My apprentice is too diligent.

Chapter 214 [214] Goodbye Magical Words (two-in-one, please subscribe)
The five cities of the Five Cities Sword Sect are Yunlan, Feilai, Xinluan, Hongye, and Datang.

These five cities were built around Xiaoli Mountain in turn.

The distance between them is no more than thirty miles.

The distance is short, and the population of the residents of the five cities is naturally not large.

Each city has less than fifty thousand.

Hongye City, the smallest one, has a population of just over [-].

The reason why the five cities united and developed into a top sword sect was famous in Fengzhou, resounding throughout the Qing Dynasty, and even famous in other dynasties.

The reason lies in Xiaoli Mountain, which is surrounded by five cities. There is a historic site in the mountain.

About 800 years ago, this historic site was discovered. Although there are no treasures inside, there are several stone walls that contain the secrets of the sword. As long as you understand the mysteries, you can go faster and further along the way of the sword.

Those with outstanding talents can create their own swordsmanship.

For this reason, the large and small forces in the five cities fought over each other, and many people died.

After fighting to the end, due to various reasons, they had to join forces and swore a blood oath to jointly protect the secrets of the monuments.

Then, slowly develop and create a series of swordsmanship and sword techniques that are either profound or mysterious.

The Five Cities Sword Sect was thus formed.

And based on the different sword techniques, the disciples in the sect are divided into five branches.

The position of the leader is occupied by the five meridians who compete with each other in turn.

The location of the sword fighting competition held every five years is not in any of the five cities, but in Xiaoli Mountain.

Although Xiaoli Mountain has a small word, it is not just a mountain, but a small mountain range.

A valley in the mountain was opened up specifically as the location for the sword fighting convention.

After hundreds of years of development.

Several towns have already been formed on the outskirts of the valley, and the residents in the towns are mainly families of disciples of the Five Cities Sword Sect.

When the grand ceremony comes every five years, these towns will gather swordsmen from all over Toyoshu.

Nan Jinyu, Chen Qingning, and Nangong Sanniang are one of them.

After leaving Linjiang City, I asked for the route and went straight to Xiaoli Mountain. I followed the mountain road that had been opened for hundreds of years and entered one of the towns. I found an inn that was not fully booked to stay.

Later, inquire about the ceremony.

As a result, in the inn lobby, I heard swordsmen discussing.

At first, Chen Qingning and the others just listened. Halfway through, Chen Qingning couldn't help but say, "Everyone on the stage must suppress their cultivation in the body refining realm? Why is this?"

"Because what we are competing is swordsmanship, a kendo competition, not a martial arts competition."

The shopkeeper of the inn said with a smile, "In the martial arts competition, cultivation is of course the foundation. Participants will be divided into several groups based on their cultivation and age. For example, there will be a group of young people, a group of middle-aged people, and a group of people over 60 years old. A group."

"However, the sword competition is naturally about swords! Sword skills, swordsmanship, sword intention, and attainments in swordsmanship!"

“This way, everyone can go out and compete without having to be divided into different brackets.”

"That's right." Chen Qingning suddenly realized.

Kendo competition is not just about swords.

Of course, even if you suppress your cultivation to the body refining level, there will still be casualties, after all, it is a sword fight.

If a person with excellent sword skills faces someone with average sword skills, the former will undoubtedly be stronger.

However, the people from the Five Cities Sword Sect will stand guard and try to ensure that there are no casualties.

"The competition is about sword skills, but what if someone loses control over their cultivation during the competition?" Chen Qingning thought of something and asked again.

"Is this your first time here, little girl?" A middle-aged man beside him spoke gently and continued, "There is a formation in the sword competition place. Once you enter the formation, your cultivation will be suppressed. You can only use it to your fullest potential. The power of the body refining realm. Therefore, unless the person who draws the sword is stronger than the formation, the cultivation level will return to normal after breaking the formation."

"And once the formation is broken, the masters of the Five Cities Sword Sect have already reacted and stopped the sword competition."

"Yes." The innkeeper agreed, "In terms of safety, it's still okay. As far as I know, in the past thirty years of sword competitions, no more than one hand died, and not many were injured."

"Haha, if there were too many casualties, no one would come to participate."

"No. Everyone is here to learn the sword, not to die."

"The problem is that the ones ranked high in sword fighting have high rewards!"

"Speaking of this, shopkeeper, do you know what the top ten rewards for sword fighting are this year?" someone shouted.

"According to previous practice, the reward standards will be announced tomorrow morning." The innkeeper said with a smile, "On the square in the center of the town, the top ten specific rewards will be announced tomorrow. You can go and take a look then, if you are interested Yes, you must play."

"Haha, that goes without saying."

"I remember that the reward for being number one last time was three Earth Yuan Great Pills. I don't know what it will be this year."

