Jiang Xu wandered around in the sword forest for two full hours. Finally, he stood in front of a three-meter-high boulder, and his eyes fell directly on the boulder, on the long sword.
It was a very ordinary looking sword, its shape was very simple and simple, neither fancy nor gorgeous, it looked very ordinary. However, bright golden rays of light bloomed from its sword body, giving people a feeling of holiness, solemnity, and unattainability.
"Like this sword?" Looking at his wife, Liu Mufeng asked with a smile.
Hearing this, Jiang Xu turned his head to look at his man. "Mu Feng, I think this sword is very suitable for me. I think it has been waiting for me!"
Hearing what his wife said, Liu Mufeng was delighted. "There is an introduction to the ancient text on the stele, may I read it to you?"
"Okay!" Nodding, Jiang Xu looked at the ancient characters on the boulder that he didn't know, and after a visual inspection, he found that there were many words on the stone tablet. I don't know what is written on it.
"My name is Murong Jianfeng, and I am the master of the sword domain, the thirty-eighth generation sword emperor of Jiancheng. The cold star is my sword. I ascended to the god realm, and I specially leave the cold star here, as a gift to my descendants who are destined. Hanxing is made of star-shining stones, absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon, and nourishing the body of a fairy. It is absolutely extraordinary. In my life, I suddenly realized the seventy-seven and forty-nine styles of star swordsmanship, and Hanxing has won the essence. If there is a chance , can decipher forty-nine star maps, Han Xing must follow. If each star map cannot be deciphered within three days, you have to start all over again. I hope that my descendants will treat Han Xing kindly!" Looking at the words on the stone tablet, Liu Mufeng translated the meaning on the stone tablet over again.
"Han Xing? Is that the name of the sword? It's called Han Xing?" Looking at Liu Mufeng, Jiang Xu asked in surprise.
"Well, its name is Han Xing, and its owner has already ascended to the God Realm. It is refined from a rare star stone. It contains the power of stars and is very spiritual. It is indeed suitable for you !" Liu Mufeng said with a smile, seeing that he was very nervous.
"Well, I also think he is very suitable for me!" Nodding, Jiang Xu thought so too.
"Forty-nine star maps will appear during the contract. This is the test given to you by the Hanxing Sword. If you can pass the test, you can succeed in the contract. However, each star map will only appear for three days. If you break through the previous If you don't decipher the tenth of the nine star maps within three days, then you have to start all over again!" Looking at his lover, Liu Mufeng instructed carefully.
"Well, I know. Mu Feng, don't worry, I have confidence, I can definitely contract it!" Speaking of this, Jiang Xu is very confident.
"Okay then, try the contract, I'll protect you!" Liu Mufeng waved his sleeves, and a translucent barrier immediately enveloped an area 30 meters away from the Star Sword.
"Yeah!" Nodding, Jiang Xu flew to the boulder, stood on the stone, and Jiang Xu approached the Hanxing Sword.
"Han Xing, here I come!" As he said, Jiang Xu bent down and dripped his own blood on the blade.
The golden light immediately absorbed the drop of blood, and soon, a star map emerged.
Raising his head, looking at the star map in the sky, Jiang Xu narrowed his eyes. Standing up slowly, he flew down from the boulder and landed on the ground. Raising his hand, a long sword appeared in Jiang Xu's hand. Jiang Xu soared into the sky, and a cold sword energy flew out from the blade, and slashed at the star map.
Jiang Xu's blade turned into a golden ray of light, directly chopping up the first star map.
"Wow, it's broken. The first star map is broken. It took a cup of tea, but it only took a cup of tea!"
"No, it's impossible? How could it be so easy?"
"Yeah, that's the star map? Is it the star map left by the thirty-eighth generation of sword emperors?"
"Who is this sword cultivator? It's amazing!"
"It seems to be the second concubine of the Dragon Clan!"
"The second concubine of the Dragon Clan? That's no wonder!"
Seeing the first star map appear, it took only a cup of tea to shatter, and a few monks who were choosing swords in the sword forest immediately ran over to watch the excitement. The other sword cultivators who saw the star map also gathered towards this side.
However, Liu Mufeng set up a barrier early in the morning, so the monks who came to watch the fun could only stand outside the barrier and discuss, unable to get close to Liu Mufeng and Jiang Xu, and even less able to disturb them.
Soon, the second star map emerged and appeared in the sky again.
Holding the long sword in his hand, Jiang Xu stood on the ground, looking up at the star map intently.
Looking at his lover beside him who was obsessively staring at the star map, Liu Mufeng's gaze stayed on his lover all the time. Always be by your lover's side to protect each other.
…………………
City Lord's Mansion. The Sword Emperor and his four sons are practicing swords in the sword room.
Suddenly, the Sword Emperor felt someone knocking on his barrier outside the door. Frowning, the Sword Emperor withdrew his moves and looked at his four sons. "Let's practice here today!"
