Dusk, not yet dusk.
The misty clouds in the distance are misty and vast. You can't see anything, but you can see everything.
Zhao Qing was alone, walking on the official road to the capital.
There was a lot of dust and sand on the road, but it was blocked a few feet in front of her and went to both sides.
The ability to block Chensha in this way seems simple, but there are only a few people in the world who can achieve this level of body-protecting Qi.
However, if a master who has really practiced this method observes carefully from the side, he will be surprised to find that there is no internal energy released from Zhao Qing's body.
This is already a more mysterious skill than protecting the body's true energy: "Subjugate the energy with the heart."
Although the heaven and earth are big, they can control the form, but they cannot control the intangible. Although Yin and Yang are wonderful, they can control the energy, but they cannot control the lack of energy.
Wherever the heart is, the qi will follow it, and where the qi is, the form will respond to it, just like Taixu, which becomes one qi in nothingness, and becomes all things in one qi, but the other qi is not called Taixu.
While Zhao Qing was on the road, her skills were improving every day. At the same time, she also understood a lot of the content of "Five Symbols Yin and Yang Transformation into Gods". Combining it with "Shen Qi" and "Virtual Reality", she derived a complex Variety.
The inspiration of the five elements of yin and yang was rising and falling in Zhao Qing's heart, and the "Ten Heavenly Swords" that were missing several swords were gradually being completed and formed.
Walking on the official road like her, there are many people in the world who are armed with swords and swords.
They talked a lot along the way, sometimes shouting excitedly, as if something big had happened in the martial arts world recently.
At this moment, a sudden sound of hoofbeats was heard in the distance.
A magnificent carriage sped forward, driven by a young man wearing purple clothes and wearing a sword, with a pair of white jade fishes hanging on his sword.
This young man's martial arts skills were obviously not low. He suddenly pulled the reins and somersaulted from the side, landing steadily three feet away.
Although he borrowed the forward momentum of the carriage, he undoubtedly had the best skills among the second-rate.
The horse pulling the cart neighed and immediately stopped.
The boy in purple took two quick steps and walked to Zhao Qing's side.
He stood with his sword in hand, looked at her coldly, clasped his fists and said, "Girl, you are wearing a long sword on your waist. Are you also going to the capital to participate in the 'Tianxia Sword Club'?"
Hearing the words "Tianxia Sword Club", many people walking on the road couldn't help but stop and look this way.
It is said that more than half a month ago, due to the rumored assassination of the crown prince, Wudang leader Shi Yanzhenren visited Pingnan Palace and competed with Ye Gucheng, the lord of Baiyun City, and lost in just fifteen moves.
Ye Gucheng's reputation, which had been damaged due to his defeat some time ago, not only recovered as before, but also improved to a higher level after the news spread.
After the crown prince was revealed, he challenged the world's swordsman masters, such as Zhao Qing, who has been called the "Female Sword Fairy" in recent months, Dugu Yihe, the head of Emei, Ximen Chuixue, the owner of Wanmei Villa, Mu Taoist of Wudang Sect, etc. He sent out an invitation, saying that he would hold a "World Sword Fair" in the capital from August 15th to September 15th to discuss and exchange swords together.
If this conference is successfully held, it may be the grandest event in the world in a hundred years. But among those who practice swordsmanship and martial arts, how many people are willing to miss it?
All of a sudden, all the heroes gathered and headed towards the capital.
It is said that even the mysterious swordsman who lives in seclusion at the Water Peak of the Virgin, and the "Three Friends of Suihan" from the Xiaotianlong Cave in Kunlun's Great Light Realm in the past, have decided to come.
But the Lord of Baiyun City has such a high vision. If he wants to be truly qualified to participate in the "Tianxia Sword Club", instead of just being a peripheral spectator, in the eyes of the public, he must at least be from a famous sect, or have someone in the world. A top-notch master with great reputation.
Otherwise, the most you can do is claim to be "seeing" rather than "participating".
The young swordsman in purple asked such a question. Could it be that he, the young girl, and the people in the gorgeous carriage were all qualified to "participate" in the conference?
"Jianxuan White Jade Pisces, your master is the owner of Huqiu, Pisces Pond, and Changle Villa in the south of the Yangtze River, the 'Taiping Swordsman' Sima Ziyi." Zhao Qing nodded and asked the young man instead.
After she absorbed the golden energy in the fake Seven Star Sword, she used the sword energy to repair the exterior of the scabbard and tied it around her waist.
Its appearance now is not reminiscent of the Wudang Sect's Seven-Star Sword, but it is still simple and elegant. At a glance, you can tell that it is a valuable sword.
