Chapter 8: The spirit of ancient times still exists today, and one sword dares to challenge three immortals(1/3)
Wow!
Everyone in the city made a noise.
Really a challenge?
Northern Sword Immortal, do you really dare to stand up to Xu Xiaoshou, who can even kill a half-saint?
"This is an internal battle among the Seven Swordsmen. Fighting for fame, right?"
"But Bei Jianxian ranks higher than Master Shou. Why do you condescend to challenge him? This seems to be against the rules?"
"Don't talk nonsense if you don't understand. It's not against the rules. It can be challenged. It's just that no one has ever fought like this."
"I know! I raise my hand! I also heard that according to the regulations of the Seven Swords Fairy War, anyone who 'fights for the name' must abandon other Taoisms, including spirit refining, and of course the power of ghosts and beasts.
, Just compete with the level of ancient swordsmanship... Bei Sword Immortal is so wise!"
"Oh, it's true that the drunkard is not interested in drinking. This little Beibei is too evil. Her move will not only limit our master's combat power, but it will also happen in three days. This is obviously stalling for time!"
"Oh? It's Brother Zhu? What's your opinion?"
"Three days later, maybe the people of the Holy Temple will bring reinforcements from the ruins of the God-killing Officer... Didn't Master Meng guess before that Lord Cangsheng was trapped in the ruins? Now I guess they are recruiting people, and they need to rely on
Gu Jianxiu’s appointment to buy time..."
"Hiss! Brother Zhu is really smart!"
"It's no big deal, we can all see through it, Master Shou is even more knowledgeable."
High in the sky, Xu Xiaoshou could easily read Beibei's thoughts.
He pointed at the girl and turned to look at Lei Xier and the others behind him, with a funny look on his face:
"She's kidding."
Beibei's expression suddenly stiffened.
She is serious! Gu Jianxiu is also serious!
And Xu Xiaoshou, as an ancient sword cultivator, still holds her letter of challenge in his hand, which means he accepts the challenge.
However, verbally, he is still joking, which is not serious!
"Xu Xiaoshou, don't you know, have you already promised her?" Tears suddenly burst out.
He knew Xu Xiaoshou's temperament.
This guy has only learned ancient swordsmanship, but he is not a pure ancient swordsman, nor does he fully understand the circle of ancient swordsmanship and the spirit of ancient swordsmanship.
In this complete world, there is a group of people who still uphold the "chivalrous spirit" inherited from ancient times. They may seem undesirable, but they have created a person with a distinctive personality - this is the ancient sword cultivator.
The name of the Seven Sword Immortals is sacred to every pure ancient sword cultivator.
If there is a battle, we must fight it.
Must go if you have an appointment.
In just one month, some ancient sword cultivators were unable to accept hundreds or thousands of challenges.
As long as the situation allows - there will be no situation like the last Gu Lao retreat, where I got carried away and forgot about the world.
Even if the person who fights in the end will be exhausted to the point of death.
From the perspective of most people in the world today, the "chivalrous spirit" of Gu Jianxiu is a bit redundant.
After all, he is too straightforward and can easily be taken advantage of.
But this person Xu Xiaoshou...
How should I put it, he is somewhere in the middle between the two.
He learned the "good" spirit of ancient sword cultivation, and didn't even bother with the "bad" ones.
This "bad" is not "bad" in the true sense.
He is both tough and tough, depending on the situation.
He is arrogant but not arrogant. At least in this current situation, he will definitely take the soft rather than the hard.
"Did I accept her challenge?"
As expected, when Xu Xiaoshou heard this, he turned his head and said angrily: "I didn't even say a word, so I accept her challenge? What kind of rule is this?"
Tears shook his head and said: "Since you accept the invitation to fight, even if you engage in battle, this is not only a rule of the Feng family, but also a convention of ancient sword cultivators."
"She threw it over! I just wanted to see what was written inside..."
Xu Xiaoshou muttered something and then opened the letter of challenge.
After a casual scan, he found that the content inside was almost the same as what Beibei said.
But I have to say, it’s really formal!
The letter of challenge is made of thin sheets of bronze, which feels very textured.
There is a sword tower hollowed out on its surface, but there is no human figure on it, only two swords crossed, which represents the ultimate battle under the sword god's certification.
Turning it over, you can see that the ink characters on the invitation to war are square and straight. They are proud and full of form and spirit, and they stand out clearly on the paper.
From the surrounding patterns, the honorific title at the beginning, to the words used in the text, the gilded signature and monogram at the end, as well as the personal sword seal and aura left by Bei Bei... they all express formality, politeness, and respect.
Xu Xiaoshou can almost see the image of Beibei with his feet on the chair, hunched over his desk writing, pouring blood into every word, focused and serious to the point of pouting.
He was a little surprised.
Close the letter of invitation and aim north.
When he saw the little girl's angry expression and a bit of humiliation in her eyes, Xu Xiaoshou couldn't help but feel moved.
She is too serious!
to be honest……
From the beginning, Xu Xiaoshou had no intention of paying attention to Beibei, let alone a gentleman's fight.
This can be seen from the time when he "killed the heart" and even criticized the people, rules and regulations of the entire Holy Temple.
He didn't save any face for Beibei and Shengshan, he just wanted to humiliate them.
As for the southern region...
The Feng family in the Southern Territory ranked among the rankings, and the Seven Sword Immortals returned to the Seven Sword Immortals. Xu Xiaoshou did not want to offend them at all!
He believes that his ranking on the list is due to his strength.
When he wins the title of "The First Sword Immortal" in the future, the value of this generation of Seven Sword Immortals will also increase because of his existence.
Naturally, having the name "Master Shou" among the Seven Sword Immortals is an honor for the Feng family in the Southern Region, not Xu Xiaoshou's honor.
but……
The ancient sword cultivators seemed to have a different understanding of this battle than their own.
They are all too serious!
Not just Beibei.
Xu Xiaoshou looked back in tears and was shocked to realize that this boy was speaking for Beibei from the beginning, or in other words, he was speaking for Gu Jianxiu's "convention".
Even Mr. Si Ren...
When Xu Xiaoshou looked over, he found that the usually kind teacher did not look at him at all this time, and his expression was calm, but the smell between his eyebrows...
It's not calm, it's out of sight!
The old sword master clearly knew what his student's urine was like.
Since he knew that persuasion was fruitless, Xu Xiaoshou was right from his point of view...
Because he himself had some persistence, standing on Beibei's side, he could not speak for Xu Xiaoshou, but he would not ignore his position and really speak for Beibei who was hostile...
Simply shut up!
He just looked at Beibei with distress, knowing that he was facing Xu Xiaoshou, and the little girl should suffer a lot.
"You are acting as if I am the sinner..."
Xu Xiaoshou couldn't help but smile bitterly, but his heart was deeply touched.
After spending a long time in the big dye vat of the spirit refining world, especially after facing the old Yinbi in the corridor and sky, he found that he had also been polluted.
Even if you are as smart as me, you are still like this.
None of these ancient sword cultivators has ever changed.
Should we say that they stick to the old rules, or should we describe them as rather bending than bending?
Xu Xiaoshou was not sure, but he suddenly understood why the group of ancient sword cultivators seemed so different in the spirit refining world.
In today's world, there are too many people who follow the trend, and there are also those who yearn for new ways and worship foreign dharma.
However, there are very few people who can still adhere to the ancient rituals and pass on the civilization and character from ancient times for decades without being encouraged by anyone.
This is the ancient sword cultivator!
