Chapter 47 Sword is life
All the eyes around instantly gathered on the mound where Zhang Yi, Ding Ning and others stood...
"Really want to fight?"
The showdown between Chen Liufeng and Fan Wuque was like a big drama that had just ended, and Ding Ning proposed to borrow a sword again. This was a bigger drama for Xie Changsheng. He looked at Ding Ning and his voice trembled with excitement.
Lu Duofeng, Zhou Freehandi, and Xin Jianli, the three young men who were all in the talent list, had not yet completely recovered from the shock of the battle just now. At this time, they suddenly heard Zhang Yi speak out to borrow a sword publicly, and the bodies of the three people were also shocked at the same time.
Among the three, Xin Jianli of Huangyun Cave Heaven ranked 91st in the talent list and ranked last, but in fact he was the best person among the three.
At this time, he took a deep breath, calmed down, looked at Ding Ning slightly, and said slowly: "I'm glad you dare to accept my challenge. It seems that you are not as unbearable as I imagined. It's just that Chen Liufeng defeated Fan Wuque just now, but it is the best proof that the position in the talent list is not so authoritative that it cannot be changed."
Xin Jianli's meaning is very clear.
Chen Liufeng can defeat Fan Wuque, who ranks before him, so he can naturally defeat Ding Ning.
However, when he heard his words, Ding Ning just shook his head calmly and said, "I don't want to fight you, I'll fight Zhou Liyi."
"What?"
Xin Jianli, Lu Duofeng, and Zhou Freeyi were all stunned.
...
A sneer in Chen Liufeng's chest on the stone platform on the other side finally came out. Although he was in a very refreshing mood at this time, he was extremely tired. Zhang Yi's inquiry could not bring him more joy. He just bowed slightly and said, "If you use it immediately, no one will refuse to borrow a sword."
"It's Lu Duofeng from Anshan Sword Tower, Zhou Freeyi and Xin Jianli from Huangyun Cave Heaven are all figures in the Talent Book."
"Zhang Yi speaks out, that old man is Xue Wangxu! The one with the waist and broken sword is naturally Ding Ning. Is Ding Ning going to duel with one of the three people at this time?"
At this time, people on the river bank around also saw the clues, and a variety of sounds sounded.
Although this must be a low-ranking battle compared to Chen Liufeng and Fan Wuque, there is Ding Ning here.
"This young man in the wine shop really doesn't know how to restrain himself. He just watched the duel and even made trouble out of thin air."
Parked in a carriage on the river bank, a young man in a gray robe smiled coldly.
He is Gu Xichun, the most incomprehensible in the talent book this time.
Ding Ning was the most popular boy in last winter. He set a new record of practice, making him ranked 72 and understandable, but he was ranked third, which made most people unable to understand.
Compared with the sword sacrifice trial, Gu Xichun was less handsome and more haggard at this time. His face was a little dry and pale, his eyeshadow was too thick, but he was slightly red, which made him look a little sick after his vitality was greatly damaged.
But in his every move, he showed a trace of sharpness that had never been seen before.
"The more you are happy to show off before the Minshan Sword Meeting, the faster you fall when you really arrive at the Minshan Sword Meeting. Today, although Chen Liufeng won, his sword power was seen so thoroughly, which was really a reckless man." A master of Yingshan Sword Cave sitting beside Gu Xichun sneered: "No matter how this young man in the wine shop performs today, he will not be afraid of the future."
Gu Xichun said with a slight mocking voice: "I hope he can perform better."
The commander of the Yingshan Sword Cave beside him raised his eyebrows slightly, a little confused.
Gu Xichun said: "I can understand something on the sword wall because he, Xie Changsheng and others. The better he performs, the more I worry that I will be caught up with by him, and I will work harder to practice."
...
"Why choose me?" At this time, Zhou Liyi waved to Xin Jianli, stopping Xin Jianli from continuing to speak, and then he looked at Ding Ning with a slightly cold face and asked.
"I came from a civilian and was relatively merciless. In my opinion, things that were bored." Ding Ning calmly looked back at the boy who looked refreshing and capable with a bun on his tongue and said, "My ranking is above you. If you win, you will be considered as worthy of losing to you, but you will lose face and become your stepping stone. So I don't have much benefit to fighting with you, those of you who are lower-ranking."
Zhou Shuyi's heart was already angry and she had no patience at all. She interrupted Ding Ning's words with a stern voice: "What do you mean?"
"Is this not clear?"
Xie Changsheng, who was standing beside him, laughed and said, "Even the porter coolie, there is no in vain. Of course, this duel needs to be added to the lottery."
"Do you really think I'm sure you win?" Zhou Liyi laughed furiously and looked directly at Ding Ning: "What do you want to bet?"
Ding Ning said: "If you lose, I will read the freehand paintings of your Zhou family. If you win, I will let you read the notes of Master Xue Dong."
Zhang Yi was stunned and subconsciously wanted to say that this was not good, but Zhou Yi was already laughing out loud: "Everyone knows the freehand paintings of the Zhou family in Moyuan, and I just said that I had no impression of us."
