The Grand Ceremony of the Sect Master always lasts for three days. On the first day, the four peaks taste wine and admire the flowers. They use sword energy to make a waterfall of stars, pick Xia Rui to make up their faces, sit in the sky together, talk about immortals and Taoism, and discuss the essence of Taoism.
At noon, the sonorous sound of swords came from outside. The sound of swords vibrated like an iron gun with a broken flag hanging on it. When you hear it from a distance, you can feel the thick and cold sword intent in the air. .
That is the sword music of the Yujian Tianzong, which means choking. When approaching, it is like seeing a large army of iron armor pressing down, and the limbs and bones are vibrating. If the visitor is a little weak in Taoism, he will be directly frightened by the sword music, and the Taoist heart will be frightened. Trembling, unable to even raise his spiritual power.
Ning looked at the clear sky outside the window for a long time, tapping his fingers on the table and singing the music of the sword.
After the music stopped, Ning Jiujiu stood up leisurely. He took one last look at the neatly cleaned house, looked at the blue bird scroll hanging on the wall, and gently opened the door and left.
Lu Marion's appearance today is the most discussed matter nowadays.
More than two years ago, in the wilderness, the fairy tale of Lu Marrying and killing nine infants with a sword was widely circulated. After that, she lived and died with her apprentice, separated by the abyss. The story of her appearance is also very sad. There was a lot of discussion among the sects. When the four swordsmen met at the Sword Summit, Lu Jiaou, who was only in her teens, won the title. The best painter in the world at that time was invited to the peak to draw a hanging portrait of the little sword fairy. In the past two years, the painter who was supposed to be reclusive also rose to fame, and the threshold was crossed, just to beg him to paint another picture according to the memory.
Today, the woman seems to have walked out of the painting, and came to everyone in a cold and elegant manner. Only then did people realize that the painting is limited after all.
Ning Changjiu did not go to the main hall of the sect leader. He just stood on the peak stone and looked at it from a distance, then turned around and walked down the mountain towards the territory of Zhao Kingdom.
…
Ning Changjiu stepped on his sword, his body like a sword rainbow, passing through the green fields of wild grass, and arrived at Linhe City.
Linhe City is now in decline. If Zhao Xiang'er had not given strong support and sent a large number of people to rebuild and provide pensions, the city would have been an empty city at this moment.
Ning Jiujiu came to Ning Qinshui's old house.
In a sense, this is where his life began.
The old house has long since changed its appearance and is no longer recognizable. Most of the old shops in the city have closed their doors. On the bluestone street, several businessmen are walking with their thin horses. The thin horses are dragging heavy goods. They look tired and the businessmen have hair. It was tied with a coarse cloth, and there was sand and dust on its brow and beard.
Ning Jiujiu came to the sandy water.
Han Xiaosu came out of the water in surprise and shouted loudly, "Benefactor, Benefactor."
Ning Jiujiu smiled faintly and said, "You are doing well. It seems that you have not slacked off in the past two years."
Han Xiaosu bowed and said, "It's all taught me well by Sister Xiaoling."
Ning Jiujiu smiled and said, "That's right. I really didn't teach you anything back then."
Han Xiaosu waved his hands quickly: "Benefactor, that's not what I meant."
Ning Changjiu had a smile on his face: "Tell me about Junior Sister Junior Sister."
Han Xiaosu talked to him about what happened in the past two years. It was just that the two years had been uneventful. She only talked about trivial things. She was afraid that Ning Jiujiu would be bored, so she raised her head to look at him from time to time, only to find that Ning Jiujiu was bored. His expression was extremely serious from beginning to end.
"She often asks you about ghosts?" Ning asked for a long time.
Han Xiaosu nodded and said, "I think I miss you dearly."
Ning Jiujiu looked at this former city of Fengdu, and thought of the ancient spirit sect she was now in. The little junior sister Xindao was so destined to the Nether lineage. After the three-year appointment, she had to go see her as soon as possible. It would be bad to become the second Bone Lady.
