This Swordsman is Too Steady

Chapter 16: Swordsman's Path

Xia Daoyun entered the vast grassland.

In the grasslands where it had just rained heavily, the air was very fresh, and a gust of wind blew, not only bringing the smell of grass and soil, but also a chill.

She was still wearing the hat and shroud that the old woman gave her. It was originally a shroud to protect against snow, but it was actually very good for rain protection.

However, Xia Daoyun now has some new equipment on his body.

A pair of straw sandals and a bamboo stick for path detection.

The straw sandals were given to her by a herdsman she met on the road, saying that they were essential for walking on the grasslands.

The bamboo stick was picked up by Xia Daoyun on the road, and I don't know who lost it.

In the grasslands where it has rained, there are often puddles of unknown depth, which require bamboo sticks to find the way.

Xia Daoyun rejected the three-piece set of bucket hats, mink clothes, and straw sandals at first, but he was helpless and kind.

She has always been a very indifferent person, and no one can force her to do things she doesn't like, but for some reason, she can't refuse a warm-hearted old woman and a simple herdsman.

But as time passed, Xia Daoyun inexplicably developed a deep feeling for the three-piece suit on his body.

Because of wearing them and walking on this long road, she unconsciously let her abandon her past identity, no longer Xia Daoyun, no longer the first female swordsman in the sky, not to mention... as if I am really just a mortal who is hurrying in the wind and rain in the mortal world. I have abandoned all the smoke and dust, and my heart has become more and more pure.

Boom!

At this moment, there was a dull sound of thunder in the sky.

One after another lightning came in an instant, dancing in the sky like a silver snake.

Not long after, the heavy rain has come again, pouring down.

Crash.

The raindrops fell on Xia Daoyun's robe and hat, and immediately shattered, splashing everywhere, and the crisp beating sound continued to echo.

In the pouring rain, Xia Daoyun did not stop to find a place to shelter from the rain, nor did she stretch her mana to block the rain, but let the rain continue to fall. Occasionally, raindrops slanted down and wet her hair.

Not only did she not care, but in the end she even closed her eyes and paced forward in the heavy rain, as if she was one with heaven and earth.

Don't listen to the sound of Chuan Lin slapping leaves, why don't you roar and walk slowly.

Bamboo stick mango shoes are lighter than horses, who is afraid?

A misty rain for life.

One step at a time.

In the sound of the rain, Xia Daoyun continued to move forward on the road that was the most romantic sword cultivator in Chang'an year, and a kind of realization that he had never had before gradually came into his heart.

After a day and night of uninterrupted walking, the sound of the falling rain finally stopped, Xia Daoyun opened his eyes and felt a bright light.

In such a short period of time, she had already walked the road that ordinary people would take several months to complete, and finally walked out of this grassland and came to a high slope.

Ding Ding Dongdong.

A wide river flows by Xia Daoyun's side, down the slope, and meandering on the plain below.

On the plain, beside the river, is a human town. It is early morning, and there are people who get up early to work.

For some reason, it was clearly in sight, but in Xia Daoyun's eyes, the towns, rivers, and people seemed to have become a shrunk picture, hazy in the mist of the early morning, like a dream.

She looked back, that was the direction from which the light came, and the direction from which she came.

A fiery red sun jumped up from the end of the grassland, dispelling the mist and bringing her back to reality.

In the blink of an eye, the rivers and mountains are all red, everything is exuberant, and green as if it is about to flow out of juice.

"Looking back at the place where it has always been desolate, there is neither wind nor rain."

Xia Daoyun's heart suddenly burst into a broad-minded and heroic, relieved psychic, distracting thoughts and noise, all dissipated.

Standing quietly in front of Chu Yang for a while, Xia Daoyun gathered up his robes and set off on the road again.

This time, instead of walking in the cold snow-capped mountains and vast grasslands, she strode into the noisy town and the noisy world.

Yangguan Avenue, the weather is pleasant, and the journey is smooth, but in just ten days, it has already passed through two states and several countries, entering and leaving dozens of cities.

The road has also changed from a mountain road in the rugged district to a spacious city road or a post road. What I saw and heard along the way was completely different, bringing Xia Daoyun a completely different experience and mood than before.

The businessmen who drove their horses and carts along the way, the scholars who had been studying hard for ten years and went to Beijing to take the exam, eager to be named in the gold list, the farmers and sideline hawkers who brought vegetables and fruits into the city from outside the city, the officials who were demoted...... Bustling, dense but not chaotic, walking on the road, all seek, all go, and all have a direction.

So, my way, where is the direction?

Xia Daoyun asked themselves.

Her face was cold and her expression remained the same, but the doubts in her heart deepened.

However, her will never wavered.

Heart like a child, meaning like steel.

Xie Qingyun's evaluation that Xia Daoyun is the best among flowers, and the female sword cultivator's talent is the first, is definitely not a lie.

Although he was in doubt, he was not confused.

She always knew her way.

A few days later, after crossing a hill, there were blue sky and white clouds ahead.

Beneath the blue sky and white clouds, is a more majestic big city.

Xia Daoyun knew that he had entered the boundary of Chu County, and if there was no accident ahead, it should be Chu County City.

She moved slightly in her heart, with anticipation.

Because, Xia Zhao told her that he had left a trace in Chu County City, and no one knew about it.

Chu County City is a big city, it has its own big city bearing, there is no unnecessary cross-examination, and there is no so-called entry fee.

Xia Daoyun entered the city leisurely, the roads in the city were clean and tidy, and the houses were very delicate.

She randomly found a pedestrian on the side of the road, and after a little asking for directions, she found the famous Jiantulou in Chu County.

