Chapter 269 Gambling

"It's so bold!"

Hong Qianqiu strengthened his tone again and repeated.Yu Ci squinted his eyes and listened to his narration, feeling quite atmospheric: On a lonely mountain peak, a half-drunk man gave advice, his thick voice seemed to be able to penetrate a distance of 2 years, the only pity was that the man spoke There is quite a bit of irony in it:

"Eight thousand sword cultivators, the soaring sword light turned into a flying rainbow, spanning a long distance of thousands of miles, what was the result? None of the people who fled back to the east bank of the Rift Valley survived. Even among these hundreds of people, most of them had no face to return to the east, so they stayed in the Broken Boundary Mountains and asked our sect for a piece of land, where they were confined to death close……"

"Hey, don't be so mean!"

Li You slammed the sprinkle pot in his hand, his face full of displeasure: "What do you mean by fleeing back, and what do you mean by returning to the east without a face? On an expedition to the boundless Buddhist kingdom, with eight thousand swordsmanship against hundreds of millions of Buddhist soldiers, in a bloody battle for a hundred days, the colored glaze The pure land was turned into Avici Hell. In the end, if it wasn't for the Buddhist gamble on luck, at the cost of thirteen ancient Buddhas returning to nirvana, breaking the "six reincarnations", deriving three thousand worlds, and driving seventeen sword immortals into the world. Land of Eternal Fall...Can they win?

"Even if you are defeated, only one senior from the original way, holding the black and yellow killing sword, and changing all directions, all the gods, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and arhats will not move forward. It can be said that it is an honor to be defeated!"

Hong Qianqiu snorted heavily: "Shortly after Yuan Dao returned east, he was killed by a demon. How do you explain it?"

"that is because……"

"Uh, two senior brothers!"

Seeing that Hong and Li Er were about to quarrel because of the ancients from 2 years ago, Yu Ci had no choice but to interrupt their argument, scratching his head and asking, "Is the place where those sword cultivators retreat and are buried is the Sword Garden?"

Both Hong and Li gave each other a hard look, and finally Hong Qianqiu replied: "Almost, these people were all injured during the Western Expedition, and they were so aggrieved that they had no interest in life. Died. The Zongmen sympathized with what happened to him, and did not take back the land, but just repaired it a little, and built a cemetery for people to pay homage to. Of course, it is not an ordinary cemetery."

Li You continued Hong Qianqiu's words: "You have to know that when the eight thousand sword cultivators marched to the west, they almost exhausted the elite of the eastern practice world. There were nearly fifty of the nineteen top sword immortals and robbery masters. There are hundreds of virtual monks, and in the next 2 years, the practice world will no longer be able to organize such a large team. Even if the Western Expedition is unfavorable, those who retreat to the east bank and are buried in the Sword Garden, there are also two swordsmen. Immortal, there are fifteen masters of robbery, real people, and monks of Buxu. The legacy of these seniors, hey, must be extremely amazing..."

Yu Ci enlightened: "Stealing graves and digging graves!"

With a "poof", Hong Qianqiu sprayed Li You who was opposite him all over his face, he definitely did it on purpose, otherwise how could he express his hilarious mood?

Li You reacted strangely, just wiped off the wine stains expressionlessly, and continued to talk to Yu Ci: "Junior Brother Yu, the Sword Garden is not as simple as you imagined. As for what's going on inside, wait a minute...Old Hong, your mother Die!"

As soon as he spoke, Li You drew his sword and slashed. The sword surged like a wave, tearing the soft moonlight that filled the sky into pieces in a blink of an eye.Hong Qianqiu's fire eyes lit up, as if a fire had been ignited, he laughed and said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Facing the sword's momentum, he didn't retreat half a step, and there was a buzzing black light outside his body, which was excited with the sword energy, and the burst of air wave traveled hundreds of feet away.At this moment, his strong body nine feet away seemed to swell again, and when he opened his hand, there was a black tide, with the sound of a tsunami, overwhelming the sky and overwhelming the earth.

In the very center of the confrontation between the two, Yu Ci flipped over neatly, avoiding ten feet away, and the hurricane that was stirring in the center of the battle circle came straight to him.The watering pot on the ground over there was blown directly to the outside of the cliff.Yu Ci knew that this place couldn't be kept!

"Senior Brother Li, I'll wait for you at Senior Sister Meng's place."

"Go, go, I've dealt with Lao Hong..."

Hong Qianqiu couldn't allow him to continue speaking, a round of fierce attack forced the second half of his words back into his stomach.Li You was so angry that he launched his sword tit for tat, and half of the mountain peak was illuminated by his sword light.

Yu Ci smiled dumbly, ignored the two of them, and went down the peak on his own.When he got off the peak, the night sky suddenly lit up, and when he looked back, the two had already flown up into the sky, and under the bright moon, they were swaying, punching and fighting to their heart's content.

