Martial Cultivator

Listening to the shirtless swordsmith who came up to speak, Chen Chao stood there and said nothing for a while.

The seemingly powerful swordsmith paused for a moment. Seeing that the young man in front of him did not speak, he just pretended that he was thinking about it. After a moment of pause, he began to boast, "Fellow Taoist, I am not bragging. Although the flying sword made by me, Zhao Dashan, is as good as Not as good as the great masters on Jianqi Mountain, but they are still very famous within a few hundred miles around. Many of our Huanglong Prefecture sword cultivators use our flying swords. Do you know, Fellow Daoist Xu Baixu, that one in his hand? The flying sword was also made by me in the beginning. Look, isn't he now one of the few sword cultivators in Huanglong Prefecture?"

Chen Chao still didn't speak. He just looked at the mountaineering road not far away in front of him. There were many sword cultivators walking up and down. Chen Chao, who came back to his senses, smiled and looked at the swordsmith and asked, "The sword cultivators who come here? How many can finally walk up the mountain and how many can get what they want and take away a flying sword?"

Seeing that the young man in front of him asked questions that had nothing to do with his flying sword, Zhao Dashan was a little unhappy, but he still said in a low voice, "Who knows how many sword cultivators there are who have traveled thousands of miles to come here? The guys from Jianqi Mountain put it in. As for whether they can take away a flying sword, if the flying sword on the mountain was so easy to get, they wouldn't cherish it so much. "

Chen Chao nodded and asked casually, "If I take the Feijian away from the mountain, will it be snatched away by others?"

Zhao Dashan frowned, "Of course this kind of thing will not be done openly. As for whether it is done behind the scenes, who will tell you?"

Chen Chao said oh and said to himself, "If one day a sword cultivator who snatches other people's flying swords becomes famous, and Jianqi Mountain discovers the flying sword that was supposed to be for another person, will Jianqi Mountain look for him?" trouble?” 🄲

Zhao Dashan, who was not a good-tempered person, listened to these several questions and did not answer any more. He just said impatiently, "Do you want to see my flying sword?"

Chen Chao looked at the shirtless swordsmith in front of him with an innocent face, patted the scabbard beside him, and said with a wry smile, "I'm in a dilemma too."

Only then did he realize that the young man in front of him was carrying a knife. Zhao Dashan's face suddenly turned red, and he smiled awkwardly, "It turns out that fellow Taoist is a martial artist, and he is disturbing fellow Taoist."

Chen Chao laughed, "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter."

Zhao Dashan immediately asked in confusion, "Since fellow Taoist is a martial artist, why do you come to Jianqi Mountain to ask for swords for others? We are destined to be together, and there are some things we can tell fellow Taoist. The guys in Jianqi Mountain have a lot of rules. If fellow Taoist people have the idea of ​​helping others to seek swords, it will definitely not work, and they may be beaten out directly. "

Chen Chao frowned and said, "Didn't you say they were all a bunch of swordsmiths?"

Zhao Dashan clicked his tongue and said, "Which sect doesn't have a few great monks? There's an entire Sword Qi Mountain all over the mountain."

Isn't there a few sword immortals that can't be found in swords? "

Chen Chao was speechless. In Zhao Dashan's opinion, this meant he was giving up.

Chen Chao suddenly asked, "Master, can I intercede for Feijian here?"

Zhao Dashan's expression froze, and then he sighed, "Fellow Taoist really doesn't know how to chat."

Chen Chao laughed loudly and did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he sat on the wooden bench in front of the sword-making shop and looked at the sword cultivators and other monks coming and going.

Zhao Dashan did not chase people away. After all, when you open a business, it doesn't matter what you sell, it is necessary to leave a good impression on others. Even if the business fails, it will not be guaranteed. Once the good impression is achieved, the other party will introduce another business.

These things are impossible to say.

Zhao Dashan also poured a pot of hot tea for Chen Chao, and then returned to the sword-making stove to continue making swords.

After Chen Chao took a sip, his whole body became cold. After sighing in admiration, he softly said, "Brother, I actually know Xu Bai."

Zhao Dashan was startled, and then his face changed. Just when Chen Chao looked at him with a smile, the swordsmith laughed again and said, "Do you think what I said before was to embarrass you? Let me tell you." That sword made by Xu Baizhu is the flying sword I am most satisfied with in these years.”

Chen Chao, who originally just wanted to have fun with the swordsmith in front of him, heard what he said, and then said regretfully, "It's a pity that the flying sword was broken."

Zhao Dashan was startled, then frowned and said, "Seriously?"

Chen Chao didn't hide it either. After telling the details about Xu Bai's sword, Zhao Dashan immediately had a frustrated expression on his face. Unintentionally making swords, he walked out of the sword-making shop, sat down next to Chen Chao, and began to sigh.

At this moment, Chen Chao was sure that the man in front of him was really the forger of Xu Bai's flying sword, but he couldn't help but sigh. The world looked big, but it seemed extremely small. He seemed to be able to touch anything relevant anywhere. acquaintance.

Chen Chao patted Zhao Dashan on the shoulder and comforted him, "Brother, don't be sad. I will definitely be able to forge a better flying sword in the future."

Zhao Dashan nodded, but his mood was still not high.

Chen Chao stood up and said with a smile, "I can't repay you for drinking a bowl of tea for nothing. I wish you better flying swords in the future."

Zhao Dashan struggled to put on a smile and waved to Chen Chao.

