This is Jianghu

Chapter 4 Excalibur Asks the Sky
The sword's momentum is like the momentum of a person, invisible and insubstantial, but it does exist.Sword momentum coexists with sword technique, sword, and swordsman. A set of superb sword technique, a precious sword, and an excellent swordsman can all exude sword momentum.The so-called "Practice the sword for three years to gain its form and ten years to gain its power" roughly means that a swordsman can only be regarded as an entry-level when he has learned the moves, and he can only be regarded as entering the room when he has practiced the sword one day.

The man in white didn't feel anything about the mocking words of the woman from Juli, but was puzzled in his heart. While sizing her up intently, he thought to himself: I have retired from the world for nearly 20 years, and yet someone still recognizes my hand. The soul-severing knife, where did this woman come from? Could it be the descendant of the enemy?Thinking of this, the white-clothed man couldn't help raising his breath and becoming alert

Seeing the guarded look on the white-clothed man's face, the beautiful woman burst out laughing for a moment, and said, "That's all, little girl dare not joke with you anymore, lest I take a knife from you."

The man in white was puzzled and asked, "Who are you?"

The woman said solemnly: "My brother and you are old acquaintances. The girl always hears about your deeds when she is at home, so she recognizes you and this soul-breaking sword."

The man in white saw that the woman was only in her early twenties, and his elder brother would not be much older than him.I haven't been around the rivers and lakes for nearly 20 years, how could I be an old acquaintance with her brother.When the man in white was thinking about it, his heart suddenly moved, and the image of a young man appeared in his mind, the little swordsman who had fought with him hundreds of moves 20 years ago, and followed behind him with a mouthful of "Brother Sword" The stunned guy who screamed.The man in white looked at the woman again, and the outline on her face was vaguely familiar. After all, nearly 20 years had passed, and he wasn't sure if it was true, so he asked, "What's your surname?"

The woman smiled slightly and said: "The little girl's surname is Li, and her brother's name is Ziren."

As soon as the white-clothed man heard the name, he knew it was the guy he was thinking of, so he dropped his guard. He was in a good mood and laughed loudly: "Hahaha~ That's how it is!"

The woman bowed slightly and saluted, and said: "Little sister Li Qingyi has met Brother Dao, just now the younger sister was playing tricks on Brother Dao for a while, I hope Brother will not be offended."

This white-clothed man turned out to be the soul-breaking knife that moved the world 20 years ago - Dao Duan Hun. Back then, his soul-breaking knife made people in the underworld frightened when they heard about it.Few people know Dao Duan Hun's mastery and sect, and Dao Duan Hun himself did not mention it to outsiders. People in the Jianghu only know that he is extremely skilled in swordsmanship. And go, no one under the gate of Huashan dares to stop.Not only underworld figures were killed by Dao Duan Hun Dao, but also many decent and famous masters. In the eyes of Jianghu people, Dao Duan Hun is a guy who is both good and evil, as if he just kills people according to his own preferences.Just 20 years ago, this "Soul Breaking Knife" suddenly disappeared in the Jianghu, and no one heard about him again.At that time, people speculated, some said that the Huashan faction went to the top of Huashan to invite their elder Taishang who had retired for many years to capture Dao Duanhun and imprison him at the top of Huashan, and some said that Dao Duanhun fell in love with a Jiangnan woman. Escape overseas with her and so on.For a time, there were different opinions and no consensus.

Daoduanhun waved his hand to Li Qingyi, and said with a smile: "Sister, you don't need to be too polite, what you heard from Xiao Lizi is that I am a stingy person?"

Li Qingyi also smiled and said: "My eldest brother said that Brother Dao is a rare hero in the world. He specializes in accomplishing great things and never sticks to trivial matters. Naturally, he is not a narrow-minded person." The soul is indeed very useful.This kind of flattery is also a very particular knowledge. Those who love vanity will not refuse flattery, and those who want to kill their souls, if another person who is not familiar with him said this, it is estimated that he will photograph a tiger Head up.

The two met here to reminisce about their past, Zhang Liheng, who was left alone, stared blankly for a long time.However, in Zhang Liheng's opinion, it was a good thing that Dao Duan Hun and the beautiful sister named Li Qingyi knew each other before, so that the two of them would not have to fight again, and he was finally relieved.

Dao Duan Hun and Li Qingyi were chatting before remembering that there was Zhang Liheng next to him who was extremely exquisite in swordsmanship but had no internal strength, and the two couldn't help but look at Zhang Liheng at the same time.

Zhang Liheng felt a little unnatural when the two looked at him, so he asked, "You...why are you looking at me?"