After bidding farewell to Han Xiaosu, Ning Jiujiu followed the rumors in teahouses and came to a place called Baicheng.
Baicheng and the surrounding cities were originally cut off by the Jin Kingdom. Now all the surrounding lands have returned to Zhao. Only Baicheng still strangely retains the flag of the Jin Kingdom.
Ning Jiujiu entered the city.
This city is no different from other cities. The war seems not to have affected this city. The city is still very lively, with restaurants and teahouses open. It is said that outside one of the most popular singing houses there is a memorial inscribed by King Jin himself. Shop sign.
Baicheng is only called Baicheng because it is said that two hundred years ago, a saint named Bai in the city once ascended to immortality and left here. When the saint left, he took nothing with him, and his white robe also fell back to the city from the air. Overnight, there seemed to be wind and snow blowing, and all the bricks and tiles turned snow-white.
This has been the talk of the town for many years.
Ning went to the legendary Feixian Terrace for a long time.
After he came to Feixiandai, he found that the legend seemed to be more than just a legend.
The structure of Feixiandai is extremely complex. The seemingly messy carvings on it contain thousands of formations similar to small flying formations. They are interlocked to form a large formation, which is similar to the formation created by Ye Di at that time. There are some similarities.
It's just that Ye Chu's formation has the power to cut through the sky, but this formation is more delicate, like a staircase from the human world to the sky.
Ning would never be able to comprehend this formation.
But he can be sure that two hundred years ago, someone did ascend and leave from Baicheng.
What does this have to do with the fact that Zhao Xiang'er only left the flag of Jin State in this city
Ning stood on the Feixian Platform for a long time and looked sideways. This snow-white city can be seen almost as far as the eye can see.
There is only one road between Baicheng and Zhao State.
It is like an isolated island, existing here very unexpectedly.
Ning stood on the Feixian Platform for a long time, then turned around and left, walking down the platform again.
He walked around many historical sites in the city, and then heard someone in a restaurant talking about the ceremony of the leader of Yujian Tianzong.
"I heard that Master Lu, who has the most beautiful appearance in Nanzhou, is back?"
"Guanjue? Do you really dare to say such things when you think this place is not the land of the Zhao Kingdom? Although Lu Jianjian is famous, who has really seen it? Our Majesty killed King Jin alone in full view of everyone. .”
"There is no need to argue about this matter. It is said that Fairy Lu and our Majesty are still good friends."
"There are indeed rumors about this matter, and there are even rumors that the person Lu Xianzi likes is His Majesty's fiancé..."
"Although this statement is ridiculous, if it is true, then that person will be truly blessed... It is a pity that he will not be able to enjoy it."
"Now that Fairy Lu has returned to the peak, she must have let go of that relationship. Such a fairy will probably have to keep her integrity for the rest of her life."
“…”
Ning listened to the discussion for a long time, finished drinking the tea, and looked out the window.
The soldiers on the city tower changed their posts, and the people who had previously gone down to the city came here and sat around a table. Ning Jiujiu suddenly discovered that they all had a new flag on their waists - it was the flag of the State of Zhao.
Ning Jiuchuan frowned slightly.
In one afternoon, he visited many cities in Zhao State, but stopped in front of the Imperial City.
By the time he returned to Tianku Peak, the first day of the Sect Master's Ceremony had already come to an end.
On the second and third days, the masters of the four peaks will discuss swords and compete for the position of sect leader.
When Ning Changjiu went up the mountain, he saw Lu Yuanbai hiding at the foot of the mountain drinking. There was a male disciple beside him who joked, "When will Master Lu plan to pass the position of Peak Master to Lerou?"
Lu Yuanbai said sadly: "That little girl knows how to bully my uncle. If you have the ability, you can go find Lu Marry!"
The male disciple smiled and said, "Senior Sister Lerou must have contributed a lot to bringing Master back."
Lu Yuanbai sighed: "It's okay, the crazy woman has reached the end of her madness. Alas, from now on, Lu Jiaojian's Taoist heart will be clear, and no one will disturb her path of cultivation. It will only be a matter of time before she enters the five realms. Our Tianzong is really going to welcome us. It’s on the verge of a renaissance.”