"Yes, Father Jun!" Although he was still a bit unsatisfied and wanted to watch his father demonstrate again, but seeing his father put away his moves and even put away his sword, the four of them couldn't say anything more. They could only put away their swords.
With a flick of his sleeve, the Sword Emperor opened the barrier, and the old butler hurried in. "His Majesty!"
"What's the matter?" The Sword Emperor knew that the steward was not a person who didn't understand the rules. If there was no serious matter, he would never come here to disturb him and his sons practicing sword at this time.
"Your Majesty, Jiang Xu, the second concubine of the Dragon Clan, has gone to Jianlin. He is contracting Han Xing now, and four star maps have been broken in three hours." Looking at his master, the old butler spoke the truth.
"What? Four star maps were broken in three hours. How is it possible? Impossible?" Shaking his head, the First Prince's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Four star maps are limited to twelve days, and my best result is eight days. On average, two days are required to break one star map. Unexpectedly, it only took Jiang Xu three hours." At this point, the second prince frowned.
"The old slave heard from the steward at Jianlin that Jiang Xu only took a cup of tea to break the first star map. The second star map only took a stick of incense. It took half an hour, if it wasn't for the delay on the fourth star map, it wouldn't take three hours." Speaking of this, the housekeeper frowned.
Hearing this, the five father and son were dumbfounded.
"That is to say, it only took him two hours and a cup of tea to break the fourth star map?" Thinking of this, the eldest prince's face was extremely ugly. Because, he also tried to contract Han Xing, but it took him two full days to break through the fourth star map. Unexpectedly, Jiang Xu only took two hours!
"Yes, yes!" Nodding, the old housekeeper said yes.
"Four star maps were broken in three hours. It seems that Han Xing is about to be contracted by Jiang Xu to leave!" At this point, the second prince sighed softly. In fact, five of their brothers, even the father-in-law tried to contract Hanxing, but none of the six father and son succeeded.
"Second brother, you are too pessimistic! There are only four star maps, it's still early!" After thinking about it, the third prince felt that this matter would not be so easy.
"No, the star chart at the beginning is simpler, but it becomes more difficult as you go on. How can Jiang Xu, a child with a yellow mouth, be able to contract a sword that Jun's father can't contract?" Speaking of this, the eldest prince looked contemptuous .
"No, don't underestimate this Jiang Xu. He broke through four star maps in three hours. He does have some skills!" Although the Sword Emperor himself can do this kind of thing. However, Emperor Jian understood that Jiang Xu was much smaller than him, and his strength was also a bit weaker than him. Compared with the two sides, Jiang Xu is naturally more talented than him.
"Father, what should we do then? Han Xing won't be contracted by Jiang Xu to leave, right? That's the sword left by my great-grandfather!" Looking at his father, the fifth prince said anxiously.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look!" Frowning, the Sword Emperor left the sword room with his four sons.
… … … … … … …
sword forest,
At this moment, sixty or seventy people had already surrounded Hanxing Sword. These monks are all sword cultivators, and they all came to the sword forest to find famous swords. Because they saw Jiang Xu's broken star map, they all gathered to watch. Fortunately, the environment here in Jianlin is quite special, and people outside Jianlin cannot see the star map, otherwise, there will be more monks watching the excitement.
Fei fell outside Liu Mufeng's barrier, and the five father and son also stood among the spectators.
"Greetings to His Majesty the Sword Emperor!" Seeing the person coming, the other monks hurriedly saluted.
"Don't be too polite!" Waving his hand, the Sword Emperor summoned the steward of Jianlin.
"Your Majesty!" Walking over, the steward with the strength of the Immortal King came to the Sword Emperor respectfully.
"What's going on?" Looking at the other party, Sword Emperor Xun asked.
"Your Majesty, the second prince and concubine of the Dragon Clan came five hours ago. After they came, they walked around the sword forest for two hours. Finally, the second concubine chose Han Xing and began to contract Han Xing!" Looking at his master, the steward replied immediately.
"The first star map was broken in just a cup of tea?"
"yes!"
"The second star map was broken in just one stick of incense?"
"yes!"
"The third star map was broken in half an hour?"
"yes!"
Seeing the steward repeatedly saying yes, the Sword Emperor couldn't help but frowned.
"It took two hours and a cup of tea to break the fourth star map?" Looking at the steward, the eldest prince asked again.
"Ah, no, no, on the fourth star map, it took only one hour for the second concubine to break open. In the remaining hour, the second concubine and the second prince had a barbecue. They also ate three fairy fruits!" Shaking his head , the steward answered carefully.
"What?" Upon receiving this answer, the eldest prince was furious. An hour is actually an hour! ! !
Hearing this, the other three princes were also shocked. An hour, an hour broke the fourth star map! It only took an hour, how did Jiang Xu do it
