Competing

Chapter 39
The result of the sword competition is really such a happy family, and the family is worried. Long Qi, who took the lead in provoking, lost face.Put down a sentence: "See you on the battlefield in the future!", and walked away after speaking.

Xiang Bo and Ji Bu also hurried out to smooth things over, but they didn't stop Long Qi, so they could only persuade Xiang Zhuang and Yin Xu with nice words.

Xiang Zhuang said with a faint smile: "Brother Yin, you are being polite. Although the sword is helpful, the sword moves are indeed extraordinary and very unique."

"Where? Little Jier, if you have time, you should ask your lord for advice."

Xiang Zhuang was also aboveboard, and said with a smile: "Okay, let's learn more when we have time! The sword in Brother Yin's hand is really sharp, can you let me watch it next time?"

"Of course!" Yin Xu threw back his hand, and Xiang Zhuang just picked up the hilt of the sword, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.

"Break the water?" Xiang Zhuang suddenly said: "So that's it. This is one of the eight famous swords of Yue King Goujian. It is really extraordinary."

At this time, Duan Shui was holding it in his hand, his eyes were full of longing, and he asked leisurely: "Dare to ask Brother Yin, where did this sword come from?"

Yin Xu said: "Gift from others!"

"Brother Yin is really lucky!" Xiang Zhuang's expression was full of envy, and he asked after a while: "There is a legend about this sword, does Brother Yin know about it?"

"Legend? What legend?" Yin Xu was at a loss!
"It seems that Brother Yin was not told about the blade of the gifted sword, or he didn't know about it!" Xiang Zhuang sighed: "Cherishing the shadow and cutting off the water, a match made in heaven, a legend hundreds of years ago, I'm afraid not many people know it now."

"Chengying cut off the water?"

"Yes, we are talking about the two magic weapons of 'Chengying' and 'Duanshui'."

When everyone heard the centuries-old legends, and they were all famous ancient swords, they all became interested and listened attentively to Xiang Zhuang's eloquence.

"Chengying" is known as the sword of elegance. It was cast in the Shang Dynasty and was later hidden by Kong Zhou, a man of Wei in the Spring and Autumn Period. "Liezi. Tang Wen": "Confucius Zhou said: 'I have three swords, but the son chooses them.... The second is Chengying, the friendship between the taste and the taste. When the sun is dark, look at it from the north. If there is something in the light flames , it has no shape. When it touches something, it makes a sound, and when it touches the object, it disappears."

Yin Xu vaguely remembered that there was a ranking list of ancient swords in later generations, and Chengying Sword seemed to be listed among the top ten famous swords in ancient times.So when I heard Xiang Zhuang talk about "Chengying and Cutting off the Water", I was very surprised. The two swords are both immortal swords, but they come from different ages. Is there any connection between them?legend?What kind of legend will it be?

Just listen to Xiang Zhuang's way: "Later Wei was defeated by Chu, and 'Chengying' also fled to Chu State. Later, King Wei of Chu gave this sword to Linfeng. At that time, the first female swordsman of Chu State was the Royal Guard of Chu Palace. At that time, the powerful Yue State, which was attacking the Qi State, was bewitched by the King of Qi, intending to seek hegemony and turned to fight against the State of Chu."

King Wei of Chu was also a generation of majestic and powerful kings. He immediately sent troops to meet the Yue army and defeated them.As a result, the state of Yue fell apart, and the children of various ethnic groups competed for power. Some became kings and some became kings. Min.

At that time, there was a righteous man named Min Xing from the State of Yue, who was also a master of swordsmanship. His family was favored by the King of Yue, and he was very worried about the subjugation of the State of Yue, and he was full of hatred for the State of Chu.After careful consideration, Min Xing decided to assassinate King Wei of Chu to avenge Wujiang, so he took the family-heirloom sword 'Duanshui' bestowed by King Yue and headed for the capital of Chu.