The disciple said with fascination: "Five ways..."
Lu Yuanbai joked: "Yeah, but you have to be careful in the future. Disciples like that who pretend to be pigs and eat fairies must not be allowed to come up again."
Ning Jiujiu quietly advanced with his sword.
Outside the peak master's hall, Ning Changjiu was rejected.
"Why did you come back so late?" Lu Married said coldly: "Which fox did you go to see?"
Ning Jiujiu said: "I never thought that Marry would ask such a question one day."
Lu Marion snorted coldly: "Don't interrupt."
Ning Jiujiu said truthfully: "I went to Zhao State."
Lu Marian raised her eyebrows and asked, "Have you seen her?"
Ning Jiujiu shook his head and said, "I'm just going out for a walk. If I really want to see her, do I have to get the marriage approval first?"
"Stop lying." Lu Marian didn't believe it at all.
Ning Changjiu said: "Marry, open the door first, I'll go in and talk."
Lu Marian said: "I didn't know I was coming back for a day, but now I know?"
Ning Jiujiu said helplessly: "If Marry doesn't open the door again, I'm going to shout loudly."
After a moment, the door opened a crack. Ning Changjiu walked in, followed behind Lu Marian, and said helplessly: "It's only been half a month, and you have to be interrogated like this when you go out. No wonder those sword immortals can wield tens of millions of swords in one day only when they are young." The romance inside."
Lu Marian said: "I'm not afraid that you will bully other women."
Ning Jiujiu asked: "What is bullying?"
Lu Marry stopped, bit her lip slightly, and looked resentful: "In the daytime today, I..."
As she spoke, her face became hot, and she walked towards the ice jade bed angrily as she hesitated to speak.
Ning Jiujiu smiled softly, remembering the words of his senior sister, and continued to train Lu Jiaoyu's body and sword, making the sword and spirit become more perfect.
After everything was over, Lu Jianjian, who was feeling cold, was also dripping with sweat.
The sound of water dripping from the back of the palace, and the shadow of the moon in the hot spring pool shook.
The candles were lit in the main hall of the peak, and Lu Marry sat in front of the bronze mirror, wearing long hair that was still damp.
"Help me dress up." Lu Marian ordered.
Ning Jiujiu was stunned and said, "How can I do this? You are so beautiful without a face, so why do you need to put on makeup to look like a fox?"
Lu Married said with a smile: "I thought you knew everything."
These words were slightly sarcastic. Ning Jiujiu was irritated by these clumsy words. He rolled up his sleeves and said, "Okay, today I will teach you how to dress up."
With a smile on her face, Lu Marrying gently picked up the makeup brush from the table and handed it to him.
After all, Ning Jiuyu had learned to paint with Zhang Chengyu for three months, and he had some misunderstandings about his own painting skills.
He picked up the pen and painted Lu Marry's makeup.
It’s just that Lu Marian is already beautiful and flawless, how can she be painted more beautifully
So he found another way and planned to paint in an ugly way, to test whether his painting skills could overwhelm Lu Yuanjian's beauty.
Finally, the screams of pursuit rang out in the hall.
Ning Jiujiu was chased by Lu Jiumei, who had a big painted face, and was driven everywhere.
The night passed.
Lu Marry washed off her makeup angrily.
The second day of the Sect Master Ceremony was the much-anticipated Sword Master Sword Discussion.
Ning Jiujiu was not interested in this at first, but due to the pressure from Lu Jiaojie, he still changed his clothes, simply disguised himself and blended into the seat of a small sect.
Discussing swords can be divided into two parts: preaching and sword fighting.
Lu Jiaojiao’s opponent in the first round was Xue Xunxue.
Even Xue Xunxue himself didn't think he had any chance of winning.
So the two beautiful women from Tianzong did not so much compete with swords as they raised their swords and danced together for the guests.
White clothes and red skirts intertwined in the air, like dragons incarnated from snow and fire, entangled vigorously in the air, carving patterns in the thick clouds and falling snow, making the white clouds in the sky burn like fire.
