10 Sword Fairy(1/2)
It is said that at the end of the Xia Dynasty, Emperor Gu died of a sudden illness, and his nine sons fought for the throne, causing civil strife in the dynasty and the people's livelihood.
There are also great demons and giants appearing, ghosts and monsters are everywhere, and spirits are rampant, causing chaos in the world.
At this moment, on the top of the wilderness mountain in the northwest, there is an immortal holding a sword. He sees the world in chaos, and feels sad that people are inferior to dogs.
Sui wanted to go down the mountain to save the people and save the people in the fire and water. Some friends heard about it and came to stop him. He cried loudly and said, "If you go here, there will be many dangers, or if you never come back, what will happen?"
The immortal held the sword in his hand, laughed, and said: "If you go and never come back, then you will never come back."
——Excerpted from "Jiuzhou Fairy Trail: Yunzhou Chapter"
…
Sifang City, inner courtyard of Xue Mansion.
Mo Chengjun was leaning on the recliner, holding a copy of "The Legend of Nine Provinces" in his hand and reading it carefully.
He spent a lot of money to buy this from an acquaintance's bookstore. It is said to be a masterpiece written by a strange person with the pen name "Suiyuan Jushi".
However, perhaps because it was involved in the inner story of immortality, or perhaps for other reasons, this book was not recognized by the imperial court and was classified as a banned book.
The human heart is always unsatisfied. The more banned a book is, the more it will arouse the interest of mortals and the better it will sell.
Yes, do you really think bookstore owners make money by selling books?
No, we can only make ends meet.
Only for these banned books, if one set is sold, it will be open for three years.
The reason why Mo Chengjun was able to get it was because he and the shop owner had been "in love" for a long time. The shop owner took it out in order to make money from him and see that he was interested in it.
The title of the book begins with "Jiuzhou". Naturally, this book is divided by states and has nine chapters in total.
The records are all about the deeds of immortals in various major states. Some of them are conclusive, while others are just superficial.
The Suiyuan layman who wrote the book is indeed knowledgeable, but he is not a real immortal monk. He only half understands many things, and it is difficult to distinguish between true and false.
To be honest, it is like a mortal looking at the world of immortals, with all kinds of conjectures and thoughts, some absurd but also true.
At this time, Mo Chengjun was turning to the Yunzhou chapter in the nine chapters.
He still doesn't know many words now, and it is very laborious to read. Many times he just guesses, but this does not prevent him from carefully understanding the spirit of it.
Once you go there, if you never come back, you will never come back. It really makes people's blood boil.
In reality, after the Sword Immortal passed through, there was more and more news about the war on the northwest border. It seemed that only at this time did the entire Sifang City really face the surprise war launched by the Tiger Demon Kingdom.
At this point, Daxuan officials seemed to have reacted. They pulled away the fig leaf and really started to work for this war.
As a result, more news spread to the public.
Only then did Mo Chengjun know that five large cities and hundreds of forts had fallen in the entire northwest border.
The Tiger Demon Kingdom mobilized at least one million demon troops to continuously encroach on the thousands-kilometer-long border.
That posture was actually not the usual one of grabbing property, resources and people and running away, but a real earnest desire to occupy and encroach on Daxuan's territory.
The entire northwest border defense system is so rotten that it is beyond imagination!
Calculating the time again, if it were not for the three thousand sword immortals passing through, the entire army of the Shanjun Demon Kingdom would have been pushed to the Sifang City at this time.
By then, Mo Chengjun might have to flee again.
In terms of scale, this is an out-and-out national war.
Of course, this was news before, and it was a situation that the Galaxy Sword Sect had not intervened in. It is different now.
Three thousand sword immortals came out of the barren mountains and headed west with their swords. They did not disperse their forces to clear out the demon soldiers, nor did they compete for the land and population.
They just walked straight ahead, and wherever they passed, the demons were wiped out!
They just aimed at the capital of the Mountain Lord Demon Kingdom, the base camp of the Demon Kingdom, and headed straight for them, killing them all along the way!
Good guy, when this news reached Mo Chengjun's ears, he was a little confused.
Before he fell asleep, he was a proper science and engineering man, but he also liked novels.
