No taboos in the world

Chapter 239: Heavenly Sword Song Que
Lingnan, Song family.

In his early years, Song Que ascended to the position of clan leader, rectified Lingnan, put down the rebellion of the barbarians, and united the heroes of the southern Liao, hoping to complete the great cause of conquering the north from the south.

At that time, the Sui Dynasty, under the leadership of Yang Jian, swept across the south, pacified various countries, and intended to unify the world.

The Sui Dynasty intended to invade Lingnan with an army of 100,000, while Song Que led 10,000 elite soldiers to fight against them. The two sides fought a decisive battle in Cangwu.

Song Que won ten battles in a row, so Yang Jian adopted a conciliatory policy and made Song Que a Duke.

Although Song Que accepted the title, he never attended court.

It can be said that in addition to being an expert in martial arts, Song Que is also an extremely outstanding military strategist.

"Since Song Que had such talent and cared about the world, why did he suddenly give up and fulfill Yang Jian's wish?" Xiao Longnu was quite puzzled.

Hong Chen laughed but did not answer. Instead, he looked at Wanwan who was standing beside him.

Wanwan giggled and said sarcastically, "This has to bring up Cihang Jingzhai, which is known as the leader of the righteous path in the Great Sui Dynasty."

Hearing this, Xiaolongnu looked at her curiously.

"Hehe, Sister Long, do you still remember that my brother-in-law said that Cihang Jingzhai's style of doing things is a bit weird."

Xiao Long Nu was probably used to Wan Wan's teasing address, so she seemed to ignore it and nodded calmly, "Yes."

"That Tiandao Song Que and the current head of Cihang Jingzhai, Fan Qinghui, actually had a relationship."

There was no lack of mockery and ridicule in Wanwan's tone.

Xiao Long Nu also frowned slightly when she heard this.

"Are they a couple?"

Wanwan smiled even more happily: "How is it possible? Cihang Jingzhai is a Buddhist inheritance, how can we get married?"

The furrows between Xiao Long Nu's brows deepened: "Then why did Song Que..."

"Oh, Sister Long, you are too naive. Men don't have to be obedient until you marry them. It's often the kind of things that are hard to get that make them most anxious."

Hearing this, Xiaolongnu couldn't help but look back at Hong Chen.

Hong Chen: Smile.

Wanwan continued, "When Song Que was in his twenties, he defeated Yue Shan, the then world-famous Tyrant Sword Master, and replaced him as the world's number one sword master, and was named 'Heavenly Sword Master'. Song Que has never been defeated since his debut, and in the past twenty years, no one has challenged him, which shows his talent.

Cihang Jingzhai cares about the world, so naturally they pay attention to such a hero. And for the sake of world peace and the well-being of the people, the disciples of Cihang Jingzhai are of course willing to sacrifice their lives to feed the demon.

If it weren't for Song Que, the Heaven Sword, being trapped in this corner of Lingnan, allowing the Great Sui Dynasty to unify the world smoothly, Fan Qinghui might not have been able to become the head of Cihang Jingzhai. Of course, she also has to thank the evil king of my demon sect for all this. If Bi Xiuxin hadn't passed away, how could she, Fan Qinghui, have made it to the top, let alone occupy a place in Song Que's heart. "

It seems to be boasting and praising, but in fact it is full of contempt.

Xiao Longnu is not someone who cannot tell right from wrong. Besides, anyone who sees this kind of thing will feel angry and amused.

After a moment of silence, Xiao Long Nu shook her head and said, "The name doesn't match the reality."

Wanwan was stunned: "What is Sister Long talking about?"

"Song Que."

"Uh... Sister Long, you can't say that carelessly, or you'll offend a lot of people. Although Song Que stopped because of love, his strength is unquestionable. Moreover, he has been practicing in the Song family's knife grinding hall for many years. Maybe he has already understood all this."

However, Xiaolongnu still shook her head.

"Heaven's ways are constant. They do not exist for the sake of Yao, nor do they perish for the sake of Jie. What Song Que did cannot be called Heaven's way."

Hong Chen then explained: "What she meant was that she recognized Song Que's strength, but she didn't think Song Que deserved the nickname of Heavenly Blade."

Wanwan was stunned for a moment and asked, "Do you think so too?"

"I guess so." Hong Chen looked at the sea of ​​clouds around him.

Xiao Long Nu added: "People often say that the will of heaven is like a knife, but a knife can never become heaven."

Hong Chen smiled when he heard this: "That's right. The highest level of Song Que's Heavenly Sword Skill is 'giving up nothing but the sword', but did he really give up everything except the sword? Not to mention the Song family, I'm afraid he didn't even give up Fan Qinghui.

Miss Long's Ancient Tomb Sect is adjacent to the Quanzhen Sect of Taoism, and can be considered a half-Taoist sect. Its understanding of the Way of Heaven is different from that of others. Others recognize Song Que's nickname of Heavenly Sword because his strength is strong enough, but for Taoists, it is ridiculous for a martial arts master to use Heaven as his nickname.

However, I don't think Tian Dao would have the idea of ​​replacing heaven with himself. It's just that as an extremely pure swordsman, he has talents, ideas and wishes that far exceed other swordsmen in the world, which is understandable."

After listening to this, Xiaolongnu nodded slightly.

Wanwan asked curiously, "What about you, brother-in-law? What do you think?"

"I?"

Hong Chen smiled and said, "That depends on whether he can beat me. If he wins, let alone his nickname Heavenly Sword, even if he changes his name to Jade Emperor, I won't care. But if he loses, then in my eyes, he is just a defeated general."

As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his head and looked down at the village nestled between the mountains.

"Are you right, Song Que?"

Upon hearing this, Xiaolongnu and Wanwan, who were standing nearby, suddenly looked at each other.