"Hiss~ Are you sure it's the Earth Yuan Great Pill, not the Ren Yuan Great Pill?"

"Are you even trying to lie to me? Everyone who participated last time knows this. I remember that the last person to take away the Diyuan Great Pill was a great swordsmanship sect from the Huoyun Mansion to the west."

"He's from the Red Sword Sect. I also remember that the one who wielded the sword was a genius disciple in his early twenties. He is at the third level of Feitian Realm. His swordsmanship talent is extremely good."

"Tsk, there's no way to compare with those geniuses, and I don't have high requirements. I just need to be in the top ten. Well, No. 10 will be fine!"

"If you want to be in the top ten, you must at least understand a kind of sword intent. Have you understood it?"

"..."

……

In the lobby, a group of swordsmen staying in the hotel were discussing excitedly.

Chen Qingning listened with great interest. After a while, she withdrew her gaze, looked at Nan Jinyu, and whispered, "Third Senior Sister, do you want to participate too? I think with your swordsmanship, it is absolutely no problem to enter the top ten." !”

"Let's talk." Nan Jinyu, who was wearing a veil, replied calmly.

"The specific rewards will be announced tomorrow, right?" Nangong Sanniang said with a smile, "It will be clear when we go to see it tomorrow. By then, if there are prizes you like, it is not too late to participate. Of course, those who want to compete can also superior."

Speaking of this, Nangong Sanniang looked at Nan Jinyu a few more times.

After she joined Qianlongmen, she began to concentrate on recovering from her injuries.

After recovering from the injury, he contacted all the disciples and found that Nan Jinyu was the most outstanding among them.

He is a true swordsman genius.

Breaking through the Feitian realm is only a matter of time, and the Shenqiao realm is not a problem either.

Chen Qingning is also very talented.

But he is lazy and likes to eat, drink and play more.

If you really put your mind to it, your cultivation will be higher.

such a pity……

……

When swordsmen gather together, conflicts are inevitable.

That night, when Chen Qingning was in the room, she heard more than three fighting sounds coming from outside.

Once, it was less than thirty feet away from the inn.

Chen Qingning was so embarrassed that she immediately grabbed her sword and ran to Nan Jinyu's room next door.

Not scared, but excited.

In the event of an impact, she was considering whether to take action, and if so, to what extent should she take action?
Unfortunately, the fighting outside quickly stopped.

The patrol guards of the Five Cities Sword Sect are no joke.

Over the course of the night, there were some conflicts, but they all subsided quickly.

The next day, early in the morning.

After having breakfast, Chen Qingning, Nan Jinyu, and Nangong Sanniang left the inn and headed to the central square of the town.

When we arrived, many people had gathered in the square.

They are all swordsmen who carry long swords on their backs, or hold double swords, short swords, or broad swords.A group of people gathered together and talked a lot.

After waiting for a while, members of the Five Cities Sword Sect came to the central square holding a box in their hands.

With everyone watching, the box is opened to reveal a special stone.

When the true energy was injected into it, a curtain of light suddenly projected out from the stone and appeared in mid-air.

"Picture Stone?"

"It's amazing. As expected of the Five Cities Sword Sect, there are also such strange stones."

"Stop talking, look at the projected content. What is shown above are the top ten rewards for this sword fight."

"Hiss, No. 1 is a treasured sword? A rank-[-] treasured weapon!"

"It feels not as good as the No. 1 reward from the previous session. The fourth-level treasure weapon is not as good as the Earth Yuan Great Pill."

"Look carefully. The attributes of this fourth-turn treasured sword are complete with five elements, which can basically satisfy most of the kendo techniques. It is more comprehensive. No matter who holds it in the hand, its power can be exerted. This kind of Treasure soldiers are especially precious to the sect."

"That's true. Take a look at the reward for No. 2, it is a Earth Yuan Great Pill. Haha, there is indeed a Earth Yuan Great Pill! The Five Cities Sword Sect is willing to give it up."

"Hey, it would be great if it was the Tianyuan Great Pill... Look at what I do, and I'll tell you, what's wrong?"

"What the hell are you thinking! Even if the Five Cities Sword Sect has the Tianyuan Great Pill, they won't take it out. Take a look at the No. 3 reward, a stone tablet? Looking at the introduction, it's a stone that contains sword intent, left behind thousands of years ago. The stone tablet that came down. Facing the stone tablet and studying it can deepen your understanding of swordsmanship and comprehend the meaning of the sword, which is of great help. This is good, after all, we are all swordsmen, and improving our swordsmanship is our pursuit!"

"Yes, yes, although it cannot be used directly, if this stone tablet is used well, it can still play a great role. Whether it is for an individual or the entire sect."

"..."

A group of people were in the square, looking at the scene projected into the air, and talking about it.

The contents on the photo stone are introduced one by one.

