After a pause, the young man continued: "It is said that in ancient times, there was an evil dragon that harmed the world. This sword fell from the sky. The sword contained sword energy and killed it. When it was killed, heavy snow fell from the sky and the coldness was overwhelming. People call this sword the 'Dragon and Snow Sword' to commemorate its merits."
"This sword has the word "Dingguang" on the hilt. You see, the two words were originally light white. If you look at it for a long time, you will feel dizzy. Now it has turned into dark yellow and the dizziness is gone. Master Huang said that the sword energy of this sword has been exhausted, so the words have turned into dark yellow. Now you have no problem holding this sword, but it is best not to take too long. After all, this sword has been used for a long time. Made of cold iron, it's cold to start with." The young man stared at the sword in Chen Fan's hand and continued.
Hearing the music and knowing the elegant meaning, Chen Fan did not pull out the sword from its scabbard to check the blade, but handed the sword to the young man. The young man was obviously stunned and said, "Don't you want to read it?"
"No, I've already seen it today. I was just joking with you before. You didn't give it, so I wanted to see it. I wonder how this sword lost its sword energy?" Chen Fan asked. In fact, Chen Fan had the urge to pull out the sword in his heart, but he was vaguely worried about the danger. The cold air flowing in his body was very similar to the cold air coming from the sword. After all, he still hadn't figured out how he fainted before, so he should take a moment. Wait a minute, the days ahead are still long. In essence, Chen Fan is a steady person who doesn't seek merit, but seeks no faults.
The young man took the long sword back, obviously relieved, and said: "I don't know, this is just Master Huang saying that the sword energy is gone, and I don't know when it disappeared. Logically speaking, you are just an ordinary person, and it should have nothing to do with you. , it’s just that this time you came over and said you wanted to learn martial arts from me, but when I was practicing boxing for you, you suddenly picked up the sword under the sycamore tree, pulled it out and swung it, and then fainted. Only then did Master Huang check the sword. I found that the sword energy contained in the sword was gone. However, for thousands of years, no one has been able to use the sword energy in the sword. To ordinary people, it is just a legend."
"Khan, as expected, curiosity killed the cat, no, it killed the man." Chen Fan thought in his heart.
He said, "Then what did you and my mother say?"
"I didn't say anything. I don't know how you fainted? I have only heard that sword energy can hurt people, but you are not injured. I have never heard that sword energy can hurt people's souls. That doctor said that you hurt your soul. , so although I suspected that you might have been injured by the cold air of the sword, I only told my aunt that you were learning martial arts with me at that time. When I finished a set of boxing and looked at you, I found that you suddenly fainted for some reason. "
"Well, what should I call you in the future?" Chen Fan was afraid that the young man would wonder why he asked so suddenly, "You told my mother that I was learning martial arts from you, so should I call you master?" Chen Fan asked.
The young man was stunned for a moment, but after listening to Chen Fan's explanation, he not only laughed at himself, but said: "How can I be your master? I am still an apprentice myself. The most I can do is show you how to punch. You still call me the same as before. Just Ah Qing."
Knowing what to call the young man, Chen Fan suddenly felt more at ease and said, "Aqing, what do you mean by the word Dingguang on this sword? Why isn't it called Dingguang Sword?"
"Dingguang is translated as calm and stable; light means glorious and bright. It probably means that the person holding this sword can be strong and calm in his heart, full of light. According to legend, the word "Dingguang" only appeared after killing the evil dragon. , people already called it the 'Dragon Subduing Snow Sword' at that time, but these are all legends handed down from ancient times, and I don't know whether they are true or not."
"Thank you." After listening to A Qing's explanation, I thought that I might have to borrow a sword from him in the future in order to get the pages of the heavenly book. It is still necessary to build a good relationship. Chen Fan thought about the thank-you gift he had seen in the clip before in his memory, sat up straight, crossed his hands, and bent down to salute.
"No, if you are so polite, I'm not used to it." A Qing sat up straight and said.
"Okay, then I won't be polite to you. I'll play with you another day." Chen Fan returned.
"Okay, then I'll take my leave first." It seemed that it was getting late, so Chen Fan said that we would meet again later, and A Qing stood up and took his leave.
Chen Fan didn't stay long, sent A Qing away, returned to the bedroom, sat in front of the desk, and sorted out his thoughts. He gained a lot this time, mainly because he learned that his name was "Fasheng"; he also knew how to faint. , I already have the answer in my heart, at least it’s okay to answer why I fainted.
There is so much to know and learn later, but fortunately you can do it all. First, determine your surname, find out the names of your parents and key people in the mansion, your study situation, practice calligraphy, exercise, and visit teachers and classmates. etc.
Looking out the window, the sun was setting in the west, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone in the courtyard, covering the courtyard with a red veil. Before I could appreciate the beautiful scenery of the world, I saw Achun appear in front of the window.
"Mr. Lang, the envoy is back. There is also a Taoist priest who is here with you. Mr. Lang, please get ready first. I think the master will call you over soon."