"Taiping Swordsman" Sima Ziyi is the head of Jade Sima among the three major martial arts families: "Jin Nangong, Yin Ouyang, and Jade Sima". He is also the only disciple of "Mr. Iron Sword" in the past. He has both civil and military skills and a distinguished family background. Before the age of twenty It has become famous all over the world.
Now that he has reached middle age, he is undoubtedly the top swordsman in the world, and his reputation is only lower than that of Ximen Chuixue, Wudang Shiyan and other top swordsmen.
Sima Ziyi in the carriage knew people with swords and judged that Zhao Qing was probably from a famous family, so he could own such a sword at such an age, so he asked his disciples to get out of the carriage and ask questions.
Listening to the exclamations from the onlookers, the boy in purple also nodded and proudly said:
"My Hu Qing, the person sitting over there is my master. This place is still more than forty miles away from the capital, and it takes two hours to walk. The girl's elders are not accompanying her, so you might as well get on the master's carriage and go together. If you go along the way, you can make friends with our Changle Villa."
Zhao Qing glanced at the carriage parked nearby, and saw that the curtain in front of the carriage had been opened, and a middle-aged man in brocade clothes and sword slightly poked his head out, with a somewhat proud look on his radiant face.
The usually domineering Sima Ziyi could make such an invitation, which shows that he attaches great importance to this "World Sword Club" and has the idea of taking advantage of this opportunity to make friends and develop his family.
Being able to establish a relationship with "Jade Sima" Changle Villa is also something that countless people in the martial arts world can only dream of.
"No need." However, Zhao Qing shook his head and rejected the invitation from both master and disciple.
After leaving Ghost Villa, she quickly returned to Yangcheng. However, two powerful insiders, the Xiaoxiang swordsman Wei Ziyun and the wealthy swordsman Yin Xian, had already identified the murderer and captured the "murderer" Jia Leshan. He will soon be brought back to the capital for Ming Zhengdian punishment. .
Ye Gucheng also left Prince Pingnan's Mansion, left her an invitation to the "Tianxia Sword Club" in advance, and headed to the capital.
Even if the pirate Jia Leshan was framed, he would have died innocently. Prince Nan Wang and Zhao Qing didn't have any friendship, so they couldn't make a special trip to rehabilitate him and find out the real culprit.
However, due to the "Tianxia Sword Fair" that started on August 15th, she decided to walk to the capital and experience the scenery along the way to feel the breath of nature.
Zhao Qing is not sure whether there is any conspiracy in this "World Sword Club".
But it really suited her.
Even if Ye Gucheng had not held this event, she would have held one herself.
There was no special reason why Zhao Qing refused to go with the Sima family. She just wanted to quietly watch the misty clouds and yellow sand at the moment, and she didn't want to get into trouble with the martial arts family.
"Does the girl really want to refuse the tutor's kindness?" But Hu Qing didn't think so.
His eyes widened, and suddenly he flipped his wrist, and the sword at his waist thrust out like a poisonous snake, hitting a flying insect on the roadside.
Being able to stab to death a small flying insect several feet away in an instant, this kind of swordsmanship is already very good for ordinary people in the world, not to mention that he is only a boy of sixteen or seventeen years old.
At least, the twenty or thirty people from all walks of life who gradually gathered on the roadside had expressions of wonder on their faces.
"Please teach me, girl!" Hu Qing gently shook off the flying insects on the tip of the sword, and said to Zhao Qing half seriously and half proudly.
Since he regarded Zhao Qing as a child of a famous family, he naturally made the decision to restore the reputation of the Sima family by winning through competition.
But Zhao Qing smiled slightly and ignored Hu Qing's invitation to fight. He just stretched out his hand gently and grabbed it in the air. From the carriage two feet away, he unexpectedly shot out a black fish skin scabbard with a platinum mouth and an ancient form. The long sword fell into her hand.
This is naturally the Pisces sword that Sima Ziyi uses every day.
No matter the pedestrians watching on the side, or Sima Ziyi and Hu Qing inside and outside the car, they never expected that this girl who met by chance on the road could actually seize the sword of the "Taiping Swordsman" from a distance.
Even the Lord of Baiyun City, Ye Gucheng, who is about to hold the "World Sword Fair", would not be able to possess such a peerless magical skill.
"Speaking of the Sima family's 'good intentions', I did think of something that I can entrust you to do."
Zhao Qing said with a smile, and with a wave of his palm, the Pisces Sword flew back into the carriage flatly.
