Chapter 46 I Can Tell Martial Arts Stories!
Chapter 46 I can tell martial arts stories!
Who is Pei Min? If it were in later generations, I'm afraid not many people would know about it.
But in the Tang Dynasty, everyone knew it.
Pei Min, a native of Hedong, was smart and fond of martial arts since childhood. At the age of eight, he became a teacher in the mountains and learned a lot of exquisite martial arts.
At the age of twenty, he traveled through the East China Sea and watched the rivers return to the sea. When the tides rise and fall, he then realized a set of sword techniques, called "Cangming Sword Technique". This set of sword techniques is extremely sharp. Once used, it is like a storm and unstoppable wave.
At the age of twenty-four, Pei Min joined the army.
At the age of 30, Pei Min was promoted to general and guarded the important town of Beiping. He led his army to attack the Xi people, Khitan and other tribes. He made many military achievements and was promoted by the emperor to the General of Zuo Jinwu.
Later, because he was tired of flattery in the court, he resigned from his official position and wandered around the world.
At the age of forty, Pei Min defeated countless masters and won the title of "The No. 1 Sword Saint in the World", which was admired by thousands of people!
However, this sword saint has always been a dragon that has no tail. Sometimes he travels through famous mountains and rivers, sometimes he walks through rural areas and countryside, and no one knows his traces. Unexpectedly, he was encountered by Li Zhao and others on this Tianjian Peak today.
The ancients said: When encountering a master, you cannot miss it. If you miss it, you will be guilty.
In order to protect himself and his relatives and friends around him, Li Zhao has always wanted to learn martial arts, but unfortunately he has not met a famous teacher. Now he has met Pei Min, the world's number one sword saint. Isn't this the best candidate?
You should know that Pei Min is not only exquisite in swordsmanship, but also good at using a horse and spear in his hand, dancing like a wheel, charging into battle, invincible, and taking the enemy's head is like taking objects.
Besides, Pei Min's archery skills are also very powerful.
During his guarding of Peking, there were many local tigers, and the people suffered greatly. Pei Min rode alone into the mountains, shooting thirty-one tigers in one day. The rest of them fled into the deep mountains, and the tigers were suffocated.
The great poet Wang Wei praised him with a poem:
Seven-star text of the sword on the waist, and hundreds of battle honors carved on the arm,
When I saw the cunning captives in the clouds, I realized that there was a general in the sky!
Pei Min deserves the eight words "Excellent martial arts skills and invincible in the world"!
The problem is that it is not easy to take him as his teacher: first, Pei Min's whereabouts are strange, and the dragon has been seen for many years and it is difficult to find him.
Second, Pei Min’s requirements for selecting disciples are extremely harsh. He must be of high character, excellent qualifications, obsessed with swordsmanship, able to endure hardships and endure hardships... and he must also be tempted by himself.
For decades, I don’t know how many aristocratic young men and strong boys wanted to join the "Sword Saint", but they failed to do so. It is said that today’s son once intended to ask Pei Min to serve as the position of the crown prince’s grand tutor, and specially taught the crown prince and other princes sword skills, but was also rejected.
Even if the emperor dared not give him face, it is conceivable that if Li Zhao stepped forward to become a disciple, he would definitely not succeed.
what to do?
Give up, it's impossible.
I have to think of a good idea. If I have... I can't attack head-on, then I'll just encircle it, hehe!
"Senior, I am so proud of it. I admire you very much. Unfortunately, it's too late today, and we may not be able to finish playing this game of chess. If you don't dislike me, please stay at my home for a few days. It's just in Qianlonggang ten miles away, where the scenery is beautiful and clean and undisturbed. We can relax and discuss the chess skills well.
The younger generation also opened a winemaking workshop, which specializes in brewing this kind of Erguotou, which is enough for the seniors to drink happily. It is not a problem to drink as much as they want!"
Li Zhao did not mention the swordsmanship and the matter of apprenticeship. He just used chess as an excuse to ask Pei Min to stay at home for a few days.
I was worried that I would not be able to invite the sword saint, so I added the "Erguotou" chip.
Li Zhao's little abacus is very good. As long as you invite Pei Min back, spend time together, cultivate feelings, and rely on the spirit of dripping water to wear stones, you will be successful in your apprenticeship sooner or later, hehe!
"No need, I am used to being free and unwilling to live with others. As for this game, I have already broken through the defense line carefully arranged by me. Even if I lose this game... As for the wine, haha, I'm just a little bit of a mouthful. I have lived for most of my life, and I still have this concentration."
After that, Go and wine still failed to touch the sword saint's heart.
Moreover, Li Zhao could feel that his little thought had been noticed by the other party, and his smile-like expression proved that he was such a cunning old guy!
what to do?
Easy to deal with!
Everyone in the world is greedy, some are greedy for money, some are greedy for fame, some are greedy for wealth, and some are greedy for the imperial plan and hegemony, and thousands of miles of world!
Pei Min is also a human being, and there is no exception.
He may not take glory, wealth, fame, wealth and power into consideration, but there is one thing he must not refuse - the peak of swordsmanship!
"Haha, since that's the case, I don't force you. Today I climbed the dangerous peak, met a master, played Go, and enjoyed such a wonderful sword dance. I was satisfied. But when I was watching my senior dance, I suddenly remembered a past event, which had something to do with the sword. I wonder if I want to listen to it?"
"Oh, tell me!"
