Chapter 151 Secret
In a quiet room.
An octogenarian tells the secret hidden in ancient books.
"About a hundred years ago, there was a great master who liked to use swords. It is said that he always attacked the enemy with one move.
After one move, the winner will be the best.
However, this great master never accepted disciples in his life. When he was in his old age, he suddenly had the idea of inheritance.
So he spent ten years fighting the twelve states of Daxia, challenging dozens of innate masters of different forces.
Thirty-two battles, with mixed results.
He only made one move in every battle.
And every time he makes a move, he uses the most ordinary long sword.
After each battle, the sword will be covered with cracks because it cannot withstand the domineering moves.
At this time, the master would throw the sword into the downtown area, allowing people to appreciate and observe, and even take away the sword.
Thirty-two battles lead to thirty-two swords.
The sword in Boss Jiang’s hand is one of them.”
Jiang Shang touched his chin and said with a smile:
"So, this sword may be hidden in the inheritance of that great sword master?"
Guan Mao nodded and said, "Yes."
Jiang Shang doesn't care about the inheritance. His current major practice has been settled. The future martial arts road is smooth, so there is no need to covet the inheritance of other great masters.
He thought about it and asked again:
"Since it is the inheritance of the Grand Master, don't you want it?
As far as I know, you have been in the pawn shop for a long time. It shouldn’t be too difficult to use your skills to make such a sword.”
Guan Mao looked embarrassed and hesitated for a while before saying:
"I did take the sword secretly, but I just put it in my hands for three years but couldn't do it, so I finally put it back."
Jiang Shang looked like he suddenly realized:
"That's to say that this rumor is really just a rumor, and you're not sure?"
Guan Mao waved his hand quickly and said, "No, I am stupid in my qualifications and cannot understand the mystery of the sword.
But Boss Jiang has a genius, since he knows that the sword contains inheritance, he will surely gain something soon."
Jiang Shang nodded, and his eyes looked at the old man with a much gentler look.
"For your vision, I will trust you once."
"I already know the secret of the sword, tell me your troubles."
Guan Mao quickly said, "Okay."
"It's just that I am a young man who trusts others when he is plotted to kill a kind-hearted person as a thief's nest.
And that kind-hearted man and a son who are studying arts outside, he is still a genius.
When I learned that my family had been destroyed by me, I went out of the mountain to chase me.
At first we were able to compete with each other, but later he became more and more brave. When he fought with him for the last time, I was seriously injured and barely escaped.
Hiding all the way, finally came to Qingyang County to hide its name.
But I know that man has never given up looking for me. If I don't die for a day, that man will not give up.
For my poor disciple, I must die, so I hope Boss Jiang can send my body to that man.
In this way, Boss Jiang can still make a good relationship with that man.”
Jiang Shang rolled his eyes: "Who is that person? I still have to make a good relationship with him. I'm very idle."
Guan Mao said: "This... his name is Xu Bin. Some people in the world call him the double master of calligraphy and swords. He is both a great scholar in literature and Taoism and a great master of martial arts.
Now he is the chief of Baihe Wenyuan, with peaches and plums all over the world. He is the leader of the literati of Yongzhou. Li Wenlan, the Minister of Rites in the court, is his senior brother."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Shang couldn't help but be stunned. The look he looked at Guan Mao with the first time he felt like a master.
Not a master, I can't do this.
If you destroy such a family, you can still live until now.
He has to praise him no matter how hard he is.
However, it seems not difficult to understand that the old man stayed underground to guard the gate all day long and could not see the light of day.
"Actually, compared to your old grudges, what I am more interested in is your way to restrain your breath. Xu Bin asked you to escape back then, perhaps because his skills have not yet reached his level.
But with his current status, it is not surprising that he invites practitioners who can question the secrets of heaven.
With the method of counting the heavenly numbers, I can hide for twenty years. Mr., please help me.”
Jiang Shang bowed seriously.
Guan Mao's face changed, and he never expected Jiang Shang's brain circuit to be so strange.
Most people hear such a secret.
Either keep a distance from him or take him off on the spot, or make a good relationship with the master.
This kind of literary leader and martial arts master can sometimes change a person's destiny.
But what Jiang Shang thought of was his method of hiding.
"Why, you don't want your life anymore. Are you unwilling to give up on this little thing?"
Seeing that Guan Mao was not speaking, Jiang Shang frowned and the pressure suddenly fell.
Guan Mao felt he was hasty for the first time.
However, except for Jiang Shang, he really couldn't find a second person who could protect his apprentice in a short period of time.
His face was gloomy and his eyes were full of struggle when he looked at Jiang Shang.
"Since you don't want to, then forget it."
Jiang Shang waved his hand and said:
"I heard your secret today, and I think it's a reward I haven't heard of before. You go."
Guan Mao gritted his teeth and said, "No, it's just that I have a hidden secret."
"That's not unwilling."
Jiang Shang was so careful that he said: "I am not a person who is forced to do anything, and I am still a little interested at this moment. I may not be interested until tomorrow.
Even if you want to give it to me for free, it depends on my mood at that time."
Guan Mao looked embarrassed and said, "I hope Boss Jiang can agree to me first."
Jiang Shang didn't say anything, but his eyes became indifferent.
Guan Mao gave up and struggled, "The reason why I can hide my breath and not be found is because I encountered a family on the way.
It was a family of three. They were not chased by anyone, but when they met me, they were already dying.
So they wanted to entrust the baby in their arms to my husband, but I was also a stalemate at that time, so how could I take any burden?
So they gave me a jade cicada, saying that it was carried with you in close proximity and could deceive the heaven and earth, and no one could find his whereabouts.
I didn't know why I felt compassion at that time. Perhaps I wanted to atone for the sins in my hands, so I agreed.
I buried the couple and ran away with the baby.
Unexpectedly, the jade cicada really works. Since I brought it with me, the pursuit I encountered has become smaller and smaller.
But Jade cicada also has one disadvantage, that is, it can only work for one person.
This is why that couple was killed.”
Guan Mao looked sad and said, "The baby from that time became my apprentice today. I am not long after my life and should have died silently.
But unexpectedly, my silly disciple actually had the blood of the demon clan, so I could only suppress the strangeness on her body with Jade Cicada.
Otherwise, if the blood on her body is exposed, she will definitely die.”
Guan Mao stared at Jiang Shang and said, "Boss Jiang, I am unwilling to agree, but I just can't agree."
He made up his mind as long as Jiang Shang showed a trace of intention.
Even if he died on the spot, he would not reveal any information about his disciples.
Jiang Shang nodded and said, "So that's it."
He couldn't help but think that the blood seal on his body seemed to be a piece of jade. Could it be that this is the secret method of unifying the demon clan?
"You go."
"As for your apprentice, when you want to die, just send it here together."
Guan Mao was completely stunned now.
"Boss Jiang, are you?"
Jiang Shang smiled and said, "As humans, they have to do a few good things occasionally."
"But keep your body for me, I have to give gifts."
Guan Mao paused for a moment and bowed to Jiang Shang.
"Thank you, Boss Jiang."
