In the Blade

After listening to the story told by the old man, Du Chengfeng probably had a deeper understanding of the so-called sword evil spirit.

It turns out that not all sword evil spirits can make people crazy. Just like after Yang Sanlang sacrificed himself to the sword, the thick sword not only lost those evil spirits that made people crazy, but even had a certain calming effect - you have to know that Du Chengfeng was almost completely losing his mind at that time and turned into a monster like a beast, but after holding the sword, those madness and frenzy disappeared in an instant.

And this thick sword that had been broken was intact.

It even became more powerful than before it was broken.

Obviously, it is not impossible to repair the dead weapon, but the conditions for repair are extremely harsh - according to Du Chengfeng's understanding of the story, first of all, you need someone who has enough trust in him and is even willing to die for him, and then this person must have a strong belief and use the broken blade to kill himself.

"This..."

Du Chengfeng began to scratch his head.

It's not that he didn't know such people. At least Carpenter Li, or old man Yang Xuanyang, could be considered as such a life-and-death friendship - but just for a knife, they were asked to give up their lives. Even if they were willing, Du Chengfeng couldn't agree.

Is the knife more important? Or the life of a friend more important?

Du Chengfeng felt that the life of a friend was more important. After all, as long as you continue to live, you can always encounter new knives. As for friends... if they die, they are really dead.

What's more, he also thought of other ideas.

"So, can we do it this way?"

After thinking for a while, Du Chengfeng gave his own plan.

"How about I go to the street and find a desperate person, give him a resettlement fee, and then let him use this broken horse to cut his neck..."

"You, you, you... How can you be so careless about human life!"

Hearing that the plan given by Du Chengfeng was so outrageous, the old man named Ruan Shantao was so angry that he immediately slammed the table, and then pressed Du Chengfeng who wanted to leave, and insisted on telling him a lot of truth.

Du Chengfeng wanted to run away directly, but the pressure from the old man at this moment was too great.

Not only because of the problem of strength, but more because of the majestic momentum, Du Chengfeng once thought that he had returned to his student days and was facing an angry class teacher-the scene was almost the same, just because what the old man said was indeed reasonable. Du Chengfeng knew that he was a little bit wrong, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

Liu Bolun on the side had already started to pretend to be dead, took out the wine gourd and poured wine on the thick sword, trying to apologize to the thick sword and communicate with it.

Du Chengfeng was left alone, facing the old man's spitting.

"Besides, even if you spend money to buy his life, the other party died for money, not for you. Today he can sell his life for money, tomorrow this weapon will sell you for money."

After talking for a long time, the old man, whose throat was dry, simply snatched Liu Bolun's wine gourd and took a sip.

"Benevolence is the human heart, and righteousness is the way of people. You kid don't know benevolence and righteousness, and you act recklessly. I don't know why the warrior had to give you a life... Forget it, it's getting late, you go back, come to the mountain to listen to the lecture four times a month in the future, I have to discipline your temper."

At this point, the old man added another sentence.

"Don't think that you can not come because you have an official status. If you don't come to listen, I will personally go into the city to catch you."

"..."

Du Chengfeng's face is subtle.

This doesn't seem to be a bad thing for him?

Anyway, he also wanted to seriously study the normal way of sharpening knives in this world. He was still thinking about what reason to communicate before. The old man ordered him to come to the academy to study, which gave him an excuse to come here for further study.

And he didn't have to pay tuition.

He got a place for further study for nothing, and he also knew the way to revive Changdao Duanma. His trip to Ziyang Mountain could be considered a full return.

However, on the way down the mountain, Du Chengfeng still did not give up those unconventional methods. Some things he had learned before were churning in his mind. He always felt that he might be able to come up with some better ways-like using deception or bluffing to let someone die for him, would it work?

At this time, he met an acquaintance on the way down the mountain.

And it was an acquaintance with a high status.

"Cui Yuan?"

Seeing that the crazy swordsman with a sword on his waist actually appeared in Ziyang Mountain, Du Chengfeng couldn't help but be stunned.

No wonder even though the price of ten kilograms of gold was posted outside, they still couldn't find this guy. It turned out that he actually hid in this mountain.

"Sir!"

At this moment, the crazy swordsman Cui Yuan also saw Du Chengfeng.

When the four looked at each other, Cui Yuan's eyes immediately ignited with a blazing fighting spirit!

But contrary to Du Chengfeng's expectation, Cui Yuan did not draw his sword.

On the contrary, he bowed to Du Chengfeng as a courtesy.

"Sir, this way of not killing is indeed a part of cultivation!"

"...Ah?"

Du Chengfeng was quite puzzled for a while.

He almost forgot what this was, how could he not kill?

But after Cui Yuan talked about his recent experience, Du Chengfeng gradually remembered it.

The story begins when he asked Cui Yuan to clear the area. At that time, he accidentally met Cui Yuan in a bandit den. After defeating him, he did not kill him. Instead, he asked Cui Yuan to find those hidden in Jizhou. Rangers and swordsmen, and drove them away from Jizhou - this was an arrangement to prevent He Xiqing from foraging for food. Considering that these rangers and swordsmen were well-intentioned, he also asked Cui Yuan not to kill anyone. .