When he said this, Li Qingyi, a woman who had not yet left the cabinet, couldn't help but blush for a while, but it was only for a moment.Dao Duan Hun spoke first: "This Zhang Amao... um... little brother Zhang Liheng, right? I, Dao, lost in the competition just now!"

Zhang Liheng finally heard that someone remembered his name as "Zhang Liheng" instead of "Zhang Amao". He smiled excitedly, then felt inappropriate, shook his head and said, "No, you didn't lose. You are very good. I beat you!" But yours!"

After Dao Duan Hun heard it, he just laughed it off, he was not a person who couldn't afford to lose, and he already knew the outcome in his heart.What Dao Duanhun didn't understand was that Zhang Liheng's nine-style swordsmanship was incomparably exquisite, but why he didn't have a trace of inner strength. Could it be that his master didn't teach him inner strength and mentality?But if this sword technique is used on the basis of internal strength, the power will be more than tens of millions.

Dao Duan Hun couldn't figure it out, but he couldn't open his mouth to ask, so he just frowned.Seeing Dao Duan Hun like this, Li Qingyi understood what he was thinking, and he was really shocked. The swordsmanship used by the young man in front of him faintly surpassed his family's swordsmanship in terms of moves.

Li Qingyi saw that Dao Duan Hun was not easy to speak, so he said to Zhang Liheng: "Little brother Zhang, you really won the competition between you and this big brother just now."

Seeing this beautiful sister looking at him with beautiful eyes, Zhang Liheng was in a state of mind. When he came to his senses, he didn't know what to say, and said vaguely, "Oh? Oh! Really? I won? It's good." ah."

Seeing Zhang Liheng's stupid look, Li Qingyi couldn't help laughing, and said with a smile: "Yes, but I don't know where you learned your sword skills, little brother?" After a pause, he added: " It doesn't matter if you don't want to say it, little brother, I'm just curious."

Li Qingyi's smile made Zhang Liheng feel that he had lost his composure. He scratched the back of his head and said, "It's not a secret, I'm just afraid of my sister and this... hero?" Seeing this, Duan Hun smiled and said, "You can call me Big Brother just like Qing Yi's sister."

Zhang Liheng continued: "Sister and elder brother don't make jokes after hearing this", and then told the two of them exactly how he learned the sword from the sword pattern and the family-heired sword.

In Jianghu, such things as family traditions have always been kept secret, so as not to cause accidents.Zhang Liheng had a simple thought in his heart, thinking that this was not something important, and at the same time, he also felt that the elder brother and sister in front of him were not bad people, so it would be alright to tell them.

Zhang Liheng thought this way in his heart, but Dao Duan Hun and Li Qingyi's hearts were already turbulent after hearing this.Li Qingyi hurriedly said to Zhang Liheng: "Little brother, don't tell others easily in the future!" Seeing Li Qingyi's so cautious, Zhang Liheng couldn't help but secretly startled, and asked cautiously: "I Could the sword be some kind of treasure?"

Seeing Zhang Liheng's ignorant expression, Li Qingyi didn't realize that he was too naive to know the dangers of the world.If these exquisite sword moves on Zhang Liheng's body and that sword that was a level higher than the Soul Breaking Knife were placed in the rivers and lakes, there would be another bloody storm.Looking at the Liu family in the south of the Yangtze River and the Li family in Wuli Mountain Villa in the past few years, you can know that group after group of masters are spying on the "world's best martial arts" and "the world's best swordsmanship". The strength of the two families, the Liu family and the Li family have long since ceased to exist.

Li Qingyi sighed secretly, suddenly seemed to think of something, and then asked Zhang Liheng: "Little brother, is there a small gap on the hilt of this precious sword of yours?"

After Zhang Liheng heard this, he said "Eh?", and then said, "There is indeed a small piece missing from the hilt. Sister, have you seen this sword before?" How could Li Qingyi have seen it in his own hands, and even his deceased grandfather might not know about this gap.It was a small gap a few minutes long on the hilt of the sword. If you didn't look carefully, you would not find this small flaw, and mistakenly thought it was the pattern on the hilt.In fact, Zhang Liheng felt that the lines on the hilt of the sword were not smooth at first glance, but after a closer inspection, it turned out that a small piece was missing, and this gap cut off the lines.Zhang Liheng wondered how Li Qingyi knew.

Li Qingyi became a little uneasy after hearing Zhang Liheng's affirmative answer, took a deep breath, and then asked, "Is the gap an arc of one and a half inches?"