The swords of both of them are not heavy, and their swordsmanship is also light and bright, and they can go away with one touch.
Lu Marion's Minglan sword has been destroyed. The current sword is newly forged. The sword's body is soft and not easy to break. The blade is hard, sharp and wear-resistant. The steel pattern is like snowflakes. It is a good sword, but the grade is different. The Immortal Sword of Xuanri Peak is hard to compare with.
But now Lu Marry is a sword.
Not only Sifeng, she is probably the best sword in Nanzhou.
No one present had any doubts about the outcome of this sword showdown. However, if the sword was struck in subtle ways, some would cheer loudly.
Xue Xunxue is already very powerful, but as a junior, Lu Jianjian is even stronger.
Ning Jiujiu looked at the figure of Lu Jiumei and Xueyi Xunxun on the Sifeng Jianping. Although Xue Xunxue's sword always carried the momentum of lightning passing through and swallowing anger, Lu Marion's sword was too fast and accurate. No matter where Xue Xunxue's sword came from, she could easily break it.
In the eyes of those with lower realms, this is a wonderful contest, but in the eyes of experts, it is a one-sided crushing situation.
Ning Changjiu was sitting when someone suddenly spoke to him: "Where did this little brother come from? How come I haven't seen him before?"
The person who spoke to him was a male disciple wearing black clothes and not having an outstanding appearance.
But those who can come with the sect to the ceremony are basically outstanding figures in the sect, so Ning Jiujiu did not underestimate him and said with a smile: "I am Zhang Jiu, a disciple of the Sword Sect, but there are too many people in the sect. , there is no seat, so Uncle Yazhu arranged me here, I apologize for any inconvenience."
"Congratulations again." The disciple returned the salute and said with admiration: "So you are a disciple of the Sword Sect. Your sect is now the largest sect in Nanzhou. It is very enviable."
"Where." Ning Changjiu smiled and said, "I wonder what sect you are from?"
The disciple who called himself He Guang scratched his head and seemed a little embarrassed to speak. He hesitated for a while and then said: "Our sect is in a remote and remote area. It is too small. It is a fluke to be invited."
"So your sect is..."
"Hehuan Sect."
"Oh..." Ning Jiujiu protracted his tone and said: "I have admired you for a long time. I have heard about your sect for a long time, and I have always wanted to make friends with your sect's disciples and learn some secret techniques that are in line with the great perfection of heaven and earth. It's a pity that your sect has been hidden in the world for too long. It’s a bit mysterious, I didn’t want to meet you by chance today.”
Seeing that his face was sincere and not fake, He Guang also clasped his fists and said: "As expected of a disciple of the Sword Sect, he is very discerning. The other sects are not big at all, but we look like we are heresy... The great perfection of heaven and earth, tsk tsk , Brother Zhang hit the nail on the head.”
After a few words of self-effacement, Ning came closer and asked, "I dare to ask Brother He if you have any sect secret skills that you can teach me. I'm quite interested in this."
He Guang asked curiously: "Brother, is he married?"
Ning Changjiu said: "Not yet, but I do have a fiancée in Zhao country."
"I guess she is a girl from your noble family..." He Guang said enviously: "She is indeed a disciple of the great sect. Our Hehuan Sect has to wait until the age is reached. The sect randomly assigns daughters-in-law, and we don't know what kind of one we can get by then. .”
Ning Jiujiu said: "Looking at your noble features, brother, I will surely win over the most beautiful junior sister in your sect when the time comes."
He Guang cupped his hands and said, "Thank you for the congratulations, brother, but... it's just that most of the inner secrets of this sect are kept secret."
Ning pondered for a moment and said: "I also have a secret that is not allowed to be passed on, if not..."
The two looked at each other, consciously moved to the back of the crowd, and began to communicate.
He Guang seemed to be afraid that this Sword Sect disciple would underestimate him, so he wanted to show off his skills first: "I'll teach you how to tell whether a woman is a virgin first."
"Appreciate further details."
