two people with similar auras.

Both of them were dressed in white and held a sword in their hands.

A man stood alone on the edge of the cliff.

The Saint of Swords, Ye Gucheng.

Another person was walking among the red leaves.

The god of swords, Ximen Chuxue.

While Lu Xiaofeng was looking at Xue Bing, he was listening to the noise not far away.

The emperor abdicated, the court was dissolved, and then the Shenlong Gang took over various departments of the court.

After finally getting the court affairs in order, Li Chaofeng's first order made Lu Xiaofeng as confused as an ox.

He wants to hold a martial arts examination, and anyone can participate as long as they have a clean reputation.

For a time, the capital was full of people from the underworld.

To be honest, Lu Xiaofeng hated Li Chaofeng's attitude of doing whatever he wanted.

But at this moment, he could not leave Kyoto, this place of trouble.

Mind your own business only for the sake of world peace.

Although Li Chaofeng did not ask him to do any work, Lu Xiaofeng still stayed in the capital.

Then he met Ximen Chuxue.

At the same time, he also learned that Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng had made an appointment to meet in Xiangshan to compete in kendo.

There are many titles in the world that sound very impressive.

Some third-rate characters, as long as they are shameless enough, can add a title in front of their own name that is enough to scare everyone to death.

But this kind of name will never be remembered by the world, and will not even be spread.

But Ximen Chuxue never said that he was the God of Sword.

Similarly, Ye Gucheng did not say that he was the Saint of Swords.

Both of them were famous for their swordsmanship, but they had never met each other.

They had just met and they had already seen each other's feelings.
They are the same kind.

They are all swordsmen who are eager to reach the end of the sword path.

Ye Gucheng stood on the edge of the cliff, gazing at the capital city from afar, his sleeves fluttering in the mountain breeze, making him look like a fairy.

As he turned his gaze back, he also asked Ximen Chuxue, who was dressed in frosty white behind him.

"What are you doing in the capital?"

Ximen Chuxue paced and looked at the red leaves all over the mountain.

His entire aura has completely blended into the mountains and forests.

Hearing Ye Gucheng's question, he answered directly.

"I came to the capital only to test the sword."

Ye Gucheng watched several red leaves drifting away from Ximen Chuxue's shoulders, but he quickly missed them.
It was as if Ximen Chuxue had never existed.

With a look of emotion in his eyes, Ye Gucheng spoke in an affirmative tone.

"Your sword is not in the mountains and rivers, or even in the martial arts world, so why bother yourself with troubles?"

Ximen Chuixue stopped and said coldly: "You have seen my sword, but I haven't seen your sword yet."

Ye Gucheng said proudly: "Your sword is in the world, my sword is in people's hearts."

Ximen Chuixue frowned: "The difference between heaven and man?"

Ye Gucheng smiled: "There is no difference between the two."

"The world is changeable, and human hearts are unpredictable. As long as there is change, it is the same destination."

Ximen Chuixue said coldly: "So, you are here to test the sword as well."

Ye Gucheng said: "Not stained by dust, and the heart is free of worries."

"It is impossible to reach a state of purity and freedom from attachments."

Ximen Chuixue: "If you want to put it down, you must first pick it up, so you are here."

Ye Gucheng said with admiration: "I want to know if I can really let go after being tainted by power."

"It's a pity that power is something that no one is willing to share with others."

"Except Li Chaofeng"

“He has a big heart and a lot of courage.”

Hearing Li Chaofeng, Ximen Chuxue's eyes dimmed and said, "He just doesn't care."

Ye Gucheng: "Yes, he has been able to let it go."

"But I'm not sure if I can be like him, taking and putting away as I please."

Ximen Chuixue frowned: "How long will it take?"

Ye Gucheng thought for a moment and shook his head silently: "I don't know."

"Maybe faster than you, maybe slower than you, maybe... there is no hope in this life."

Ximen Chuixue's sword came from heaven and earth. As long as he practiced sword diligently, it seemed that he would be able to achieve enlightenment one day.

Ximen Chuxue needs an equally matched opponent to verify whether he is on the right track.

Is it the world that is more unpredictable, or is it the human heart that is more unpredictable?
It’s too early to say now.

After understanding Ye Gucheng's thoughts, Ximen Chuxue also nodded.

"I understand."

After finishing speaking, Ximen Chuxue asked again.

"How about the Fifteen Deadly Swords?"

Ye Gucheng blinked, but shook his head and advised.

"The Fifteen Deadly Swords is the end of the killing path. I am no match for it."

"But it's of no use to someone like me."

The Fifteen Deadly Swords are performed with swords.

It looks like the way of swords, but it is actually the way of killing.

The end point of the way of killing is life and death, as well as victory and defeat.

To defeat the weak with the strong is to kill.

Taking advantage of one's power to bully others will result in death.

Taking someone by surprise is also killing.

As long as they can kill the enemy, people in the killing path will use any means necessary.

For those who follow the path of killing, making oneself stronger and making the enemy weaker are the same thing.

But Kendo is all about making yourself stronger
People who practice kendo never care whether their enemies are strong or weak.

In fact, the stronger the enemy, the more excited the kendo practitioner will be.

Because in kendo, what one pursues is always one's own strength.

Winning is never the end of kendo.

Ximen Chuixue: "Thank you very much."

Ye Gucheng: "It's okay."

Ximen Chuxue began to walk towards Lu Xiaofeng. Ye Gucheng watched him leave quietly, and looked towards the city wall in the distance again.
He came to the capital to take part in the martial arts examination, but his ultimate goal was only to perfect his kendo skills.

He will take up power and eventually put it down.

Ximen Chuixue came here to challenge the world's best
Ye Gucheng is the first person Ximen Chuxue wants to challenge, but he is never the last.

And the last person, Ye Gucheng also guessed
Ximen Chuxue stood in front of Lu Xiaofeng and said in a cold tone.

"Lu Xiaofeng, you should be able to help me find Li Chaofeng, right?"

Lu Xiaofeng had been worried that Ximen Chuxue and Ye Gucheng would fight, but he was relieved to find that the two just had a conversation and then separated.

When he heard Ximen Chuxue mention Li Chaofeng, Lu Xiaofeng instantly recalled Li Chaofeng's devilish posture of rampaging in the Forbidden City, and even Xiao Li's magic sword could not hurt him at all, and he grinned.

"Ximen Li Chaofeng's body is no longer human."

"If you go and fight him, it will probably be of no use to your sword skills."

Ximen Chuixue: "Li Chaofeng defeated me with his swordsmanship."

“So, I want to challenge him again.”

Lu Xiaofeng: "You will lose."

Ximen Chuixue: "I never worry about losing to anyone. I only worry about myself standing still because of the fear in my heart."

Lu Xiaofeng thought about it and shook his head.

"At this moment, Li Chaofeng may not be willing to fight with you."

Ximen Chuixue: "He won't die. I'm not afraid of losing. There is no risk in this battle."

Lu Xiaofeng sighed: "Okay, I'll try, but Li Chaofeng is so busy, I'm afraid it won't be easy to see him."

Ximen Chuixue nodded: "I'll wait for him. I hope he won't make me wait too long."