He had read many wars and the like, but he had never seen a novel in which the war was fought like this?
There is no seizing positions, no exchange of offense and defense, and there is no interspersed encirclement, no encirclement of three and one missing.
Sometimes I go straight to Huanglong.
And you, as you please...
Yes, in Mo Chengjun's view, this is the tactic of the Three Thousand Sword Immortals, which is the ultimate in brainlessness and recklessness.
He also wanted to find a map to see if they had any back-up plans.
Of course, the map and the like were forbidden books in the forbidden book, and he didn't get them at all.
But he still made a simple simulation based on the news that kept coming.
Then, he realized that he was simply overthinking it. Those sword immortals were really just cutting through with all their might.
At this time, Mo Chengjun felt that he was looking at a fool, but as more and more news of victory came, he had to start to face it and start to reflect.
Gradually, he suddenly realized that it was not these people who were fools, but him.
He always looks at everything in this world with the eyes of the past, and always likes to use his previous knowledge to measure what is right and wrong in this world.
This is a mistake in itself, and it is even more a hindrance in knowledge.
With reflection, Mo Chengjun began to analyze and observe rationally.
Then, he discovered that the methods of these sword fairies were direct but very clever.
The Three Thousand Sword Immortals are very strong, but in the end they are only three thousand.
If you really want to allocate it to the long northwest border and compete with millions of demon armies for land ownership, you will be spreading your own strength.
Sword Immortal is never good at guarding, defense, or war control.
The only thing they are good at is attacking, attacking, attacking again.
They are the most lethal group of people in all the Immortal Sects, and what they like most is the indomitable one who breaks through the southern wall.
The three thousand sword immortals together were powerful enough to overturn the table, and that's what they did.
The more he understands and sees clearly, the more Mo Chengjun sighs.
The war in this world is different from the one in his memory.
There are strong men in this world who can defeat ten thousand. Certain conspiracies and tricks are really not as good as absolute power!
Of course, people are still human, and they will have hesitations, worries, care about family ties, and consider the consequences.
And these will affect a person's judgment. Even if he knows that it is right and is the right path, he may not dare to do it.
This is human beings, they never really only look at the long term, but these sword fairies don't.
They are decisive and brave, and they have the determination to go where the way is, even if there are thousands of people.
They seem to be just like the immortals in the short story, with the heroic spirit of "if you go and never come back, you will never come back."
Under the sun, a breeze blew, and the mottled tree shadows were dancing. Mo Chengjun shook his head slightly, as if he felt that he understood this group of people.
He suddenly wanted to take a look, look at the group of sword immortals, look at the Galaxy Sword Sect, and see if they were the same people as he imagined.
He looked forward to it even more, looking forward to the arrival of the female swordsman.
…
As if he sensed Mo Chengjun's thoughts, a rainbow light came from the sky and fell next to him, making him straighten up in shock.
When the rainbow light dissipated, the female swordsman he had longed for appeared. Before he could react, the female swordsman had already grabbed his wrist.
Her hands are white and slender, as if they were carved from white jade. Just looking at them is a pleasure.
But the breath that came out of the palm was bone-chilling, and it penetrated into his body, wandering around the whole body.
Mo Chengjun shuddered involuntarily. The breath was so cold that it made him feel like he was in the middle of winter.
The female sword cultivator slowly frowned, as if something difficult was bothering her.
After a moment, she withdrew her hand, looked at Mo Chengjun with a pair of bright eyes and asked: "You really don't have true energy and mana, and even now, there is still no trace of it?"
Facing her exploration, Mo Chengjun couldn't laugh or cry: "Didn't you confirm it before?"
"You were seriously injured at that time. Although I checked, I can't rule out that you used some special forbidden technique.
But now I see that you have really never practiced cultivation, not even a trace of it."
The female swordsman's eyes brightened slightly and she asked: "So, how did you do it?"
Mo Chengjun really didn't know how to answer this question.
In fact, before that, that little kid Xue Ling had pestered him and asked him countless times.
But if you do it, you do it. If you insist on him describing it, he really doesn't know how to speak.
So, he used the simplest method.
"Actually, that's how it was done."