He Guang began to explain to him the inner secrets, first the steps, and then some subtle movements. As he spoke, the competition on the sword field had come to an end, and Lu Marion won without any doubt.
After He Guang finished explaining his skills, he began to secretly give advice.
Ning Jiujiu listened with great interest, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Then look at that Fairy Lu..."
He Guang cursed angrily: "Stupid, Fairy Lu is the number one female swordsman in Nanzhou, so she is undoubtedly a virgin! How can a disciple like you ask such a question? Are you trying to deceive your master and destroy your ancestors?"
Ning Jiujiu nodded repeatedly, asking him to calm down, and then exchanged some sword skills with He Guang.
Lu Marry, who was on the sword field, glanced over accidentally and wondered what Ning Changjiu was talking about there. Of course, at this moment, she didn't know what new tricks she would experience in the coming nights.
The next match was a sword duel between Jing Yangxia and Xue Lin. There was also no suspense in this match.
During this period, Lu Marion disappeared quietly for a period of time, and Ning Jiujiu also walked away for a while in the name of relieving herself. About half an hour later, Ning Jiujiu came back. I wonder if it was a coincidence. After a while, Lu Marry's figure also disappeared. Reappeared outside the sword field.
The sword competition on the first day ended quickly, and tomorrow was the duel between Lu Jiaui and Jing Yangxia.
That was the most eye-catching scene in the Sword Sect.
And Ning Jiujiu knew that there would be no suspense in this sword showdown either.
Another day and night passed in the blink of an eye.
Ning Jiujiu exchanged his thoughts with the male disciple named He Guang. He Guang praised him and said: "Brother Zhang, look at your expression. It must have been a spring night again last night. I don't know which senior sister in your sect pointed it at me." have a look?"
Ning Jiujiu praised: "Brother He has such good eyesight."
He Guang said proudly: "Of course... Um, that's not right. Didn't you say that your fiancée is in Zhao country? How..."
"..." Ning Changjiu was speechless for a while.
He Guang suddenly understood and admired him even more: "The little sword fairy of the Sword Sect, the daughter of the Wang family in the world, she is really enjoying the blessings of all the people. I wonder where Brother Zhang is from..."
Ning Changjiu said: "Private Taoist couples are not allowed in the sect. I'm sorry, brother, but I have no comment."
He Guang expressed understanding.
The two started talking again.
Ning Jiujiu discovered that this disciple was not an ordinary outstanding disciple. He had his own unique insights into Hehuan, from the yin and yang induction between heaven and man to the blending of the true self of the heart and soul with the outer self. He had unique insights.
It wasn't until the opening of that unprecedented battle that they all looked away.
Lu Marry was dressed in white and had a sword on her waist. Xia Jingyang was dressed in frosty linen and had a sword on her back. They stood opposite each other without saying a word, but the faint sword intention was like cicadas caged in the sky. Wings illuminate the sword field world with countless misaligned lights.
"Lu Marion, although you are a junior, I will not give in to you because of this." Jing Yangxia said.
Lu Marian made a sword salute: "Master Jingfeng, just draw your sword."
Jing Yangxia said with emotion: "Two years ago, when Zitian Dao Sect came to the peak, I realized three sword intentions between life and death. At that time, these three sword intentions were incomplete. Later, I visited Dachuan, Nanzhou, and finally These three sword bones were given shape and spirit."
Lu Marry looked solemn: "This junior is willing to hear the details."
Jingyang Xia Mai moved, her rough hands covered the sheath on her waist, then she slid up little by little, and suddenly grasped the hilt of the sword. The moment he grasped the hilt of the sword, his old eyebrows seemed to be covered with autumn frost. Beside him, pieces of white light were flying and moving, and it was hard to tell whether it was frost or a sword.
Lu Marry also held the scabbard. When Jing Yangxia held the hilt, she pushed with her left thumb at the same time. The sword was half an inch away from her mouth, and the cold light was already threatening.
The whole place was silent, and the noisy sound of the wind seemed to be extinguished by the sword.
The two stood quietly, each gathering his strength, but neither one drew his sword first.