But his casual words made Cui Yuan's actions extremely difficult.

With Cui Yuan's skills, he can still kill those rangers and swordsmen. What's more, Cui Yuan has also mastered the use of evil energy. Broken Sword raises his hand and uses the five-foot sword light to stab people a few times. The transparent hole is as easy as eating and drinking - but if the prerequisite is not to kill people, the five-foot sword light will be useless, and even his ruthless sword skills cannot be used for most of them.

What's more, there are many brave people among the rangers and swordsmen. Their level is similar to Cui Yuan, and some are even better.

This difficulty is even greater.

But precisely because of this, Cui Yuan began to believe Du Chengfeng's words more and more.

"This is indeed part of spiritual practice!"

At that moment, Cui Yuan had a clear understanding.

Things that are so difficult and almost impossible to accomplish are not considered practice. What else is practice?

Therefore, Cui Yuan truly adopted a spiritual attitude towards this matter.

But now, Cui Yuan has achieved success in practice.

"Thanks to Sir's guidance, my swordsmanship has entered a new level."

As he spoke, Cui Yuan bowed in the direction of the mountain chief's monastery.

"It just so happens that Mr. Ruan in the mountains is also proficient in the way of not killing and calls it 'benevolence'. Therefore, in the next period of time, I will follow Mr. Ruan and practice the way of benevolence."

"Ah, that's it..."

Du Chengfeng forced a smile, which was very forced.

Why doesn't he know the way not to kill? You have to know that the reason why he was able to come all the way from Jibei to Yanzhou was because, to put it bluntly, he was killed - so how did Cui Yuan's brain grow? Do mentally ill people think broadly?

But thinking of this, Du Chengfeng's bad intentions that had just been suppressed emerged again.

"Um...you want to practice, right?"

Saying this, Du Chengfeng took out his long horse-breaking knife.

"Why don't you try using this knife to wipe yourself out?"

"...Is this really spiritual practice?"

Cui Yuan's brows immediately wrinkled.

"Sir, don't try to trick me."

"Look, I've warned you several times, will I, Du Chengfeng, lie to you?"

Du Chengfeng laughed.

"This is also part of spiritual practice."

"Sir, please don't say it's a joke."

Cui Yuan couldn't help but shook his head.

"If this is part of the practice...then the ten catties of bounty hanging in Yanzhou City can't be considered part of the practice, right?"

"Ah this."

Du Chengfeng became silent on the spot.

Damn it, the fool won’t be fooled this time.

But think about it, this Cui Yuan is just mentally ill, not really mentally retarded. In fact, just looking at Cui Yuan's talent in swordsmanship, he can even be said to be a smart man - and when the other party mentioned the bounty, Du Cheng Feng could also see that Cui Yuan was hiding in the mountains for more than just studying.

And judging from the complaint in those words, Cui Yuan might have already discovered that he was taking the blame for Ji Bei for Du Chengfeng.

"Excuse me, let's talk later."

Du Chengfeng, with a look of confusion on his face, took the horse and ran away.

But this can be considered a good thing. At least Cui Yuan seems to have succeeded in practicing in the mountains and is mentally normal. And since Cui Yuan is no longer chasing him to compete with each other, he doesn't have to think of an idea. This psychosis is killing me.

"But this knife...hey, that's right."

Du Chengfeng couldn't help but slap his head when he remembered something.

Yes, he had forgotten that he now holds the position of Chief Ordnance of Jizhou and works in Yanzhou, which means that he is qualified to enter and exit the Yanzhou arsenal - so why does he care so much about a fake broken horse? A long sword made of a sword? Wouldn't it be better for him to just get a real horse-breaking sword?

As for the issue of the Broken Horse Sword being an ordnance... this is actually a trivial matter to him. The worst he can do is make up for another soldier quota. Anyway, with his combat power, he can really serve as a vanguard on the battlefield.

They are already in the vanguard, so it is normal to have a horse-breaking sword in their hands, right?

"Done!"

Riding his horse and whipping his whip, Du Chengfeng rushed all the way back to Yanzhou City.

Compared with the exciting knife fights at night, Yanzhou City during the day seemed quite peaceful. There were no assassinations or ambushes. Only the shouts of the various shops could be heard - so there were no twists and turns along the way, Du said. Chengfeng returned to the official office smoothly.

In the official office, the approval document allowing Du Chengfeng to open the arsenal has been prepared. After all, something happened to the arsenal before, and everyone in Yanzhou was in a panic. Du Chengfeng, on the other hand, acted vigorously and resolutely. After taking the approval document, he went straight to the arsenal, which made all the junior officials exclaim that they were very lucky and said that this Shangguan was really reliable.

But what these little officials didn't know was that Du Chengfeng opened his arsenal this time just to pick out a handy weapon.
