Chapter 268: For many years without a sword

The old scholar left the tea house and embarked on the road to the demon land.
The old shopkeeper rubbed his eyes and opened his eyes.
There was no one in the tea house, the old shopkeeper went to close the door, then turned and walked into the backyard.
The furnishings of the backyard are very simple, just an ordinary small yard.
There is an old locust tree in the middle of the yard and a well beside the old locust tree.
Then there is a stone table.
There is a long wooden bench.
The old shopkeeper walked forward slowly and found a on the courtyard wall.
He walked under the old locust tree and started digging.
After digging for about a quarter of an hour, a dark box appeared in the soil. The box was very long. It should be able to hold a sword in it, perhaps more directly. This is a sword box.
The old shopkeeper patted the soil lightly and moved softly, as if he was touching the bridegroom's face. He took out the sword case, took off his coat, and began to carefully wipe the square sword case.
Finally, the mud was wiped off, revealing his original appearance. It was a sword case with severe paint on one side. The material of the sword case was not a good thing. It seemed that it had been for many years, but it was not corroded too badly.
He carefully placed the sword case on the stone table, and then went to the ancient well to fetch water.
Lifting a bucket of water, the old shopkeeper opened the sword case. Inside was an unsheathed long sword with rust on its body and rust on its body. He poured some water on the stone table, then sat on the wooden bench and began to sharpen his sword.
He sharpened it for a long time, until the rust of the long sword was completely peeled off, until the long sword was cold and shining again.
To put it bluntly, this sword is in his hands, and there are not too many people who cannot kill.
In addition to the dozens of saints in the cloud, in addition to the big monsters in the demon land, except the sword fairy...
It turns out that there are still many people who cannot be killed.
The old shopkeeper’s old mind began to recall the scenes of those years of killing people, thinking about handing out a sword from there to make the other party undefeated, thinking about how to take away the other party’s life in the fastest time, thinking A lot, but finally sighed.
What did he say before?
"Under the world, sword practicers are the most abnormal. No matter who it is, standing in front of the threshold may not shrink back. I am afraid that life is not really important to them."
In fact, this sentence was wrong. He was also a swordsman, but he stood before the threshold and flinched. He didn't dare to carry the sword forward, and he hadn't even mentioned the sword in these years.
One is guilty, and the other is that he just wants to live.
Only now, it seems that I have to mention the sword.
A man in a white robe appeared in the muddy sight of the old shopkeeper.
The man stood in front of him with a sword hanging from his waist.
This person has a great reputation in the world. It used to be very big, but after slaying a Great Sea Monster a few days ago, he became even bigger. It can be said that no one in the world can compare with him.
Especially swordsmen can only look up to Chao Qingqiu.
The old treasurer is also a swordsman, and in those years when he became famous, he hadn't made Qingqiu, but now standing in front of him, even if he lifted the sword again, his hands were shaking.
Shaking comes from inner fear.
Even if he was also a swordsman standing in front of that threshold, facing a swordsman who had already crossed that threshold, there was still no possibility of victory.
He knew that Chao Qingqiu was probably here to kill him. He didn't know how Chao Qingqiu knew that he was here. He was clearly covered with sword spirit. He hadn't done anything for hundreds of years, and no one would. Thinking that this old tea shopkeeper would be a swordsman who climbed the stairs realm, Xu Ji seemed to be inferior to him in terms of kendo cultivation.
Chao Qingqiu looked at this character who only lived in the ancient books of Jianshan, and said two words indifferently, "Meng Jin."
When the old shopkeeper was chatting with the old scholar, he said that there was a man named Meng Jin who went to the demon land, thinking about going one step forward and crossing the threshold, but then he died. It was not like this, he I was in the demon land at the beginning, but because of some things, I didn’t dare to take that step forward, and finally returned to this coast, killed the old shopkeeper, and became like him, selling wine and selling tea. .
He said before that some people couldn't remember, not that he really couldn't remember it, but because he really didn't know.
He hasn't seen those people, so how come he is familiar.
Meng Jin looked at Chao Qingqiu, his old face was exhausted, "I just want to live."
Chao Qingqiu may understand, but not necessarily acceptable. If not, why didn't he leave Beihai?
Chao Qingqiu looked at Meng Jin, "Xu Ji is dead."
Xu Ji is his apprentice and his only apprentice.
If you go deeper, Xu Ji is his apprentice, Chen Sheng is his apprentice and grandson, and Li Fuyao has a close relationship with him.
There was no ups and downs in Meng Jin’s mood. He nodded,
He had a chance to cross the last threshold, but he was dragged down by too many things. Just standing in front of that threshold is not necessarily a good thing. Everyone is like you."
No one knew why Chao Qingqiu was able to take the last step in this world.
The swordsman line has become a thorn in the eyes of the three religions in the past six thousand years, and the sword fairy is not allowed to appear. Why Chao Qingqiu can become the sea under such a situation has always been a mystery.
Chao Qingqiu is not going to report this matter.
"Do you know what I want to ask?"
He looked at Meng Jin quietly.
A sword fairy wants to know something, not a very difficult thing.
Especially the person in front of him was very afraid of death.
"I want to live."
This is the second time Meng Jin said this sentence today. When he said this sentence this time, his tone was very weak, but the meaning was heavy.
If you don't save my life, you won't get the news.
He is not worried about Chao Qingqiu's rebellion, because Chao Qingqiu is not such a person.
Chao Qingqiu mocked: "I thought you sharpened the sword and put on this posture again, just to tell me that you still have a bit of pride as a swordsman."
Meng Jin frowned, "You are a sword fairy, anyone in the world can kill, I am not, I dare not shoot a sword against you."
This sentence was very frank, but it shouldn't have been said in the mouth of a swordsman of his state.
Today, if I were to be another swordsman who climbed the stairs, I'm afraid he would have drawn his swords.
What if you are a sword fairy?
Chao Qingqiu was expressionless, not sure what he was thinking.
Meng Jin whispered: "Chao Qingqiu, no one wants to die, and I don't want to. It doesn't make sense for you to kill me. Let me live, and you can get what you want."
Chao Qingqiu nodded, "Go ahead."
With Zhao Qingqiu's promise, Meng Jin put the sword back into the sword box, and then began to say something.
Chao Qingqiu listened very carefully and asked each other from time to time.
In order to survive, Meng Jin said all the things he knew without any concealment.
Chao Qingqiu got the answer she wanted.
He came to Beihai to kill the Great Demon Canghai, but it was incidental. The most important thing was to find this person and ask him something.
Can't ask, kill him.
Those things are very important.