"Who do you think will win?" He Guang asked.
"Of course it's Lu Marion." Ning Changjiu said.
He Guang said in surprise: "How brave, how dare you call your peak master by his name!"
The last sound of the name was swallowed up by the sound of swords.
In an instant, there seemed to be thunder falling from the sky, and a crack was split in the thick clouds above the center of the sword field.
The Bixiao Sword was unsheathed and drew a complete arc in front of him. The light when it was unsheathed was as clear as water. After drawing the arc of the sword, the sword intention formed a field. It spread continuously in a circle to the surroundings. At the same time, the thick clouds in the sky were also dispersed, and countless skylights scattered down, just covering Jing Yangxia's body, making the Bixiao Sword in his hand as bright as frost. .
When the sword intention spread across the domain, Jing Yangxia shouted loudly: "Kill the python!"
The sky light emitted by the Bixiao Sword turned into the real sword intention. Jing Yangxia dwarfed, and the sword in his hand slashed diagonally along his figure. This was Tianzong's Dahe Rudu style starting move, but he forcibly converted it into form and meaning. When the sword intention was about to scatter, as his hand twisted the hilt, he suddenly twisted and gathered, and the heavy rain turned into Become a roaring water dragon.
This sword almost frightened the attention of everyone present.
When the sword intention was just rising, Lu Yuanjie also moved. Her movements were even simpler, incredibly simple!
It was an action of drawing a sword.
No one saw clearly the action of her drawing the sword out of its sheath. They only saw a flash of white light in front of them, and then the sound of thunder exploded, but the thunder did not originate from the blade, but from the blade. in the sheath. When the sword was unsheathed, what exploded at the same time was the warm meaning in the sheath!
The white light flashed off.
In this short moment, before the wind could even blow her hair, the snow-white sword light flew dozens of feet in front of Jing Yangxia.
The moment the water dragon hit the white light, the clouds in the sky instantly turned into the cracked ground during a severe drought. And their figures also jumped up at the same time, crashing into the clouds.
The edge of the cloud, which was too thick to measure, was instantly torn apart, while the center was stirred into a huge vortex.
Two figures shuttled through the clouds, either drawing straight lines or huge arcs. During the duel between masters of the Purple Court Realm, the celestial phenomena were also triggered. In just a few breaths, the four peaks The wind was blowing violently, and there was a hint of impending mountain rain.
This battle was recorded in the history of Nanzhou Kendo and became the Three Swords of Bixiao.
Jing Yangxia used three swords in total, namely killing the python, swallowing the dragon, and moving the mountain.
Although he is the Three Swords of Bixiao, it is just the book's respect for him, not that he is the final winner.
The wind became stronger and stronger, lightning flashed in the clouds, and then the sound of real thunder came.
Ning Changjiu stood up suddenly and walked towards the main hall.
"Brother Zhang, where are you going?" He Guang noticed his departure.
Ning Jiujiu said: "It's going to rain. Let's go to the palace to wait for the ceremony of succeeding as the sect leader."
He Guang frowned, thinking that it might be to the Bixiao Palace. How can you be so sure that it is the main hall of your Tianku Peak
As soon as he had this thought, two figures fell from the clouds.
They returned to their initial stand still, unable to tell who was winning and who was losing.
The weather was gloomy, and the dispersed clouds gathered again toward the center, like gray tides.
In the depressing atmosphere, a tiny drop of rain suddenly fell from the clouds.
When the first raindrop was halfway down, Lu Jiaojiao stretched out her finger and cut it accurately from the center. Then she retracted and flicked her jade finger and hit Jing Yangxia.
Jingyang Xia's old eyes raised, he flicked his sleeves and pointed at the raindrops that were flying towards him.
Snap.
Between Jing Yangxia's fingers, half a raindrop was wrapped in his sword energy, condensing and not dissipating. The other half of the drop passed through the side of his finger and hit the skirt of his clothes, forming a very light water stain.
"Jingfeng Lord accepts the concession."
Lu Marian sheathed her sword.
With a crash, heavy rain fell.