Ding Ning's face remained unchanged and said calmly: "When you know the freehand scroll, you may not know your position in the talent book. Although the freehand scroll contains some magical sword styles, there are only some pictures of splashing ink, but there are no words, meridian running diagrams, and different meanings will produce different sword styles. It is said that the person with the most talented people in the Zhou family in Moyuan has only realized three of them. Your father directly named you Zhou Freehand, obviously hoping that you can understand one more move and a half. Whether we win or lose, it is limited to one day. If I win, even if I read the freehand scroll for one day, I may not be able to understand anything, but if you look at the notes of Master Xue Dong a day, you will definitely gain a lot. No matter how you look at this bet, I will give in to you."
Hearing Ding Ning's words, a strange color appeared in Xue Wangxu's turbid eyes. He whispered: "There are really a lot of things you know when you read the books."
Although Zhou Liyi was angry, she thought of the fact that Xue Wangxu defeated Liang Lian, the general of the Northern Army of Tiger and Wolf, and the notes left by the master, her heart was also moved.
"Since that's the case, I'll take on your bet and thank you for your kindness."
After saying this, he made a gesture of inviting Ding Ning and walked straight down the river bank.
"Is it Zhou's freehand painting?"
"Is Zhou Freeyi from Huangyun Cave Heaven going to fight against Ding Ning?"
With just such a gesture, all people on both sides of the Taiwan Strait will understand.
Ding Ning untied the broken flower sword on his waist and handed it to Zhang Yi.
Zhang Yi couldn't help but want to explain a few words, but when he saw Ding Ning's slightly raised brows, he immediately closed his mouth.
"I just like his unreasonable confidence."
Xie Changsheng looked at Ding Ning's figure walking down the frozen river calmly, and said to Chen Yi with some provocation: "This is spirit, so don't have any inappropriate thoughts about my sister anymore."
Chen Yi was a little shy, but he thought he was not as good as Ding Ning. He discussed: "Zhou's cultivation has reached the top level of the third level, and it is said that he is practicing the Shu Forget Sutra of Huangyun Cave Heaven. Zhenyuan should be very advantageous compared with Senior Brother Ding Ning. What kind of tactic do you think Senior Brother Ding Ning will use to fight him against him?"
"I don't know." Xie Changsheng said contemptly: "It's all unreasonable confidence. Zhou Liyi's true essence is stronger than him. Huangyun Cave Heaven Huangyun Baihe Sword Sutra is extremely strong. When Ding Ning fights you, he has made good use of the Aries Sword Skill. Zhou Liyi will naturally pay attention to his sword talisman. No matter how you look at it, Ding Ning has no reason to win."
Chen Yi's face turned pale quickly, and he also felt that Ding Ning had no reason to win. After all, he had followed Ding Ning during this period and knew that Ding Ning had no other special encounters besides making progress in the true essence practice. Even though there were many understandings of the Sword Sutra in Xue Wangxu's notes, it was just a paper talk and he did not practice and understand it. The role it could only play in the future, not in the present.
"You are a slutty guy? Your face is white." Xie Changsheng looked at his face, but he said even more contemptuously: "What's the matter if there is no reason? He will still win."
Listening to Xie Changsheng's words, Nangong Caishu nodded unconsciously.
She also thinks Ding Ning will win.
Because she knew Ding Ning better than Xie Changsheng and others, she vaguely felt that behind such unreasonable confidence, Ding Ning always hid something that could win, just like when Ding Ning defeated Su Qin when the sword sacrifice trial was Ding Ning.
But she didn't know what Ding Ning was hiding this time.
...
A yellow cloud emerged from Zhou's freehand feet.
Zhou Yiyi, who had just reached the center of the river, rode on this yellow cloud, flew up slantedly and landed on the stone platform.
The yellow cloud continued to fly upwards, and the pure vitality did not dissipate for a long time, as if it was about to fly to the horizon.
Zhou Jiyi stood with her hands behind her back, waiting for Ding Ning, with an indescribable state of elegance.
A cheer sounded.
On the other hand, Ding Ning just walked slowly across the frozen river surface and towards the stone platform.
"Although his cultivation is lower than Zhou Freeyi, it is easy to use some sword force to snatch the stone platform. Now this is just pretending to be a stance, which makes people laugh." Gu Xichun, who was on the carriage not far away, said sarcastically, but suddenly remembered what Xie Changsheng said before, but he shut up and began to remain silent.
Ding Ning walked up to the stone platform slowly, but his movements did not stop. He grabbed a black iron sword without a fringe close to him.
Zhou Liyi looked at the sword full of ice water and said slightly, "This is the sword that Fan Wuque was defeated and then fell into ice water. Don't you feel unlucky?"
Ding Ning looked at him and said calmly: "Those who use swords must first respect the sword."
His eyes fell on the black iron sword without a fringe in his hand, and then said, "The sword is life for no bad sword."