Under the slanting sunset, Yu Ci walked alone.Suddenly heard a call:

"The one in front is Yu Ci!"

"Exactly."

"I heard you said that the number of sword sacrifice cards is numbered. Today I will compete with you to win the card!"

Yu Ci paused and looked back.Ever since reaching the sky peak and winning the medal that day, Yu Ci's life has suddenly become busy.Especially after the news spread that he had a "Sword Sacrifice Card" in his hand, there was an endless stream of colleagues from the Demonstration Department who wanted to compete with swords to win the card.

These monks are male and female, old and young, the only thing in common is that they all use swords, or fight in close quarters, or cut through the air with flying swords, and each of them has impressive attainments.

This is exactly the rule of the Demonstration Department: Those who want to participate in the grand festival of the Sword Garden must have a cultivation level above the upper level of Tongshen and below the level of Buxu, and they must have practiced swords for many years and have certain attainments.In addition, there must be at least one sword sacrifice card in hand, and the total number of cards issued is ten.And there are more than 200 monks in the Demonstration Department who meet this requirement!

The fierce competition can be seen.

According to the rules, if someone challenges him, he is not allowed to refuse without a good reason.Yu Ci didn't even think about refusing, and was about to agree, but someone next to him complained: "Hey, brother, it's not enough to bully the small with the big, do you want to fight with wheels? When did our empirical department fail to reach this level? "

"What do you mean!"

Passers-by saw that the challenger was really puzzled, so they also laughed: "You are ignorant, junior brother. Didn't you hear that senior brother Zhang Yanzhang had issued a letter of war to junior brother Yu the day before yesterday, and he wanted to use the sword sacrifice card as a pledge for a gamble?" In the competition, the winner will be determined by the sword, counting the time, it will be tonight!"

"Senior brother Zhang Yan? Bad gambling Zhang?"

The reckless challenger was a little dazed: "No, wouldn't that be bullying the small with the big?"

No wonder the challengers were surprised.You know, in the Demonstration Department, although Senior Brother Zhang Yan is not as dazzling as the four Zhou Yu, Li Hong, Wang Jiu, and Hong Qianqiu, he is not as talented as Li You, who is less advanced, and he even has a good gambler all over his body. Faulty, so that the cultivation base has stagnated for many years.But no matter what, that one is still the Cardinal Dingding, the dignified alchemy cultivator, he is a well-deserved senior brother, how could he not care about his face to compare his sword skills with Yu Ci, an outside disciple?

You must know that there are about 40 Huandan cultivators in the Demonstration Department, and only 15 of them practice swords. Among these 15 people, there are three generations of disciples like Yu Zhou. That is to say, a few disciples of the fourth generation, who are full of money, but there are no more than five of them.Of the ten sword sacrificial cards, five must have been specially prepared for them, and Zhang Yan was one of them.

In this way, this person should have no desires or demands, but he is serious with a disciple in the outer room, isn't it a shame?

"That's why. Junior brother Yu is just about to recharge his energy, why are you just joining in the fun?"

The reckless challenger did have face, so he had no choice but to leave despondently. Yu Ci smiled slightly, thanking the senior brother who fought for him, but the senior brother grinned and slapped him on the shoulder: "It's a bad idea!" Gambling Zhang is not pleasing to the eye, I will put a catty of black iron on your body, and it will be a lonely bet, junior brother needs help!"

Yu Ci was speechless.

In fact, even he didn't know why that not-so-famous brother Zhang Yan picked him.But the sword garden grand meeting is coming soon, Yu Ci is not likely to miss this opportunity no matter what.

That night, Li You and Hong Qianqiu were busy fighting, and only talked about one thing, but Yu Ci turned around and asked Meng Wei, and finally figured out the ins and outs of the matter.

The so-called "Sword Garden" meeting, in its original sense, should be to enter the sword garden, the burial place of the predecessors, on a specific day, to sacrifice and sweep to show respect.However, under the long-term evolution of tens of thousands of years, its meaning has changed greatly, and it has become a grand meeting for all sword cultivators, or to expand the scope, that is, all sword cultivators looking for opportunities.

In the sword garden, not only the bones of the predecessors are buried, but also hundreds of sword scriptures with different styles and high quality, which have long since become ownerless.Moreover, according to the legend, in that gloomy cemetery, there are still the remaining thoughts of those great supernatural beings, who turned into immortal elves, wandering in it, once touched, there will be hundreds of thousands of years of accumulated swordsmanship The incorporation of wonderful enlightenment into oneself can save a hundred years of cultivation.

Such a temptation, as long as it is committed to the practice of swordsmanship, who can refuse?

Even people like Yu Ci who don't pay much attention to foreign objects are also very yearning for them.

Mengwei's summary is very precise: It depends on one's status in the sect, approval of elders, and good or bad conduct, all of which can be clearly seen at the Xiao Han Zhang Fa Conference; , it must be a grand event in the Sword Garden.

How could Yu Ci miss such a wonderful scene?