Jiantulou, said to be famous, is actually only limited to the Chu County city. Looking at the entire Chu County and the two prefectures, it is just a rather inconspicuous "restaurant".

Jiantulou was really just a restaurant in the beginning, and there were many peach blossoms around it.

Every time the flowers bloom, there is a beautiful view of the peach blossoms laughing in the spring breeze, but it is not the beauty of the peach blossoms that makes it famous, but the owner of the restaurant.

It was a swordsman from out of town. He was not too old. He had just reached middle age, but he didn't know whether he lost the sword competition or was plotted by the enemy, and his right hand holding the sword was broken.

A swordsman, without his right hand, what this means is self-evident.

So, he came to Chu County City, where no one knew him, and built a restaurant with his savings from traveling around the world when he was young.

In the entire Chu County, no one knew the swordsman's name, only his surname was Li, and he liked crows, so some people called him Storekeeper Li, and some called him Crow Swordsman.

Perhaps it was because the swordsman's dream was not broken, or he was still thinking about something, or perhaps it was just a "propaganda" method to open up his business. The shopkeeper Li set a strange rule: he placed a huge stone tablet at the entrance of the restaurant, requiring diners to enter the building. As long as the left-handed sword can leave marks on the tablet, all fees can be waived.

In short, because of this gimmick, Jiantulou suddenly became famous.

Whether they are really skilled or want to cheat, many so-called "swordsmen" come to Jiantulou with swords every day.

Many have failed and many have succeeded.

The Swordsman Building was indeed on fire.

Seeing this, some restaurants followed suit, but the effect was always unsatisfactory and tepid.

Ten years passed in this way, one day, the Jiantulou was suddenly closed. Some people saw Shopkeeper Li walking out of the city carrying a new iron sword made by a blacksmith in the city, not knowing where it was going.

A month later, Shopkeeper Li returned, and the Swordsman Building was reopened, but the rules remained the same.

However, the people in the city discovered that the swordsmen building that used to be hot in the city turned out to be many swordsmen who came from afar.

For some reason, these swordsmen squatted at the door and looked at the stone tablet full of mottled sword marks. They often looked at it for a day, as if there was some mystery in it.

Later, everyone gradually understood the reason.

It turns out that Shopkeeper Li is really a very, very great swordsman. He came from the grass roots and has never worshipped any famous masters. He just made a name for himself by the swordsmanship that is regarded as the next third way by the famous martial arts masters, and has the name of the first swordsman faintly. .

But ten years ago, before an extremely important competition for the title of the first swordsman, he was plotted by his opponent, broke his right arm, and quietly withdrew from the arena.

No one would have imagined that ten years later, he would be able to make a comeback, his left-handed sword was superb, even better than the right-handed sword of the past, and he would take revenge against the family of swordsmen who plotted against him back then.

How did he learn his left hand sword?

Everyone is curious.

Shopkeeper Li didn't hide it, and told the truth: he learned from the swordsmen of Chu County.

Jianpu is the stone tablet at the entrance of Jiantulou, thus creating today's scenery.

And Li Qiubai was passing by Chu County at that time.

It seems that he was interested in this mortal swordsman with the same surname as himself. He specially came to the Swordsman Building, handed out a sword, left his own traces on the stone tablet at the entrance, and then went upstairs to eat a free meal.

Fortunately, at that time, Li Qiubei walked in the world in a low-key manner and did not reveal his name, so no cultivator knew about it.

Otherwise, this Sword Disciple Building is not just famous today, it has already become a holy place for sword cultivation.

......

The gate of the Swordsman Building.

The stele is old, and the sword marks are mottled and dense.

These sword marks are not signed, and who left them, maybe a few years later, even the swordsman himself will not be recognized.

But Xia Daoyun still recognized the traces left by Li Qiubei at a glance.

Some people, like gold in the gravel, cannot be concealed.

Even if it's just the traces he left behind.

It was a slanted sword mark. It looked ordinary, but in fact all the other sword marks on the stone tablet were hidden. Apart from that, there was no other mystery.

All the other sword marks are really mediocre in Xia Daoyun's opinion.

But it is the combination of these mediocre sword marks that Li Qiubai's sword marks have a shocking power.

In his heart trembling, Xia Daoyun unconsciously stretched out his hand and stroked the sword mark.

Touching the sword mark that Li Qiubei left on the stone tablet, an inexplicable spirit filled her heart in an instant.

This is...... the sword of the world.

Xia Daoyun murmured, and after regaining his senses, he put down his hand, looked away from the stone tablet, and turned to look at this restaurant with a long history in the peach forest.

After looking around, her eyes finally fell on the plaque hanging in the restaurant.

It may be that the original brand is too old, so the restaurant recently made a new plaque, which looks very brand new.

The sun fell on the plaque, making the three characters on the plaque gleam with gold.

The moment he saw the three big characters, Xia Daoyun's spirit was shocked.

She suddenly understood why Li Qiubei said that "to walk out of the road of invincibility, you must first walk through countless roads".

I understand why Li Qiubai wants to walk in the world like a mortal.

I also understood why Li Qiubai stopped at the Jiantulou back then and left a mark.

Not because of the same "Li" as this raven swordsman.

But because of the same "reason" with this crow swordsman. UU reading www.uukanshu.com

Her mind was smooth in an instant, and the doubts she had been puzzled for a long time disappeared.

...

The plaque is new, but the name is old.

It was the raven swordsman who got his name.

Swordsman Building.

What is a swordsman?

Beginner swordsman?

Not also.

A true master always has the heart of an apprentice.