Starting with the reward for Sword Fighting No. 1, the specific rewards are projected and presented one by one for everyone to see.

It's the kind of image that can be seen from any angle.

"Not bad, not bad, the reward is very high, it's exciting." Chen Qingning raised her neck, looked at the picture in the sky, and muttered.

"Let's go." Nan Jinyu turned around and walked back.

"Ah, are you done reading now?" Chen Qingning heard this and hurriedly followed behind, "Let's take another look. It's okay to go back anyway."

"Then continue reading." Nan Jinyu responded without looking back.

"Okay, okay, just go back." Chen Qingning said helplessly, "Speaking of which, we can only look at these rewards. If you want to get them, I don't have the ability. Third Senior Sister, you should be able to do it. What do you think, Third Senior Sister, do you have any? What do you like?"

Chen Qingning muttered as she walked.

Nangong Sanniang shook her head and laughed, then followed behind.

Wait until we get back to the inn.

Nan Jinyu's face straightened up, he pulled Nangong Sanniang and said in a deep voice, "Dragon Protector Jade, is there any way to contact the master?"

"Huh? What's the matter with you?" Nangong Sanniang was confused, "It's a bit far from Baihe City. We can't contact the sect owner through normal methods."

"Routine doesn't work, but emergency can do?" Nan Jinyu asked.

"Yes." Nangong Sanniang nodded, "Jinyu, are you in a hurry? If it's not particularly urgent, the same thing will happen after we go back..."

"It's best to ask Master to come over for this matter." Nan Jinyu did not explain, but just insisted, "Master will know the seriousness of the matter when he comes over."

"...Okay, let's go to Fengyun Tower."

Nangong Sanniang stopped asking and introduced, "Fengyun Tower has a message delivery service, but the price is very high. They have high-end communication treasures. To activate it once, it requires a varying number of energy stones."

"Then go to Fengyun Tower!" Nan Jinyu said seriously, "Go now."

"Okay, let's go back to Linjiang City where we landed. There is Fengyunlou branch there."

Nangong Sanniang simply picked it up, saluted, and walked outside.

Nan Jinyu quickly followed.

"Hey, wait, wait, are you really going to Fengyun Tower?" Chen Qingning chased after him and asked in surprise, "Is there something urgent that requires spending energy stones to call Master over?"

Nan Jinyu, "You don't need to know."

"I..." Chen Qingning rolled her eyes angrily, but didn't ask any more questions.

He followed helplessly.

The room occupied by three people was not canceled but was extended for a few days.

……

We left Xiaoli Mountain without stopping and returned to Linjiang City.

I found Fengyun Tower in the city and spent most of the money I brought out to send the letter.

The content of the letter is very brief.

"Jin Yu is dreaming again. I hope Master will come soon."

If you are not a person involved, you cannot understand the meaning of this sentence at all.

I got distracted and thought the relationship between the two was ambiguous.

I can't sleep at night and need comfort.

However, in fact, it was Nan Jinyu who saw another line of familiar text.

Chen Wuji once let Nan Jinyu read the ancient characters.

The kind of magical and kind ancient writing that Nan Jinyu had seen in her dream!
The reward just announced for the Five Cities Sword Sect Sword Fighting Ranking, the No. 3 ancient stone tablet, has many lines on it.

In the eyes of others, these lines are just traces left by time, or the texture of the stone tablet itself, which is not surprising.

However, when Nan Jinyu saw it for the first time, his eyes were straight.

However, she remembered Chen Wuji's original teachings.

No matter when or where you see this kind of ancient writing, do not reveal it to others.

Although Chen Wuji also said at the time that even Chen Wuji and Nan Jinyu should not tell him.

But Nan Jinyu simply couldn't bear that this kind of magical ancient writing was related to his own life experience.

In this world, she believed in Chen Wuji the most.

Nan Jinyu decided to participate in the sword fighting ceremony of the Five Cities Sword Sect.

The goal is No. 3, get that stone tablet.

Just in case, Chen Wuji was called to prevent others from prying and snatching him halfway.

The image projected by the shadow stone shows the ancient stone tablet. Nan Jinyu wants to get it no matter what, and then understand it thoroughly!
……

Qingniu Mountain.

After Chen Wuji became familiar with the use of "Wanli Cloud Tracking Technique", he returned to the mountain and prepared to continue his retreat and improve his cultivation.

"Master, Master, Fengyun Tower sent a letter."

Han Ying used her skills and quickly flew in from the mountain gate to find Chen Wuji.

"A letter from Fengyun Tower?"

Chen Wuji was confused, "Whose letter is it?"

"Third Junior Sister!"

Han Ying said, reading out the content of the letter.

"Jin Yu is dreaming again. I hope Master will come soon."

dream?

The third child had a dream and asked himself to come over?

Well, wait!