Chen Chao nodded and faced the mountain road.

He walked over there, but when he passed behind the sword-making shop, he stretched out his hand and wiped his hands on the shop's sword.

Careless.

When I first patted Zhao Dashan on the shoulder, my hands were sweaty.

…

…

Chen Chao finally arrived at the foot of the Sword Qi Mountain. It actually took him almost three months from the time he left Shendu to the time he arrived at the Sword Qi Mountain. When he left, the Shendu was still in early summer. , now the cicadas are chirping, it’s already summer.

As soon as he set foot on the mountain path of Jianqi Mountain, Chen Chao was hit by a dangerous blow from the mountain that made him unable to stand.

But even so, Chen Chao still felt pain on his face, as if the wind just now was mixed with countless sword energy blowing towards his face. 🄲

Fortunately, there were no wounds on the face.

This means being thick-skinned.

After just a few steps, there were more people in front of me. Most of them were young sword cultivators. Most of them had swords hanging on their waists, and some were alone. Naturally, these sword cultivators also went up the mountain to seek swords. The rules of Jian Qi Mountain were complex. It’s also complicated, and it’s simple to say that if a sword cultivator wants to ask for a sword, he has to resist countless sword energies when he goes up the mountain. Only those who can persist in walking to the real mountain gate amidst these sword energies have the initial qualifications. Otherwise, no matter how talented you are, Jianqi Mountain will not look at you seriously.

It's just that there are exceptions to everything. For example, when Liu Banbi went up the mountain, he didn't take this mountain road. He had the reputation of being a disciple of the dean, and although the dean was extremely annoyed with this guy for not studying to practice swordsmanship, he still gave him Jian Qi Shan said hello, so that when Liu Banbi was asked to go up the mountain, Jian Qi Shan directly led him up the mountain.

As for the previous Xie Nandu, not to mention, not only the dean had been waiting on the mountain early, but even the mountain master of Jianqi Mountain came out in person.

When Xie Nandu told Chen Chao about this incident later, Chen Chao didn't feel much about it. Now when he climbed the mountain himself, Chen Chao truly felt what it means to have someone behind him to do things easily.

Moreover, his mountain climbing is different from other mountain climbing sword cultivators. The other sword cultivators are sword cultivators after all. They can follow the sword energy on the mountain and follow the sword energy. However, as a martial artist, besides resisting forcefully, he can also any idea?

After struggling to walk halfway up the mountain, Chen Chao took a deep breath. Just as he was about to find a place to rest for a while, he saw a young sword cultivator sitting on the bluestone beside him. The latter was wearing a blue and white robe. After seeing Chen Chao , smiled kindly, "Let's take a break together?"

As he spoke, he even gave up half of the bluestone under his buttocks to Chen Chao.

After Chen Chao walked over and sat down without any courtesy, the young swordsman quickly said in surprise, "You are a martial artist, what are you doing up the mountain?"

This is obviously the sight of Chen Chao saber.

Without waiting for Chen Chao's reply, the young sword cultivator said to himself, "It's weird, it's weird that there are martial arts people who go to Jian Qi Mountain. It's really weird."

Chen Chao smiled bitterly and said, "It's all small things, small things."

The young swordsman laughed and said, "Anyway, there are strange things everywhere on this mountain, so don't be surprised."

Chen Chao laughed it off.

But Chen Chao immediately sighed and said, "This fucking mountain is really hard to climb."

The young sword cultivator smiled and said earnestly, "Sword cultivators don't have to work hard to climb mountains. If they combine their own sword energy with the sword energy in the mountain, they will be able to relax a lot. When releasing the sword energy from the outer belt, there might be a flying sword on the mountain." I can detect your aura. When the time comes to go up the mountain to choose a sword, it will actually be much simpler. However, this is all the little thoughts of Jianqi Mountain. These guys, if nothing else, are really good at forging swords in the world. No one can surpass them, but it is not a sword cultivator. This mountain climbing is to compete with Manshan Jian. These sword energy in the mountains are actually the sword energy of those flying swords released to detect you. They found that you are not a sword cultivator. How can I be polite to you? But maybe you will be kicked down the mountain when you reach the mountain gate. It is not worth the effort to climb the mountain. "

Chen Chaozheng nodded repeatedly. Hearing the last words of the young swordsman, he was a little bit dumbfounded, but fortunately he quickly relaxed and said with a smile, "Thank you for your advice."

The young swordsman smiled and waved his hand, "These are ordinary things, not worthy of thanks. My name is Lin Xian. Can I make a friend?"

Chen Chao thought for a while and said, "My surname is Chen."

Lin Xian was startled, and then asked suspiciously, "Is this coming from all the gods?"

Chen Chao nodded.

Lin Xian looked Chen Chao up and down, then patted his forehead and said with a smile, "I have heard your name a long time ago. Your reputation is not small outside our country."

Chen Chao looked helpless.

"Then I know what you came up to the mountain to do, to recast your broken sword?"

Lin Xian blinked, "What, am I smart?"

Chen Chao didn't know whether to laugh or cry. The young swordsman in front of him had some shadow of Yu Xiyi, but that guy was a talker, and this guy was like a living treasure.

"Fellow Daoist Lin hit the nail on the head."

Chen Chao also helplessly agreed.

Lin Xian nodded with satisfaction and said with emotion, "You can call me fellow Taoist a few more times. In a short time, I, Lin Xian, will be a swordsman!"
