Prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 1048 Mad Swordsman

Bai Zixuan smiled and said: "Li Xiuqing, a famous scholar in the Tang Dynasty, praised this water as the fifth spring in the world, but he didn't know that this water was the most suitable for tempering swords. It was the place where ancient swordsmen tempered their swords, and the name of this sword pool was passed down nearly a hundred years ago. The sword master Pei Min came here to set up the name, but the word "Jianchi" is really well-deserved. Because the predecessor Pei Min named it Jianchi, but it is not without reason. According to legend, Wu Wang Helu The tomb is under this sword pool, when he died, he was buried with thirty famous swords, including the Yuzang sword, which was specially used for various purposes, so this place is called the sword pool."

Bai Canghai said suddenly: "I remember Your Majesty said that the sword master Pei Min of that generation was the master of the female sword emperor Qian Yuechan. His Majesty also said that Master Grandpa and Qian Yuechan are brothers and sisters, and they are also the apprentices of that Pei Min."

Bai Zixuan's body trembled slightly, and his face changed slightly, but he was looking at Jianchi, and Bai Canghai was also looking at Jianchi when he spoke, standing on Bai Zixuan's right hand, and did not notice the change in Bai Zixuan's face.

When Bai Zixuan turned to look at Bai Canghai, he was already stunned and surprised, and asked, "Grandfather is Pei Min's disciple, I know this, but Qian Yuechan is also Pei Min's disciple, and he and grandfather are the same Brothers and sisters, this is really the first time I’ve heard of this matter. But I don’t know how Your Majesty found out about it?”

Bai Canghai said: "Your Majesty said that Qian Yuechan knew that she would not live for a few more days, and before entering the mysterious place, she told Your Majesty about her teacher's heritage and some past events."

Bai Zixuan's expression was a little unnatural, and he said: "So that's the case, so that Qian Yuechan has a lot to do with my Bai family, as well as you and me."

Without waiting for Bai Canghai to answer, Bai Zixuan said again: "This sword pool is actually called the Fifth Spring in the World, does Junior Brother know that the Third Spring in the World is also here?"

Bai Canghai froze for a moment, and said with a wry smile: "Brother, don't you know that even though I was forced to learn to read by my master, I haven't read many books. I don't know anything about these things."

Bypassing Jianchi, you can see a very large stone well with a diameter of more than ten feet, and beside the well there is a pavilion with a winding six corners.

Bai Zixuan said with a smile: "This is the third spring in the world 'Lu Yu Tea Well', so I know there is a legend about it."

Bai Canghai asked curiously, "What legend?"

Bai Zixuan said: "A generation of sword sages in the past, Patriarch Pei Min, invited famous swordsmen from all over the world to cook tea and taste swords here. The seniors are romantic, which is really admirable."

Bai Canghai said with some emotion: "First there was the sword pond, and now there is this sword spring, no wonder that Tiejian Villa spent 50 taels of silver to buy this Huqiu Mountain from the Song Dynasty government, and built a village here. "

Suddenly one person said: "Today Iron Sword Villa is closed to thank guests, please go back, both of you."

At this time, twilight is coming, the sunset is beautiful, and there are lone eagles circling in the shadow of Huqiu Pagoda on the top of the mountain, but it makes this picturesque beauty extremely desolate and desolate.I saw a wisp of solitary smoke flying out gracefully from the hexagonal mountain pavilion, and scattered in all directions in an instant.

A white-haired old man with a high feather and crown, sitting alone and cooking tea, his loneliness seems to be the same as that of the lone eagle circling beside the extremely tall tower.The very ordinary sentence just now uttered from his mouth seemed extremely desolate and desolate.

Bai Zixuan's eyes flickered, and he said, "Senior, are you from Iron Sword Villa?"

The old man snorted coldly and said: "I am not from Iron Sword Villa, but I am guarding the gate for Iron Sword Villa."

Bai Zixuan and Bai Canghai looked at each other with doubts in their eyes, the former couldn't help but said, "I don't know your senior's name?"

The old man didn't turn his head, but said slowly: "Old Zhang Daoning."

Bai Zixuan suddenly said: "Senior, could it be that the mad swordsman Zhang who killed all the bandits in Huangshan with a single sword ten years ago?"

The old man suddenly stood up, looked up to the sky and laughed, the dry winter leaves around the pavilion were shaken by his laughter and fell down like snowflakes.It shows a deep inner strength.

He turned around, glanced at Bai Zixuan and Bai Canghai, and said with a long smile, "I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still people who remember the old man. It's a pity that the old man is just someone else's watchdog now."

Bai Canghai couldn't help but said: "From what Senior said, could it be that Senior was forced to guard the gate of Iron Sword Villa here?"

Zhang Daoning glanced at Bai Zixuan, fixed his gaze on Bai Canghai, and said, "Actually, I'm not forced, it's just that I lost a bet with someone, and I'm willing to accept the bet and agree to guard the mountain gate."

Bai Zixuan said: "May I ask who the senior bet with, and how did he lose?"

