"If most of the swords on the list became famous because of their deceased predecessors, then this next one... should be the only exception." Chen Longque opened another page of the sword manual. : "The eighth sword, the name of the sword is Mo Chu."
With hindsight, the biggest difference between this sword and the other nine swords in the book is that it is the only sharp blade that belongs to this era, and the sword holder who became famous with it is also its only master - the Longshou Mountain Sect. The old dragon swordsman looked down upon the world.
The life of this old man, who is regarded as the "Sword Master" by the world, can be said to be magnificent and full of ups and downs.
Thirty-seven years ago, a young genius appeared out of nowhere. He was armed with a pure black long sword. When he drew the sword, it looked like dancing ink, and he defeated swordsmen all over the world without losing a single one.
The person who gave him a defeat was the number one in the world at that time. This old man in sixties, who had been called the "Excalibur" for decades, used a wooden sword to prove that he was not old enough to hold a weapon, and also proved that no matter what the future, Whoever it belongs to, this era still belongs to him. However, this defeat did not make people feel depressed, nor did it stop the young man from rising to fame. A young man in his twenties still escaped unscathed from the hands of the best in the world. What kind of glory is this? Everyone is convinced of one thing - in ten or twenty years, this swordsmanship will be controlled by this son.
Ten years later, Long Feiyu came to Jianmen Mountain to discuss swordsmanship again, but he learned that "Excalibur Zhuji" had passed away a few days ago. In the end, he was not given a chance to challenge again, so he and his first disciple Yue Yue Haoran agreed to fight again in the next ten years after a deadlock.
In another ten years, Long Feiyu, who was already known as the "Sword Master" in the world, went to Jianmen Mountain for the third time to keep his appointment. Yue Haoran readily accepted the challenge, and the weapon he used was the weapon used by his mentor Zhu Ji when he accepted Long Feiyu's challenge for the first time. The wooden sword used. The result of this battle surprised everyone - Yue Haoran easily captured Long Feiyu with a wooden sword and regained the name of the Divine Sword. It is said that this discouraging result also directly led to Long Feiyu's death. This broken sword is hidden in Longshou Mountain, and it will no longer concern itself with Jianghu affairs.
Twenty years ago, the fledgling Long Feiyu was defeated by the Divine Sword. Twenty years later, at the height of his power, he was defeated again with hatred.
Looking at the fact that Old Long Swordsman has only failed to win three battles in his life, losing two and drawing one, yet he is still ranked second in the world, it is really sad to see him. When Mo draws his sword, he never draws it out, and he will never unsheath it again. But the Taoist painter still included this legendary Mochu in the famous sword manual.
"That Xie Zhan should be this senior's disciple, right?" He Nan had contact with Xie Zhan during the final stage of the World Heroes Association. He was a taciturn man, and his tenacity left a great impression on He Nan. The impression made a considerable contribution to the temporary change of formation between He Nan and Guan Lingxiao.
Chen Longque shook his head, with a little regret on his face: "His swordsmanship...or the swordsmanship of the Longshou Mountain School is completely different from the aura-filled swordsmanship of Senior Long. ”
"There is a saying in kendo that 'it is a pity that I have not seen the twenty-year-old Long Feiyu's sword with my own eyes.' In fact, many seniors believe that after Long Feiyu lost to Zhu Ji for the first time, He gave up his own talents and advantages and embarked on a wrong path - he was too obsessed with defeating Zhu Ji, so he continued to try to dispel the opponent's swordsmanship in his subsequent training, almost to the point of becoming possessed. …”
"But that's not the right way. Let me give you an example using something you know better - a student with great talent, full of spirituality and creativity, who ranks first in every exam, but in one exam After the failure, he fell into a demonic barrier and devoted all his energy to solving problems, and the object was just a test paper... What achievements can he achieve after that?"
"He was trapped in that paper, so he could no longer surpass himself, let alone the examiner who gave the paper."
"The current swordsmanship of the Longshou Mountain Sect is almost to disassemble Zhu Ji's swordsmanship movement by movement and then design restrained moves to deal with it - although it relies on Senior Long's own experience and knowledge of superior swordsmanship. Dismantled into pieces, Longshoushan School's swordsmanship can completely defeat most swordsmanship in the world, but this extremely utilitarian swordsmanship cannot be said to be successful. Even if it can only defeat one person, that will never be the case. Invincible."
"You must know that the opponent is not a wooden person. He will only follow the rigid moves in the sword manual. Ordinary swordsmen are like this, let alone those geniuses who stand on the top of the mountains. I don't know that Senior Zhu Ji chooses to use wood. Whether the sword battle was a guide or not, Yue Haoran definitely saw through everything about Long Feiyu, so he deliberately chose the wooden sword that his master had used to humiliate Long Feiyu. He knew that he could use a piece of wood to humiliate Long Feiyu. Win it.”