The next moment, a ray of sword light was seen rising from the ground like a silk thread, growing longer in the wind. Soon it was more than ten feet long, its edge was fierce and its momentum was like the ocean.

Xiao Longnu was about to take action, but Hong Chen said, "No rush." ​​She calmed down when she heard that and watched coldly.

The knife flashed closer in the blink of an eye, and was about to hit Garuda.

Suddenly, the light and shadow in the clear void distorted, as if an invisible giant beast suddenly opened its bloody mouth, and the sword light instantly disappeared in the air.

"Go down!" Hong Chen patted Garuda.

As the altitude dropped rapidly, we saw that an old bluestone house in the villa was already full of people. They were all members of the Song family, and there was only a middle-aged man standing in front of the house.

His hair is a mixture of gray and white, and his facial features and wrinkles are as if they were carved by a knife and an axe. He can be described as a handsome middle-aged man.

Although he was only wearing a coarse linen shirt, his straight back still gave off an extraordinary aura, not to mention that his aura of unity between man and nature was unrivaled in the world.

Garuda's huge body landed on the bluestone roof.

Xiao Longnu grabbed Wan Wan's hand and took her to the side, while Hong Chen went straight to Song Que.

After just one look, he couldn't help but shake his head.

"I used to think that even if Tian Dao Song Que was not a powerful figure who dominated the world, he should at least be an extraordinary overlord of Lingnan. But now it seems that he is just like a stray dog ​​that is struggling to survive."

This is of course not entirely true, but it is at least 30% to 40% true.

Song Que remained calm, but the Song family members standing next to him frowned and were extremely indignant.

But thinking of Hong Chen's identity and strength, as well as the news that had just reached Lingnan, they did not dare to scold him to his face.

After all, they could kill Yang Guang openly, not to mention the deaths of Emperor Song and Emperor Yuan before them. Naturally, their lives would not be more noble than those of these three people.

Besides, let’s put aside blood ties.

They felt that there was not much wrong with what Hong Chen said.

If this could inspire the clan leader Song Que to regroup and walk out of the Modao Hall, it would be a huge surprise for the Song clan.

however.

Song Que remained calm and saluted with the knife in hand.

"I am Song Que, a junior. I have heard about your deeds and have longed for you. I wanted to pay you a visit, but I didn't expect you to come to my humble home. This is really an honor for the Song family."

Hearing this, Hong Chen stopped mocking him and nodded slightly, then asked, "How long has it been?"

"Almost ten years."

"Ten years ago, but like today?"

Song Que paused and said, "Today is almost like yesterday. It has been like this every day for the past ten years."

"Why don't you go out for a walk?"

"I can't leave. I can't leave."

Hong Chen frowned: "If you continue like this, you'll be ruined."

Hearing this, Song Que's calm face suddenly forced out an awkward smile.

"The senior is here, I can't be useless."

Suddenly, Hong Chen laughed: "Your martial arts should be one of your least impressive talents."

"Senior, you are joking. If I didn't have this martial arts skill, I wouldn't have such a great reputation. If I didn't have this reputation, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to meet you in this lifetime."

Hong Chen tilted his head: "Is this considered flattery?"

"If you think so, then that's it."

"You actually have the talent to be a traitor. How scary."

Immediately, the two looked at each other and burst into laughter at the same time.

They communicated like they were playing charades, and only a handful of people could understand them.

However, Song Que's laughter made the Song family overjoyed, and some even cried for joy.

They had forgotten how many years it had been since they had seen Song Que display such direct emotional fluctuations.

On the other side, Wanwan held Xiaolongnu's hand.

"Sister Long, what are they talking about?"

Xiao Long Nu looked at Song Que with a slightly serious look in her eyes: "What Hong Chen said just now is true. Song Que is indeed a very powerful and ambitious swordsman. I underestimated him."

"what?"

"The plaque says Sharpening Hall. He has probably been sharpening knives here for more than 20 years."

Wanwan nodded: "Yes, Song Que has indeed not been out for more than 20 years."

"He is not only sharpening the knife, but also his own heart. But a knife cannot be sharpened all the time. If it is sharpened too much, it will break more easily. The same is true for people."

Wanwan blinked and nodded slightly.

"I...seem to understand."

She has just entered the realm of Grandmaster and is still a long way from becoming a Grandmaster.

Otherwise, why would she call Xiaolongnu, who is younger than her, "sister"?
Along the way, Xiaolongnu explained a lot of her confusions and taught her martial arts. Wanwan did not suffer any loss and even made a lot of money.

Song Que extended his hand and said, "Senior, you have come from afar. I have prepared a banquet to welcome you. Please do me the honor."

Unexpectedly, Hong Chen shook his head.

"There's no rush for the banquet. I see you can't hold back any longer. Come on, it'll be the same if you eat after the fight."

Hearing this, Song Que's eyes lit up, "Senior is really quick-witted, then I am being rude."

"Don't be rude. If you can be rude, that's your ability." Hong Chen said with a smile.

Song Que couldn't help but curl his lips.

But after a short moment, he suddenly drew his knife.

Its momentum was as fast as lightning and thunder, and it broke through the air leisurely in an instant. There was not a single trace of artificiality in its moves, and it seemed completely natural from beginning to end.

The blade came towards him in an instant. In Song Que's eyes, the empty momentum of the blade suddenly stagnated, and then he saw the sword body covered with diamond patterns.

"What a fast sword!"

"Your knife isn't slow either."

Song Que wanted to smile modestly, but the next second, he saw Hong Chen's hands hanging naturally at his sides, and Tian Wen actually flew up out of thin air, blocking his swordsmanship without anyone in control, making it difficult for him to advance an inch. He suddenly couldn't smile anymore.