Chen Fan's heart skipped a beat, "Father is back and has brought a Taoist priest. It seems that this Taoist priest is probably an expert and has a certain understanding of souls. It's best not to see anything unusual about me. "
"Ah Chun, can you call Hou Feng here? I have something to ask him." Chen Fan pretended to be calm and said to Ah Chun calmly. Hou Feng is what Achun said before as the person with the best martial arts and the fastest runner in the house. The reason why Achun was asked to call Hou Feng instead of someone else was because Chen Fan had estimated before that Hou Feng might not be successful in the house. At least he was not particularly valued by his father, but he had certain talents. If you want to inquire about news at this time, he is the most likely person. First, he may not be with his father at this time and has time to come over; secondly, he should come back with his father, and it is relatively possible to hear some news.
"Yes, Langjun, I'll go shout and see." After finishing speaking, Achun disappeared in front of the window.
Chen Fan picked up the "Grass and Trees Book" on the desk and read it. In modern life, Chen Fan is considered a Go fan. He is still at the second level of Wild Fox. He has also read many Go books and listened to I have mentioned the "Caomu Pu", which is said to be a game between Xie An and his nephew Xie Xuan of the Jin Dynasty. This game implies the formation method of winning the battle of Feishui. It is praised by the world as one of the five unique chess records. Unfortunately, it has long been lost. , I didn’t expect to see it here. However, this chess game only has the name "Cao Mu Pu", and there is no compilation to indicate when, where or who played it. I don't know if it is just the same name or the same chess game.
There are only 17 routes in the chess game, which are slightly different from the current 19 routes. Since the advent of the Go artificial intelligence "AlphaGo", the Go theory has changed a lot. Chen Fan asked himself whether he should accept the original Go theory and AlphaGo's practical views. But looking at this chess record, I still feel that there are some things that I don’t understand. White mainly attacks and Black mainly defends. I played 186 moves of Go. Black’s defense in some places was inexplicable, but Black finally succeeded in killing White. The dragon in the middle can be said to be a magical victory. It seems that people who use black chess have an unpredictable level of Go.
Before I could figure out the chess game, Ah Chun came in and said, "Lang Jun, Hou Feng is here. He's in the living room."
"Okay, let's meet in the living room." Chen Fan replied, got up and went to the living room with Achun. Hou Feng was standing at the door of the hall. He was about 20 years old. He looked simple and honest, with dark skin and a square face. He was wearing a short shirt and a smart outfit.
"Sit down." Chen Fan said briefly.
"No, I'll just stand." Hou Feng replied.
"It doesn't matter, you don't have to be constrained by me." Chen Fan looked at Hou Feng with a smile.
"I, I'd better stand." Hou Feng was a little cautious, but still a little insistent.
"Honest man, if you stand and I sit, why would I have to look up at you?" Chen Fan thought to himself and said, "Okay, let's stand together. I have been sitting for a long time, so it's just right. I want to get up and move around.”
Hou Feng raised his head and looked at Chen Fan. Seeing Chen Fan's sincere face, he suddenly felt relieved.
"I invite you to come this time. First, I want to thank you for going to report to my father. It was a hard journey. Second, I want to ask if you know the Taoist priest who came with my father. Where is he from? What is he good at?" Chen Fan continued.
"You're welcome, Mr. Lang. This is what Hou Feng should do. The Taoist priest's surname is Jia, and everyone calls him Master. He was invited from the Zhenwu Taoist Temple. I heard he is very capable, proficient in scriptures and meanings, and presides over fasting rituals. Ability to accept the teachings of the Tao and help people enter the Tao."
"What is Taoism? Can it heal the soul?" Chen Fan asked based on Hou Feng's words.
"Taoism is the doctrine and magic of Taoism. Each Taoist sect has a different focus. Regarding magic, I heard that the main ones that have been passed down are divination and sword control. To learn these two things, you generally have to go to a Taoist school. As for healing the soul , I have never heard of it, but it is said that the Taoist sect has the art of immortality, which can strengthen the soul, cultivate the soul, and ascend in the daytime. However, I have not heard of anyone achieving it in the past thousand years. Instead, martial arts are prosperous. It is said that some people can break the body with their flesh. Empty, attain immortality.”
"Thank you, Hou Feng. You go and do your work first. We'll talk another day." Considering that he was going to see his father soon and had some things to prepare, everyone stood talking again. Chen Fan didn't say anything more and asked Hou Feng to hurry up. back,
"Farewell." Hou Feng cupped his hands and turned around to leave the hall.
"Ah Chun, do you also know where I put some of the articles I wrote before?"
"The recent ones are all on the bookshelf, and the earlier ones are in the attic."
"What time is it now?"
"It should be just after Shen Shi, and it's already You Shi."
"Khan, what time is Shen Shi? What time is You Shi? It looks like it's past five in the afternoon." Chen Fan suddenly felt a little sweaty on his forehead as he thought.
Thinking that it was getting late and it was almost time for dinner, Chen Fan said, "Ah Chun, please help me prepare. What should I see through and what should I wear on my head?" It is really troublesome for men to have long hair in this era.
"Okay, Mr. Lang, I'll get you a blue belt and a hosta on your head."
"Okay, you can do whatever you want." Chen Fan said, but he actually had the other half in his mind, "I don't understand anyway." However, he couldn't say it out loud.
Achun walked towards the bedroom, followed closely by Chen Fan. As soon as the two of them entered the house, the bedroom window suddenly darkened, and a figure blocked the window.