Zhang Daoning said with an extremely complicated expression: "The owner of this Iron Sword Villa said that he would compete with the old man, and that he could defeat the old man with one move. Naturally, the old man didn't believe it. He said that he made a bet with the old man, and the old man lost in the end, so he came here. "

Bai Canghai and Bai Zixuan were moved. Although Zhang Daoning hadn't broken through to the realm of super-first-class master, he was a top-notch existence among first-class swordsmen. In terms of internal strength alone, he was much deeper than Bai Canghai. I haven't seen it before, but I guess it is at least as powerful as Lian Jicheng.Such a character unexpectedly lost to the owner of the Iron Sword Villa in one move.So what kind of strength does the owner of Iron Sword Villa possess?Under normal circumstances, super-first-class masters can't do it. Could it be that the owner of Iron Sword Villa is a half-day innate powerhouse.

Bai Zixuan and Bai Canghai looked at each other, and the former said: "May I ask why the Iron Sword Villa is closed today to thank guests?"

Zhang Daoning took a look and said: "No need to talk nonsense, according to the rules, if you want to go up, you have to defeat the old man, otherwise don't bother the old man to cook wine here!"

Before Bai Zixuan could speak, Bai Canghai's eyes showed interest, and he said, "Since that's the case, this junior will ask senior to enlighten me."

Zhang Daoning suddenly raised his head, stared at Bai Canghai and said sharply: "You are so brave, little boy."

Hearing a "choke" sound from the dragon, he already had a long sword as green as autumn water in his palm, Bai Zixuan stood a few feet away, feeling the aura of the sword was imminent.

Bai Canghai couldn't help but blurted out praise: "Good sword!"

Zhang Daoning smiled proudly: "Naturally it is a good sword."

Bai Canghai suddenly said inexplicably: "The famous sword is out of its sheath, and it is not empty. Does it mean that as long as you break through this mountain gate, senior will take his head?"

Zhang Daoning sternly said: "If this old man doesn't kill a few people for others to see, and people come to the door every day, wouldn't this old man be annoyed to death by people? What's more, my generation of martial arts is dying under the sword, are you still afraid of dying? ?”

Bai Canghai remained silent for a while, then said: "If senior wants to teach, I can only accompany you, but this junior also wants to make a bet with senior."

Zhang Daoning was stunned for a moment, laughed wildly, and real murderous intent appeared in his eyes, and said: "The owner of the Iron Sword Villa has an unpredictable origin. Although the old man was unhappy to lose to him, he was convinced. Now unexpectedly, any little baby would dare to fight with him. This old man bets, he really wants to die." Apparently Zhang Daoning thought that Bai Canghai had heard him say that he was defeated by a move just now, and despised him.

Bai Canghai said to himself, "If this junior wins senior by chance, please ask senior to answer the junior's three questions truthfully."

Zhang Daoning sneered, and said: "Very well, I promise you, but if you lose, I don't want anything from you, as long as you die under the sword of the old man!"

Bai Canghai smiled slightly, and said, "Your younger generation, you are welcome!"

Zhang Daoning said: "Very well, draw out your weapon and do it!"

Bai Canghai said: "Obey."

Before he could finish his two words, he suddenly soared into the sky, skimmed onto a big tree with withered leaves, and picked a soft branch.Sword masters are not bad at lightness kungfu, Zhang Daoning's lightness is as high as one can imagine, but seeing Bai Canghai's leap, he still couldn't help but lose face.

I saw Bai Canghai bent the soft branch into five feet long, and there were three or five dry leaves left on the branch. He used the horizontal branch as his chest, and saluted: "Senior, please."

Zhang Daoning looked angry, and said coldly: "This is your weapon?"

Bai Canghai said, "Exactly."

Zhang Daoning said angrily: "What a frivolous young man, even the owner of Iron Sword Villa would not dare to be so contemptuous and rude to this old man."

Bai Canghai said: "The younger generation does not mean any disrespect." Naturally, there is no suspense in defeating Zhang Daoning with his strength, and he only has some suspense and meaning if he changes to a tree branch, otherwise a fight that must win will not attract Bai Canghai at all. force.

Zhang Daoning shouted angrily: "What do you mean?"

Bai Canghai smiled slightly, and said: "As long as it is used properly, everything on the earth is a sharp weapon to hurt people. If it is not used properly, even ancient magic weapons can hardly hurt people at all. Seniors, how can you not understand this?"

He said these two sentences lightly, but they were full of compelling sharpness.

"If that's the case, then you should die under the old man's sword." In the words, Zhang Daoning came out step by step, he walked very slowly, only took two steps, Bai Canghai was already taken aback.

He studied under Jianzhuang, and has challenged many masters of swordsmanship in the world. Over the years, he has seen many masters of swordsmanship with unique swordsmanship.Some of these people's sword skills are light and nimble, some are sharp, and some are fierce, but no matter who they are, they have to wait until the sword is stabbed before they can threaten others.

But at this moment, the "wild swordsman" Zhang Daoning, not only has he not made a move with his long sword, he has not even stepped out of the person, Bai Canghai has faintly sensed that his sword energy is compelling, his whole body seems to have been tempered With a knife, his whole body exudes a murderous aura.

No one would have imagined that this old man in feathers and high crown, who was once defeated by the owner of Iron Sword Villa, could become so sharp and terrifying in an instant.To be honest, when he heard that Zhang Daoning was defeated by the owner of Iron Sword Villa just now, Bai Canghai was certainly surprised, but he couldn't help but feel contemptuous of Zhang Daoning in his heart, but now it seems that Zhang Daoning's strength is stronger than he expected before. Much higher.