It's a pity that Minxing's assassination plan didn't go well, because he met Linfeng, two peerless swordsmen, a man and a woman, wielding two rare swords in the world, how many times have they fought?During many fights, they began to admire each other, and gradually they seemed to be no longer rivals, but more like familiar friends, even confidants.

If it is an ordinary person, it may be possible to achieve a marriage made in heaven.But their identities and responsibilities force them to be enemies and fight with their lives.

It was dawn, when the sky was black and white, they met again.For a whole night, they fought outside the capital of Chu, with swords and swords constantly passing by.At dawn, a stream of blood splashed from Min Xing's body, and the sharp 'Cheng Ying' pierced into his chest.Linfeng remained expressionless until his beloved fell in front of him, and finally couldn't help but burst into tears.On that day, King Wei of Chu ordered Min Xing to be killed, and the king's order was hard to disobey.

Linfeng's pair of flamboyant jade hands slowly raised up, and in the clasped hands was a sword hilt, only the hilt could not see the blade of the long sword, but an erratic sword shadow was faintly cast on the mountain wall.The raised hands drew an elegant arc, and swung towards a tall and straight ancient pine next to it. There was a slight "cha" sound in the ear, and the tree shook slightly, but there was no change.However, not long after, the lush pine trees fell slowly in a gentle south wind, and the flat and protruding rings showed the passage of time.

At the moment when the pine tree fell, 'Chengying' crossed the elegant jade neck like a swan facing the wind, and Xiang Yu of the two people joined together, like a blooming red flower, so brilliant and so beautiful!The king's order has been fulfilled, but he has let down his beloved, so Linfeng chooses to accompany Minxing.Chengying Duanshui couldn't be together during his lifetime, but after his death, he can finally unite his two swords and stay together forever.

Before dying, Linfeng left a wish, if there are men and women who can share the two swords of 'Chengying' and 'Duanshui', they will be a match made in heaven.The love between Minxing and Linfeng was so deep that the people of Chu were very moved. Later, King Wei of Chu also buried them together with his affection.

Xiang Zhuang said: "The legend is like this. It's just that the two swords of Chengying and Duan Shui have disappeared since then, and this legend has been gradually forgotten. If I didn't look up ancient books, I would not know. I didn't expect to see Brother Yin carrying the 'Duan Shui Sword' today." ’, Sansheng is really lucky.”

A poignant love story, everyone was fascinated by it.Yin Xu was also stunned, he didn't expect that the two swords were so related and contained such emotions, it seemed that the emotions in film and television novels actually appeared in front of him.

Zhong Limei pointed at 'Duan Shui' and said with a smile: "Now this Duan Shui is in the hands of Brother Yin, if there is a girl who holds the Yingying Sword, is it your destined sweetheart?"

"Haha, yes! Brother Yin, you have to work harder and search hard. Maybe Linfeng's last wish will come true on you."

Yin Xu smiled and said: "How could it be such a coincidence, the Chengying Sword has been lost for a hundred years and does not know its whereabouts, and it is not known in whose hands, it may not be a woman. Besides, the world is so big, how can you meet it casually?"

Speaking of this sweetheart, Yin Xu felt pity in his heart, and the first thing he thought of was Li Yuniang who was far away from each other.Immediately, a beautiful image appeared in my mind, that elegant and beautiful woman wearing a veil, "Duan Shui" took over from her Qianqianyu hand.I wonder if she knows this legend?Forget it, it's just a legend, not true.

Wu Chen was very interested in this, and said with a smile: "As Brother Yin said, 'With all sincerity, gold and stone are opened', maybe there is such a woman, and Brother Yin will be the one to invite wine at that time."

Everyone laughed and said everything for a while.Xiang Zhuang returned the sword, and 'Duan Shui' held his hand again, and Yin Xu felt a strange feeling in his heart.

PS: 'Cutting off water' is not easy!Guess whether Yin Xu will meet the woman who holds the 'Cheng Ying'?It should be noted that this legend is purely fictitious!