This time Zhang Liheng really had to believe that Li Qingyi had seen this sword before, he asked tentatively: "Sister, has she really seen this sword?"

Dao Duan Hun is not like Zhang Liheng. Looking at Li Qingyi's appearance, she knew that she knew Zhang Liheng's tattered-looking sword. She was also curious in her heart, so she asked, "What does my sister know about this sword?"

The exquisite swordsmanship that Zhang Liheng used against Dao Duanhun just now made Li Qingyi terrified. After confirming the origin of Zhang Liheng's sword, she was completely shocked.

After Dao Duan Hun asked Li Qingyi to wake up, he didn't know where to start, so he said to Dao Duan Hun: "Brother Dao, you know about our Li family, right?"

"En!" Daoduanhun nodded and said, "Xiao Lizi told me back then that he was from the Li family in Wuli Mountain Villa. I hadn't heard of it at the time, but in the past few years your family's "Invincible Qiushui swordsmanship" has spread all over the world." Jiang Hu, how could he not know, no wonder he was already so powerful back then."

This Li Qingyi, who is superb in lightness skills and beautiful in appearance, is actually from the Li family of Wuli Mountain Villa in Southwest China!Coupled with the fact that the "Breaking Soul Crazy Knife" Dao Duan Hun was already famous 20 years ago, I don't know how Zhang Liheng will feel when he knows the fame of the two of them.

After Daoduanhunda said this, he paused and asked, "What? Is your family related to this precious sword?"

Li Qingyi smiled wryly, and said: "Brother, please don't make fun of me anymore. Those who say "the Qiushui swordsmanship is invincible" are all spread by those uneasy and kind people. My family's Qiushui swordsmanship is indeed a superior swordsmanship. But it is by no means invincible, a hundred and fifty years ago, my ancestors were completely defeated by the sword of one person."

This time Dao Duan Hun was even more surprised. When I fought against Li Qingyi's eldest brother, I had learned the Qiushui sword technique, and I knew the advantages and disadvantages of it. It was a tie.

Duanhun sword technique was created by Dao Duanhun's ancestor Dao Bailang when he was in the East China Sea, observing the raging sea and stormy waves, and it has been passed down to the fifth generation.Dao Bailang has had few rivals in the Central Plains martial arts since his mastery of the soul-breaking sword. He is like a master of a generation in terms of sword skills, and is known as the "Four Wonders of Martial Arts" together with the other three top masters.Dao Duan Hun wasn't originally called that name, but his master saw that he was very talented in practicing swords, and that he had mastered the essence of Duan Hun's sword skills when he was a teenager, so he simply changed his name to Dao Duan Hun out of joy. I hope he can carry forward this knife technique.

Li Qingyi went on to say: "Brother Rendao who won the ancestors of my family back then, you must have heard of his name."

Dao Duan Hun asked: "Then who is this person?"

"A generation of geniuses, inexplicable!" Li Qingyi spit out these words slowly.

Dao Duan Hun took a deep breath and said: "It turned out to be him", and there was a look of fascination on his face.Then he asked again: "Could it be that this is the reason why Bai Xiaosheng Rongguo used to say "Second Inexplicable Sword"?"

Li Qingyi nodded and said: "Not many people know about this, but Mr. Rong Guo has some knowledge."

Zhang Liheng was still at a loss when he heard what each of them said.Dao Duanhun glanced at Zhang Liheng and his "broken sword" again, and then contacted Li Qingyi's words just now, his face suddenly showed an inconceivable expression, and asked Li Qingyi for proof: "Could it be that... this sword is... "

Li Qingyi nodded solemnly, and said, "The Wentian Sword of the inexplicable hero is almost inseparable!"

"It's actually Shenjian Wentian..." Dao Duanhun muttered, and then said: "Then the one who gave the sword to Zhang Xiaoxiong's ancestors must be the inexplicable hero himself." "Probably so," Li Qingyi agreed road.

Dao Duan Hun said to Zhang Liheng again: "Forgive Dao for taking the liberty, can brother Zhang take a look at it with the sword?"

Zhang Liheng saw that Dao Duan Hun was a bold man, not a treacherous person, and would never be greedy for his "heirloom sword", so he said: "Brother, you are welcome", and threw the sword at him.

After Dao Duan Hun received the sword, he held it carefully with both hands, and his eyes were full of awe when he saw it.It was the first time for Li Qingyi to see this precious sword, and she also leaned forward to watch it carefully.

After looking at it for a while, the two confirmed that it was undoubtedly the legendary sword, so they carefully returned it to Zhang Liheng.Dao Duan Hun first cupped his hands to Zhang Liheng and said: "Unexpectedly, I have the honor to fight against Mo Ming Jian today. It is a great blessing in life!"

