Volume 17: The Sentimental Swordsman and the Ruthless Sword (Part 2) Chapter 390 Two and a Half Men
Outside the city.
Su Weiyun and the other three kept walking.
No one stopped.
Because no one knows where to stop.
Li Xunhuan and Sun Xiaohong leaned against each other naturally, while Su Weiyun and Old Man Tianji walked behind with expressionless faces.
After a long time, the night became deeper.
Su Weiyun suddenly said, "Miss Sun, please help Li Tanhua go back to the tavern to rest first. Your grandfather and I have something to discuss."
Sun Xiaohong never liked this kind of adult-like words, but this time she surprisingly did not refute.
"well……"
A long sigh was heard, and Old Man Tianji watched Li Xunhuan and Sun Xiaohong go away.
Was he sighing for his granddaughter or for himself?
The autumn leaves are falling, and the woods are covered with fallen leaves.
Su Weiyun and Old Man Tianji stood on the soft fallen leaves. Their feet were soft, their hearts were soft too, and an indescribable sadness seemed to suddenly emerge between their bodies and limbs.
Su Weiyun slowly said, "The Heavenly Secret Stick Technique is unpredictable and can be achieved as the heart wishes. Although I have never seen it, I have heard of your peerless style for decades."
Old Man Tianji sighed, "It's a pity that the Jianghu that belonged to me is gone forever."
After all, it is a very sad thing to see a beauty grow old and a hero grow old.
Su Weiyun asked: "Did the Jianghu still belong to you ten years ago?"
Elder Tianji nodded and said, "More than ten years ago, Bai Xiaosheng traveled all over the place just to complete his weapon list. At that time, Shangguan Jinhong, Li Xunhuan and others were still inexperienced and could not be considered as particularly powerful masters."
This can be seen from the fact that Li Xunhuan was hunted by his enemies more than ten years ago and had no way to escape. In the end, he even needed Long Xiaoyun's silver spear to save him from the disaster.
Elder Tianji said: " The top ten weapons in the list are not very impressive. The leaders of Shaolin and Wudang didn't want to be on the list, so they put the so-called 'Green Devil Blood Hand' and 'Golden Vajra Iron Crutch' on the list."
"Although their martial arts are good, in my opinion, they are just mediocre." He continued to himself: "But you should know that people are willing to die for fame. Once they are on the weapon list, there will be countless people challenging them. In order to survive, they must concentrate on training and improving their martial arts."
Su Weiyun understood a little and said, "So, the fact that the weapons were compiled over a decade actually inspired the people in the martial arts world to practice martial arts, setting off a battle frenzy, which made their martial arts advance by leaps and bounds and advance to the level of Grandmaster."
Old Man Tianji smiled bitterly and said, "Haha, that's how it is. I never thought that a tiny blue scorpion could scare me away today."
There was a bitterness in his tone that was difficult for outsiders to explain.
Perhaps before this, no one in this world understood his unspeakable secret.
But at this moment, Su Weiyun in front of him really understood.
——Because only he knew what kind of strange state Old Man Tianji was in.
Elder Tianji suddenly said, "My granddaughter learned that Shangguan Jinhong wanted to kill Li Xunhuan, so she asked me to deal with Shangguan Jinhong."
Su Weiyun asked: "You agreed?"
Old Man Tianji said, "I agree. "
Su Weiyun asked, "Do you have the confidence to defeat Shangguan Jinhong?"
Old Man Tianji said, "No. Although I can't beat him now, I can't say for sure when we really fight."
What he said was strange, and there seemed to be a contradiction between what he said before and after.
Su Weiyun asked: "Then why don't you take action today?"
The reason why Su Weiyun proposed to leave was not because he was afraid of Shangguan Jinhong. The real reason was that he saw that Old Man Tianji was unwilling to take action.
Old Man Tianji's eyes revealed a trace of sadness, and he said sadly: "If I win today, it will be fine; but if I lose, it will inevitably cause Xiao Li Feidao and my granddaughter to die together, so I can't go to gamble."
Su Weiyun was silent.
Old Man Tianji asked, "Have you been to Bodhidharma Cave?"
Su Weiyun said, "I have seen it. Bodhidharma must have reached that legendary realm and became a god."
Old Man Tianji sighed, "Gods, the realm of gods... If I hadn't been to the Bodhidharma Cave and seen the shadows on the wall left by Bodhidharma, I wouldn't have believed that such a realm really existed in the world!"
Su Weiyun said: "A high realm does not necessarily mean you are really strong. In my opinion, Xiao Li's flying dagger may not be inferior to the dragon and phoenix double rings!"
"You have a point."
Old Man Tianji said solemnly: "I have been traveling around the martial arts world for ten years, and I have seen countless people, big and small. But there are only two and a half people in the world whose martial arts skills I cannot estimate!"
Su Weiyun said: "Please tell me."
Old Man Tianji said, "One of them is Li Tanhua, and the other is Hu Fengzi."
Crazy Hu.
Hu Fengzi is Hu Bugui, who is said to be crazy and insane. He breaks off a bamboo branch and uses it as his sword. His sword skills vary. Sometimes he is brilliant and sometimes he is as drunk as a child. His sword moves are not even as good as those of a child.
Therefore, Bai Xiaosheng considered again and again and did not put him on the weapon list.
Although Su Weiyun had never seen him, he had heard of him.
Elder Tianji said: "I have always thought that he is probably a person of the same realm as me, and he is also trapped in the dilemma of being at the peak of martial arts."
Su Weiyun did not ask what the dilemma was, but asked: "Then why do you think Xiao Li Feidao is also ignorant of his own limitations?"
Elder Tianji said, "I heard that you had a battle with him, and it ended in a draw."
Su Weiyun said: "Yes. I didn't dare to attack. I was not sure I could avoid his flying knife."
Elder Tianji said, "That's it. If you can't dodge it, then neither can I. When I saw Xiao Li's flying dagger, I even thought that even if I could really break through the difficulties and reach the realm of a god, I might not be able to dodge that knife!"
Since Old Man Tianji and Su Weiyun couldn't escape, Shangguan Jinhong naturally couldn't escape either.
Li Xunhuan's realm is not as good as Shangguan Jinhong and Tianji Old Man, but the power of "never missing a target" is even greater than theirs. This is not the power of martial arts, but a strange spiritual power.
Su Weiyun asked: "What exactly is the magical power on Xiao Li's flying knife?"
Even the knowledgeable and all-seeing old man Tianji could not answer it.
Su Weiyun had no choice but to ask: "What about the other half?"
Old Man Tianji looked at him with a smile and said, "The other half is you."
"I?"
Elder Tianji said, "The last time we talked, I knew you had two sword techniques, one is the Dharma Sword Technique, and the other is the Thirteen Deadly Swords. One is extreme killing, and the other is boundless Buddhist Dharma."
"But you have used these two completely opposite sword techniques with your left and right hands respectively. I want to see what it would be like if you used both hands at the same time. What kind of scene would it be like with sword energy running wild and illuminating the nine states?"
Two-handed swordsmanship and using a sword with both hands are two completely different things.
Although Jing Wuming could skillfully wield the sword with both hands, he had never mastered the unique skill of wielding two swords at the same time.
Old Man Tianji said, "I know you can do it. Use one Buddha and one demon to fight Shangguan Jinhong's one dragon and one phoenix. Double swords can hit double rings. Why don't you give it a try?"
