World of Honor

Chapter 60: Mountaineering

Views:

Jimo Sword City is the home of the Jimo clan. With the efforts of several generations, the huge Jimo City was finally built. Because all the disciples practiced swordsmanship, Jimo City was honored as the Sword City. The three generations of city lords were honored as sword immortals by the heroes of the martial arts world, which further established the status of Jimo City in the martial arts world. However, after Jimo Jingzhu died, many people believed that Jimo Sword City was about to decline, because the successor to the position of city lord was just a little girl who had never been to the martial arts world.

But three days after the second disciple of the academy, Nan Yulou, went to Jimo Sword City to ask for a sword, most of the sword masters in the martial arts world began to rush to Jimo Sword City with swords in hand. Because Nan Yulou, who had swept all the sword masters in the martial arts world in the past year, was defeated in his first battle with Jimo Huaxue.

"Your swordsmanship is pretty good." Jimo Huaxue looked at the man lying on the ground with his head raised and staring blankly at the sky. "What's your name?"

"Flowing water." Nan Yulou murmured.

"It's a good name." Jimo Huaxue turned around and said, "What a pity, I'm stronger."

"I want to fight again." Nan Yulou said suddenly.

"Okay." Jimo Huaxue didn't know why she felt a little happy in her heart, and agreed readily, "You stay here to recuperate for a few days. After you recover, I will fight you again."

Seven days later, Nan Yulou once again took up his sword to challenge Jimo Huaxue. Unlike the last time, this time there were at least thirty sword masters watching the fight. It was said that even the Sword Demon from Demon City was hiding among them, watching this duel that was enough to amaze the world.

The reason why it was so amazing was that the two people's kendo level had absolutely reached an unimaginable level. Many people even said after they came back that Jimo Huaxue's kendo attainments were higher than Jimo Jingzhu.

Another reason is that both of them are too young. One is the beautiful Lord of Sword City, and the other is a handsome and elegant student of the Academy. This sword duel is like a love legend that appears in novels and stories.

The final result of this battle was a draw.

Jimo Huaxue and Nan Yulou put away their swords at the same time at the last moment and finally passed each other.

"I didn't win this time." Jimo Huaxue said lightly.

Nan Yulou smiled and said, "You didn't lose either."

"Do you want to fight again?" Jimo Huaxue asked.

"I like the bamboo tea from Jimo Jiancheng very much. I would like to stay here for a few more days." Nan Yulou replied.

"Bamboo tea is something only old men drink. How about I treat you to plum blossom tea?" Jimo Huaxue said with a smile.

"How can there be plum blossoms in this season?" Nan Yulou was puzzled.

"In winter, it snows and the flowers fall. Collect the snow covering the plum blossoms and freeze them in the cellar. Take them out in the summer, melt them into water and make tea. It tastes very good." Jimo Huaxue walked forward.

Nan Yulou turned around and said, "Huaxue, Huaxue. Jimo Huaxue."

The kendo masters left one after another. They had seen the amazing swordsmanship in the battle and were already satisfied. As for the subsequent stories, they should have been better without them.

The old man Tianwu who evaluated the Tianwu list said to his disciples after he returned, "After Cang Yue, there is still a sword immortal in Jimo, dressed in red, very stunning, he can be called the Red-robed Sword Immortal. Send this list to Jimo City and ask the Lord of Jimo City if he likes the words "Red Robe"."

"Can't we call her the most beautiful sword fairy?" Jimo Huaxue replied to the disciples of Tianwu Pavilion.

The disciple must have been confused by the question and did not dare to answer for a long time.

"I think the red dress is very nice. When I first saw it, I couldn't see anything clearly and could only see the red dress." The man sitting next to Jimo Huaxue said with a smile.

"Okay, then it must be the Red-robed Sword Immortal." Jimo Huaxue smiled, "Thank Elder Tianwu for me."

The fourth sword immortal of Jimo City was born in this way. After listening to his disciple's story, Elder Tianwu stroked his long beard and said faintly: "It seems that we need to prepare a gift. Jimo Sword City is going to have a happy event."

The third duel between Nan Yulou and Jimo Huaxue never came. Nan Yulou lived in Jimo City for a summer and winter. When the spring came, Nan Yulou finally said goodbye to Jimo Huaxue. He wanted to return to the academy, meet the Confucian sage, ask the sage to grant him marriage, and then bring a group of gentlemen and his beloved little sister to Jimo City to propose marriage. But before Nan Yulou was halfway out of the city to Shili Langyao, he met the messenger sent by the academy to find him.

The messenger brought very bad news.

At this point in the story, Jimo Huaxue stopped talking. She looked far ahead, her mind seemed to have wandered away, back to the year when she and Nan Yulou parted.

"Lord of Jimo City, what is the news?" Su Baiyi asked.

Jimo Huaxue shook her head: "I don't want to mention it, let your senior sister tell you."

Nangong Xier frowned slightly: "Me? I don't know. After Second Senior Brother went down the mountain, I only heard from my fellow senior brothers that he defeated all the masters in the world and finally ranked third on the Tianwu Ranking, almost becoming the real number one in the world."

"You don't know?" Jimo Huaxue turned around with a look of horror, "Then do you know how he died?"

"My fellow brothers said that Second Brother was ambushed during a duel, and that's why he died." Nangong Xier's eyes widened. "Is there another hidden story?"

"It seems that the senior brothers in the academy really dote on you." Jimo Huaxue turned around and calmed herself down. "The news brought by the academy's messenger that day was that Shanglin Tiangong already knew that you were hiding in the academy, and they were preparing to send people to Shili Langyao to take you away. You are a remnant of the Demon Sect, and even if you don't kill you, you must be imprisoned. And the first moment your second senior brother got the news, he didn't return to the academy, but went straight to Weilong Mountain with his sword."

"From the foot of the mountain to the top, it only took one hour for one man and one sword. There were hundreds of masters blocking the way in the three floors and six courtyards of Shanglin Tiangong, but no one could last a single sword in his hand. Even after the four chief seats and three deputy building masters came, they were completely unable to stop your second senior brother's sword intent. In the past hundred years, your second senior brother is the only one who has beaten the entire Shanglin Tiangong family to the ground. At that time, Xie Kanhua was rumored to be dead. Helian Xiyue claimed that the matter had nothing to do with him and was unwilling to fight. Bai Jile was not on Weilong Mountain. In the end, the only one who could fight was Ning Qingcheng, the Grand Palace Master of Shanglin Tiangong. Your second senior brother fought a decisive battle with Ning Qingcheng on the top of Weilong Mountain, and finally severely injured Ning Qingcheng, forcing him to promise that from now on Shanglin Tiangong would never dare to cause you any trouble. Even to this day, Ning Qingcheng is still in seclusion to recover from his injuries. But your second senior brother's true energy was greatly damaged because of this battle. After hearing about this, I went out of the city to find him and met him in Bai Ze City. We got married there and became husband and wife."

"Three days later, your second senior brother died. It was nine days earlier than the Tianwu Ranking officially ranked him third in the world."