Although Zhang Liheng didn't know the ins and outs of the Wentian Sword, he could guess from the attitudes of Dao Duan Hun and Li Qingyi that his "family heirloom sword" definitely had a great background.On the contrary, I relied on the power of the sword to fight against this martial arts master, and I was a little embarrassed about many things, so I saluted Dao Duanhun: "Brother Dao's martial arts is hundreds of times higher than that of the boy, and the boy is really ashamed of it."

Dao Duan Hun waved his hand and said, "Brother Zhang, don't underestimate yourself. If it weren't for your lack of internal strength foundation, I would have been unable to parry with the few sword moves just now."

Li Qingyi also said at this time: "Silly boy, at least you are also the heir of the inexplicable sword, so don't insult the reputation of a generation of arrogance."

Zhang Liheng: "..."

Seeing that he was still in a daze, Li Qingyi didn't want the inexplicable sword to fall away, and at the same time he liked this silly boy very much from the bottom of his heart, so he said: "Silly boy, if you don't dislike my sister's shallow martial arts, my sister has a very good internal skill here." It's suitable for you to practice."

Seeing Li Qingyi's beautiful eyes blinking, Zhang Liheng murmured: "The sister of the Li family always goes up and down when she comes here, so the martial arts are not superficial, it's just..."

Li Qingyi's eyes widened suddenly, and he said, "Where do all these nonsense come from! You call me sister, and I recognize you as a younger brother. You have to learn this skill!"

Dao Duan Hun didn't expect Li Qingyi to come here, but he understood Li Qingyi's good intentions. After all, the Li family has a lot of connections with Mo Mingjian.So he stepped forward and gave Zhang Liheng a nudge, smiled at him and said, "Don't make Miss Qingyi angry."

Zhang Liheng is a very smart person, otherwise, how could he have learned swordsmanship from Wentian Sword? At this moment, he also understood Li Qingyi's heart to pass on the art, so he gave Li Qingyi a junior gift, and said sincerely: "Thank you, sister!"

Only then did Li Qingyi put away her stern expression. She actually liked Zhang Liheng, a simple and innocent younger brother, and said happily, "That's right!"

Dao Duan Hun knew that Li Qingyi wanted to teach Zhang Liheng's internal skills, so he couldn't stand aside, so he said to the two of them: "I'll go hunt some wild animals to fill my stomach, and when you're done, go to the west and find me", and then left up the woods.

Li Qingyi actually didn't care that Dao Duan Hun was at the side, but it was not easy for Dao Duan Hun to avoid it on his own initiative.So I sat down on the floor with Zhang Liheng, and began to teach him a set of mental methods that the Li family got from Buddhism.It's not that Li Qingyi refused to teach Zhang Liheng the authentic Li family's internal energy, but that the inexplicable body practiced the supreme Buddhist internal energy back then. One of the two is more soft and the other is more rigid, so Li Qingyi thinks that the Buddhist mentality is more suitable for Zhang Liheng. practice.Moreover, the inner strength mental method taught by Li Qingyi is also a superior mental method, which she obtained by accident a few years ago.

Zhang Liheng is indeed very talented in martial arts. Li Qingyi only said the inner strength formula twice and he memorized it, and he only needed Li Qingyi to guide him once with his true energy to master the essentials. A simple explanation, this set of mental methods is basically handy.Seeing that he was learning so quickly, Li Qingyi also taught him the Li family's unique lightness kung fu.Zhang Liheng is indeed extremely intelligent, these two superior martial arts should be basically mastered within two hours, and the rest only needs to be his diligent practice.

Li Qingyi was incomparably at ease when he newly recognized Zhang Liheng, a younger brother with extremely high martial arts talent.After teaching Zhang Liheng martial arts, he thought that Dao Duan Hun had been waiting for a long time, and felt a little sorry, so he called Zhang Liheng to go to Dao Duan Hun together: "Get up, silly brother, Brother Dao has probably been waiting for a long time."

Facing Li Qingyi's loving eyes, Zhang Liheng's nose felt sore. Ever since his grandfather passed away, he hadn't seen such a family-like look for a long time.

Seeing that Zhang Liheng was a little strange, Li Qingyi thought it was because he was too tired from practicing just now, so he asked with concern: "What? Are you too tired?"

Zhang Liheng quickly shook his head, then stood up and smirked: "I'm not tired, maybe my legs are a little numb."

After finishing speaking, the two of them went to the west forest to Dao Duan Hun.
