Chapter 15: North Peak Sword Head
Beifeng Hall
The three of them stood respectfully outside the palace. An Chen looked up and saw a large golden plaque standing on the door of the palace with the four words "Five Swords Asking Questions" written on it.
An Chen said with great interest: "May I ask what the five swords are asking?"
Li Xi smiled and said: "You don't know this, right? This Five Sword Questions has a lot of background."
As she said this, she winked at Bai Xiaosheng, who immediately understood, "Junior Brother An didn't know something when he came here. These Five Sword Questions are the unique skills of my Beifeng Sword Master, Master Tang Bao."
"There are five swords in this secret art, namely the five swords of loyalty, filial piety, benevolence, righteousness, and faith! The master has used these five swords to open up the way of swordsmanship, ranking among the top swordsmen of the Four Peaks, only below the sect leader!"
An Chen was slightly speechless after hearing this. He didn't expect that the strength of Beifeng Sword Head was so great. He suddenly asked out of curiosity: "Where does Xiao Jian rank first?"
As soon as he said this, Bai Xiaosheng glanced at Li Xi and said hesitantly: "This..."
"As the new swordsman, my master is naturally at the bottom of the ranking." Li Xi said it generously.
However, as soon as Li Xi finished speaking, Bai Xiaosheng smiled and said: "Although he is the last, Xiao Jianshou is the youngest swordsman in the Jingshan Sword Sect in a hundred years, and he will definitely have a bright future in the future."
Li Xi curled up the corner of his mouth and looked at Bai Xiaosheng with a very sensible look.
An Chen couldn't help but smile, no wonder Bai Xiaosheng was hesitant and afraid of offending others!
At this time, Bai Xiaosheng looked at the clock and said: "Sister Li Xi, the master is waiting in the hall. I have other things to do, so I won't accompany you."
Then he said to An Chen: "Junior brother An, if you pay homage to the master, you can report to the Beifeng Outer Disciple Hall in the northwest. A separate courtyard has been prepared for you. Although it is simple, it is clean."
"A separate courtyard?" An Chen asked doubtfully.
Li Xi, who was on the side, took out a pebble-sized stone from the sachet he carried with him and handed it over.
It is actually a high-quality mid-grade spiritual stone!
"Thank you." Li Xi smiled.
Seeing this, Bai Xiaosheng rubbed his hands and his eyes turned into bright moons, "Senior Sister Li Xi is too polite."
Then he quickly put away the spirit stone and smiled at An Chen: "Junior brother An Chen is new here. If you don't understand anything or need my help, just ask."
Ning Chen nodded slightly, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart that it's great to have money!
After Bai Xiaosheng left, Li Xi changed his expression and asked softly: "How is Bai Xiaosheng?"
An Chen said: "He is such a well-rounded person!"
When Li Xi heard this, he couldn't help but look at An Chen and said, "I didn't expect you to be very accurate in judging people. This Beifeng disciple, privately called him White-faced Fox, is very smart. Don't get in his way when you get along with him."
"
An Chen chuckled, "White-faced fox? That's quite appropriate."
"Don't underestimate him. Each of the four sword heads in the southeast, northwest and southeast has a direct disciple. Their strength varies, but in my opinion, Bai Xiaosheng's strength can be at least ranked second."
"Second? Who is first?" An Chen asked curiously.
Unexpectedly, Li Xi rolled his eyes at him and said, "Don't aim too high! You should practice hard at the North Peak."
After saying that, she clapped her hands and said, "Okay, by sending you here, I have fulfilled my master's duty, so I'll say goodbye."
An Chen bowed his hands and thanked him.
Unexpectedly, Li Xi walked a few steps and suddenly turned back, "If someone bullies you in the future, just say that he is my friend, Li Xi!"
An Chen joked: "What if the other party has never heard of your name?"
Li Xi patted his forehead and said with a look of disgust: "Stupid! Just run away if you can't beat him!"
An Chen's mouth twitched, "I don't think you have any clever tricks if I dare to fall in love with you."
He smiled slightly and shouted, "If someone bullies you one day, you can also tell him that I am your friend!"
Li Xi didn't reply. She turned around, waved her hand and disappeared on the stone stairs.
However, no one expected that such a joke would have such weight in the world ten years later!
When An Chen saw Li Xi leaving, he turned around and walked into the main hall.
However, when he first entered the hall, he was stunned by the people in front of him!
I saw a sloppy old man lying on the big chair in the center of the hall. He had white eyebrows and a ruddy complexion. He had his legs crossed, his head in one hand, and a sapphire-colored wine gourd in the other.
And this person is none other than Beifeng Swordsman, Tang Biao!
Tang Biao's mouth opened and closed, and bursts of snoring could be heard. An Chen's expression froze. This image seemed to be far from the four-peaked sword-headed figure in Bai Xiaosheng's mouth.
However, people should not be judged by their appearance!
Anyway, I had nothing to do, and An Chen didn't want to disturb Tang Juan. On the other hand, the spiritual energy here was rich, so I might as well practice some training to avoid wasting time.