"Yes, I remember when I was a child, I read an ancient book, which recorded a story called "The Return of the Condor Heroes": It is said that a long time ago, there was a young man named Yang Guo who was handsome, smart, and had a chivalrous heart. Unfortunately, he was seriously injured by the evil man, lost an arm, and then fell into a valley.
There is a divine eagle in the valley, with a huge body, taller than a human, with a blood-red sarcoma on its head, which is extremely powerful and is inseparable from a triangular giant python as thick as a bowl... Yang Guo is chivalrous in his heart, so he helped the divine eagle and killed the giant python.
The Divine Charm is a spiritual object. In order to repay Yang Guo's help, he led him into the depths of the valley. A cave appeared in front of him. There was no one in the cave, only a stone table and a stone bench. There was a pile of rocks rising in the corner, which looked like a tomb.
On the stone wall of the cave, there is a text carved from a sharp sword: It has been circulating in the world for more than 30 years, killing all enemies and defeating all heroes, and there is no way to resist the world. It is helpless. It is only in seclusion in the deep valley and taking the eagle as a friend. Alas, I have been seeking an enemy in my life but cannot get it. It is truly lonely and embarrassing.
The following signature is: Sword Demon—Dugu Qiubai!”
Li Zhao paused for a moment, looked at Pei Min sitting opposite him, whose eyes were slightly closed, but his ears quietly raised, indicating that he was listening carefully.
Baimo, Cui Zongzhi, and Jin Baoer were even more fascinated by them, constantly urging them with their eyes, wanting to know the development of the subsequent story...
"Yang Guo read it several times, and was shocked and admired. This senior scholar was invincible in the world and had to live in seclusion in the Shenzhong Valley. His martial arts were so profound and exquisite that he really didn't know how profound and exquisite it was.
This person is known as the "Sword Demon". He is a sword god, and his name is "Qiubao". He thought that he was a person who traveled all over the world to find a victory for himself. He never got what he wanted. He finally lost his depressedness here, remembering his senior Feng Lie, and couldn't help but fascinated. Yang Guo knelt in front of the stone tomb and bowed respectfully four times.
Seeing that he was very respectful to the rituals of the stone tomb, the divine carving seemed to be happy in his heart. He led him out of the cave and came to a huge rock with the words "Sword Tomb" engraved on it. There were four stone boxes under the sword tomb. Yang Guo opened it one by one to check:
In the first stone box is a sharp green sword, about four feet long, with a blue light shining... Next to it is a small line of words: sharp and fierce, invincible, and compete with Heshuo heroes before the weak."
The second stone box is empty, with only one line of small characters: Ziwei soft sword, used before the age of thirty, accidentally hurt the righteous man and was abandoned in a deep valley.
Yang Guo opened the third stone box again, and there was a black iron heavy sword inside, which was only more than three feet long, but it was seventy or eighty kilograms, and there was no sword edge on both sides.
A line of small words next to it: Heavy swords have no edges, great tricks are not skilled, and they rely on them to spread the world before they were forty years old."
...
Speaking of this, Li Zhao paused for a moment and looked at Pei Min again. The latter not only opened his eyes, but also trembled all over excitedly.
For ordinary people, this is just a wonderful martial arts story.
But for Pei Min, this is no longer a story, but a series of thunder and lightning not only tear through the dark night sky, illuminating the road ahead, but also awakening his mind that had been confused for a long time... When he was eight years old, he met a master in the deep mountains, learned swordsmanship, and made a wish in life, and became the number one swordsman in the world!
At the age of forty, he completed this volunteer himself, traveled all over the world, defeated countless masters, and became the world's recognized number one sword saint.
At that moment, I whistled to the sky, and my joy was no longer described in words.
But after the great joy, there is even greater loss, confusion, pain... because I have lost my life goals.
It's like a person who saw a towering mountain and climbed up with great effort. But after standing at the top, where should we go next?
In the past twenty years, I wandered around the world with all kinds of methods, but I never found the answer...
I don’t want to be awakened by the young man in front of me today with a martial arts story.
It turned out that what I had climbed before was just a small hill, with taller and more steeper peaks waiting for me to conquer.
The heavy sword has no edge, and the great trick is not crafted... The sword technique of that senior Dugu Qiubai has reached the pinnacle and superb level.
The question is, after the sharp sword, after the soft sword, after the heavy sword, what is after the heavy sword... Pei Min really wants to know the answer.
Not only Pei Min, Bai Mo, Cui Zongzhi, and Jin Baoer wanted to know, and kept urging Li Zhao to continue talking quickly.
"Ahem... that ancient book has been lost long ago. I was young when I read it, and I forgot the plot of the subsequent story. But let me go back and think about it. Maybe I can remember that it is getting late and I am about to go home. Since the senior has no intention of walking with me, I will take care of my health. Let's see you again if you are destined to be together, and say goodbye!"
Li Zhao beat him up, then picked up Xiaoyasha, pulled Jin Baoer, and went down the mountain with a swagger... Baimo, Cui Zongzhi looked at each other and had to go down the mountain together.
Only Pei Min was left and continued to stand on the top of the mountain.
Looking at the figures that were gone, and then looking at the Go that has not been played yet, I didn’t know what to do for a moment?
...
On the way down the mountain, Cui Zong looked back three times, with reluctance and regret on his face:
"Yulang, we just left like this, wouldn't we miss the opportunity? Why don't we go back and beg for a while? Maybe the Sword Saint will change his mind?"
"Haha, this person is extraordinary, and it is useless to ask for it. But please rest assured that he will come to the door within three days."
"really?"
"Of course, the incense bait has been thrown down, so why worry about the fat fish not taking the bait!"
Chapter completed!