"Humiliation?" He Nan noticed Chen Longque's wording. It was not difficult to tell from the other party's tone that Chen Longque had great respect for these seniors, but he used a word that was not so appropriate here.
Chen Longque nodded, and he saw He Nan's doubts: "Yes, it is humiliation - Yue Haoran said something after the battle... It was this sentence that made Mo Chujian appear in the sword manual. The rankings among them failed to reach the top.”
"It takes ten horses to ride, and the merit lies in perseverance. If you persevere, the rotten wood will not break. You can imitate it with your heart, but you can't do it with your hands."
These were really cruel words. He Nan smiled, but he was telling the truth.
"And the seventh and sixth swords that follow are all you have seen with your own eyes..." Chen Longque put the two swords together and said, because the two indeed have very high similarities: "If we talk about throwing, The two swords Liu Ying and Mo Chu both originated from a short-lived brilliance, and the three-foot sky light and Xikong represent the long-standing inheritance of Liu Guang..."
"The users of these two swords in the past are not very prominent people who led the trend of an era. Some people even commented that these two swords are the 'most popular' swords in the sword manual, because the stories of these people are more... What I am going to talk about next seems a bit mediocre, even boring..."
"But think about it from another angle. After Xue Wudi, the Xue family was mediocre. Cao Ji died and lost his sword, and Long Feiyu returned home in humiliation. What will be the outcome of these influential figures? Whether it is swords or spirits, they are all I couldn’t leave it to my successors, but Sanchi Tianguang and Xue Kong are still there.”
"Li Jianmen went away with Zuoqiu Sect Master, but Sanchi Tianguang and the will to punish rape and eliminate evil have not disappeared, and there are still people from the Zuoqiu family to implement it; and Xiekong has been preserved from the beginning of Youtian Pavilion. Now, this sect has not been particularly prosperous, but it has not been abandoned by the current situation. It is said that the little nephew of Jin Pavilion Master is also quite talented."
Chen Longque's introduction to these two swords was very brief and simple, but it did not lose the glory of the top ten famous swords.
"And then there are the top five. Each sword among them is worthy of being a legend of the past and present, and is no less impressive than the Divine Sword Book." Chen Longque's sales made people excited.
The fifth sword is called "Fangsheng", also known as "far away".
Only when one is born can one die, and only when one is dead can one live again - from "Zhuangzi: Equality of Things".
The Taoist sect has been divided into many parts in later generations. Fang Mengran, the first leader of the Fuyao sect, called himself "Fang Sheng" when he was young. He carried a sword taught by an immortal and aspired to practice enlightenment. He said that the road to immortality is "even though it is far away, it can be seen"; In his later years, when the war was raging in the Central Plains and the plague was raging, Master Fang saw all the hardships and sufferings in the world, so he led the Fuyao sect into the world to save people, and eventually contracted the disease and died in the far away world. From then on, this immortal sword became A keepsake of successive leaders of the Fuyao Sect.
In fact, this sword may be the only sword in the famous sword manual that has never seen blood, but no one has ever had any objection to its inclusion on the list. Regardless of whether it is really the sword of the Immortal Family, its owner But it really saved people's lives. The name "Far Away" may be due to Fang Mengran's sudden realization before his death that there is no difference between the immortal way and the human way, both of which are difficult to practice.
The reason why Chen Longque distinguishes this sword from the previous two is because it is the only "ceremonial weapon" in the sword manual. The inheritance on this sword is also thicker than the previous two. If it is forcibly released, It would be inappropriate to narrate them together.
"No matter how long the immortal lived, Yuan Yuan is the oldest sword among the ten famous swords. However, considering that Dao Sect has always maintained an inseparable relationship with Jianghu, it is not ranked too high, even if it is painted The Taoist is also a Taoist priest from the Fuyao sect." Chen Longque said with a smile, "Perhaps he also knows that the appearance of a famous sword will cause a lot of disputes. Who knows that one day there will be trouble with the Fuyao sect without opening his eyes? "
"The sword ranked fourth is also very special. In a sense, it is a sword that 'does not exist'. Its user did not leave an exact name, and its own name is not known to anyone." As everyone knows, the current name is rather far-fetched by later generations."
Chen Longque glanced at He Nan and Xiao Yu: "And the story about it...maybe it can be regarded as a love story."
"tragedy."
"tragedy."
The two said in unison, but He Nan looked at Xiao Yu very strangely: "Don't you claim that you only read stories with happy endings? Why are you imitating me this time?"
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yu responded in a very vicissitudes of tone: "It's because I heard this story when I was a child, so I stopped watching tragedies from then on... This can be regarded as part of the shadow of childhood!"
"Miss Yu has actually heard of this story?" Chen Longque was also very surprised. He originally thought that it was only written in sword manuals.
"Has Senior Brother forgotten the origin of our Guanghan Palace?" Yu Ruyi reminded, "The protagonist of this story is somewhat related to our Guanghan Palace."