Thinking of this, he sat directly on the floor, running the Taixuan Stone Sword Sutra, and polishing the acupoints bit by bit according to the movement route of the technique.
This meditation lasted two hours.
--bite!
A sound came from An Chen's body. Looking inside, one of the acupuncture points was round and full, filled with spiritual energy. After a little movement, he felt a little more powerful.
An Chen's lips curled up slightly, now he was only one step away from entering the late stage of the Condensation Point Realm.
--ha!
A yawn woke An Chen from his meditation. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the old man opposite him looking at him like he was looking at a monster.
He narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "You are the one Rong Yatou said...what is that one called?"
An Chen's mouth twitched and he smiled awkwardly: "Disciple An Chen."
"Yes, yes, An Chen. That's what I was called." Tang Bao clapped his hands and said.
Then he pressed the handrail lightly, and his whole body flew into the air towards An Chen.
When he arrived, he grabbed An Chen's hand with a smile and said, "I just saw you polishing the acupoints. The technique is quite interesting, and there is even a trace of sword energy flowing. If you don't mind, can you let me have a look?"
After hearing this, An Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head.
When Tang Bao saw it, his expression immediately changed, and he said angrily: "You kid, do you think that Master, I will ask for your things for nothing?" After saying this, he had a thought and a volume of exercises in his hand.
If ordinary people knew the name of this technique, they would probably lose their fortune to obtain it. This is exactly what Bai Xiaosheng calls the "Five Swords Question" method.
An Chen was slightly shocked. He didn't expect that this old man would be so willing to exchange his unique skills for an unknown technique.
You must know that for practitioners, the level of the skill is important, but the harmony with oneself is the core.
Exchanging your own natal skills for a set of high-level skills that are not suitable for you is a very wasteful thing.
An Chen had no choice but to lie: "My disciple is not unwilling. It's just that I got this technique from a ruins and it's engraved in my soul. I can't lend it to you, Master."
When Tang Biao heard this, his eyes suddenly darkened, "Alas... What a pity! What a pity!"
Then he looked up again and asked, "What is your name?"
Ten thousand alpacas rushed past An Chen's heart, "Disciple An Chen!"
"Yes, yes! Look at my memory, it's really old! It's no longer useful!" Tang Bao said, stroking his beard.
"Master, he is getting stronger and stronger as time goes by. There is nothing stale about him."
"Hahaha... You're a sweet-tongued guy. But don't imitate Bai Xiaosheng's glib tone."
Then he sat back on the main seat and kept looking at An Chen.
An Chen felt uncomfortable all over, as if someone had stripped off his pants, but he did not dare to speak.
After about a cup of tea, Tang Bo finally said: "Girl Rong has already told me about your situation. I never expected that there are people in Qingxuan Realm who can cross two realms to kill enemies. It's really exciting! Haha!
Ha ha……"
However, An Chen's pupils shrank after hearing this, and cold sweat broke out from his back. He didn't expect that Tang Bao actually knew this secret.
Tang Bao saw An Chen's expression and comforted him: "You don't have to be so nervous. If you can't trust me, then who can Xiao Ronger trust in the entire Jingshan Sword Sect?"
An Chen relaxed and immediately understood the reason why Xiao Ronger asked him to come to Beifeng.
Seeing that An Chen was relieved, Tang Bao took out the sapphire-colored wine gourd behind him and took a sip, and then asked: "Want a sip?"
An Chen waved his hand.
Tang Bao showed a look of disdain on his face, "Wine is the essence of food. The more you drink, the younger you become! If you don't understand this principle, how can you become an immortal? What are you asking?"
An Chen shrugged, showing a look of helplessness.
And Tang Bao wiped the wine that fell on his beard and said: "I have met you today. Don't worry, since I promised Rong Girl, I will teach you carefully~ But I have to make a three-part agreement with you!"
An Chen said curiously: "Master, please speak."
Tang Biao said,
"First, do odd jobs during the day and practice at night!"
"Secondly, the swordsmanship I teach you cannot be taught privately to others."
"Third, if you cannot break through the shackles and reach the realm of God within two years, you will abandon your cultivation and return to where you came from."
An Chen's eyes narrowed after hearing this. He didn't think there was any problem with the first two, but this last one was a bit overbearing.
He originally wanted to ask what happened, but then he thought that if he couldn't break through to the Yanshen realm in two years, it would be better to forget everything and become a fool again.
"Okay! I promise!" An Chen bowed his head to Tang Bao.
Tang Biao nodded, and couldn't help but feel a hint of appreciation for this young man in his heart!
"Okay, you go down first. Remember to wait for me at Guanjian Lake tonight."
Ning Chen bowed, "Yes, and besides..." An Chen raised his head and looked at Tang Bao, wanting to ask other questions.
But who knew that Tang Bao had already closed his eyes slightly and fell asleep again. The sapphire gourd fell aside, and the wine flowed down from the chair, drawing a thin line.
Chapter completed!
