Three hundred and ninetieth chapters, it is better not to see each other
After a day of traveling and visiting more than ten teleportation crossings, Lu Feng finally arrived at the southern part of the mainland and arrived at Xuanfeng City where the rumored "Sword Master Ye Yu" reappeared.
The closer you get to Xuanfeng City, the more pedestrians you see along the way. From the Heavenly Soul Realm to the Seven Soul Realm, they are all attracted by the "Ye Yu Sword Master" who has half-step to the Holy Soul Realm, and come here admiringly.
There are countless.
Lu Feng stood outside Xuanfeng City, which was crowded with people, and finally squeezed out a way to the city gate.
"strangeness?"
Lu Feng looked at the not crowded Xuanfeng City gate entrance and was a little curious as to why those people gathered outside the city gate didn't go in. Could it be that the city lord had issued some ban?
With some doubts, Lu Feng retracted one foot that he had already stepped into the city, and retreated outside the city gate where the crowd gathered. He called out to a soul master at the outermost edge and asked, "Brother, where are you gathered?"
Why is this?"
The soul master who was stopped by Lu Feng turned around, glanced at Lu Feng, and replied impatiently: "Of course it's to see the sword power left by Sword Master Ye Yu."
Lu Feng looked serious and noticed that everyone was looking in the same direction. Looking from a distance, he could vaguely see some new marks on the city wall.
"No wonder it attracts so many people," Lu Feng understood instantly. There were traces of the battle left by "Sword Master Ye Yu" on the city wall. These people came here, hoping to learn something from the traces left behind.
.
Even if you can understand even a tiny bit of the battle traces left by the Half-Step Saint Soul Realm, the benefits can be enough to reverse the future of an ordinary soul master.
Lu Feng also wanted to see what sword skills the "Ye Yu Sword Master" who pretended to be him had left on the city wall and whether it was really Ye Yu's sword skills. He immediately blended into the crowd, just like the soul master who was questioned before.
Squeeze hard towards the city wall.
It took Lu Feng a while to finally squeeze to a place with a wider view, where he could vaguely see large traces of the city wall.
"Is it really Ye Yu's swordsmanship?"
Lu Feng felt a little surprised, someone was really pretending to be him!
Lu Feng looked intently at the sword marks left on the city wall, deducing the figure of the swordsman in his mind. With his understanding of Ye Yu's swordsmanship, he quickly discovered some clues from those marks.
Ye Yu - "Kill in the well."
Ye Yu - "Moon Arc."
Ye Yu - "Ghost Thorn."
The sword marks of these three moves were repeated many times, and at least half of the marks left on the city wall were left by these three moves.
If it were traces of actual combat, it would obviously be unreasonable to use the basic sword moves in Ye Yu's swordsmanship so frequently.
Through observation, Lu Feng could conclude that the sword marks on the city wall were not left due to battle, but were done deliberately!
"What is the purpose?" Lu Feng was confused. Did he just want to tell the world by leaving these sword marks?
As the most basic sword moves in Ye Yu's swordsmanship, those friends who were close to Lu Feng three years ago are very familiar with them. Even if they don't need to teach them, they can deliberately imitate them. Even his former enemies want to build a city wall.
It is not difficult to leave traces on it.
Lu Feng's eyes continued to be fixed on the city wall, and he could not help but slowly frown as he deduced other sword moves from the countless sword marks.
"Has the sword mark been covered twice?!"
Lu Feng noticed that some sword marks that should have been continuous were now intermittent and messy on the city wall. If he hadn't understood Ye Yu's sword skills, he wouldn't have been able to see these clues.
"Someone is deliberately covering it up?" Lu Feng could tell that the method used to cut off the sword marks and cover the real sword moves was not the same person who used Ye Yu's sword technique, and he couldn't help but feel more curious.
Friend or foe?
After careful deduction, Lu Feng still noticed traces of several other moves of Ye Yu's sword skills.
Ye Yu - "Gu Hongshan."
Ye Yu - "Sparkling light and thousands of waves."
Ye Yu - "The breeze ripples."
Lu Feng had only taught these Ye Yu sword moves to two people in total. One was the sword attendant he once had in the Dixuan Realm, and the other was his confidante Qingxue, who had experienced countless lives and deaths with him.
From the marks left on the city wall alone, it would be difficult for Lu Feng to discover any further information. Whether it was Qingxue or the sword attendant who had been following him, they could easily create these sword marks.
On the contrary, Lu Feng hoped that he would be retained by his former swordsman, because in his heart he was a little afraid of seeing Qingxue again, fearing that he would disappoint him now.
After all, the two of them had made an agreement before, whether it was in terms of swordsmanship or cultivation.
I learned from Shu Lao that Qingxue was also seriously injured in a sneak attack three years ago, but she escaped back to the sect and accepted the power of her bloodline. Although she no longer had the chance to break the saint, her strength was far greater than before.
Although Lu Feng was a little reluctant to accept it, he had a vague premonition in his heart that the person pretending to be Ye Yu Sword Master must be Qingxue.
Qingxue already has a strength close to the Heavenly Soul Realm. After being baptized by the power of the bloodline, it is reasonable to be able to reach the half-step Holy Soul Realm level in just three years. However, due to the restriction of the bloodline, the half-step Holy Soul Realm level is also reasonable.
Stepping to the Saint Soul Realm is her limit.
"If it were really you..."
In Lu Feng's mind, he recalled every detail of his experience with Qingxue, and recalled the little agreement they had made.
If the sword mark was really intentional on Qingxue's part, maybe she is still in the city at this moment.
Lu Feng squeezed out of the crowd and headed into Xuanfeng City. He walked into the city gate, glanced at the guards arranged by the city lord's palace on both sides to guard the city gate, took out a small bag of soul coins, and prepared to inquire about some things about Xuanfeng City.
Seeing Lu Feng's move, a look of joy flashed in the eyes of the guard on the side, but then his face was full of helplessness. He shook his head and sighed: "The city lord has an order not to spread rumors about the affairs in the city."
Lu Feng smiled, pushed the money bag into the guard's hand, and said, "Don't be nervous, I just came here to see the scenery. I wonder which building is tallest in the city? Has the best view?"
The guard was stunned for a moment, and then he smiled happily. As long as he didn't ask about the sword master Ye Yu, he would be very happy to accept the extra money.
Looking around Lu Feng with a strange look, the guard pointed to the west of the city and introduced: "The highest point in the city is Chongxin Pagoda, but the most scenic place is the Wanxing Forest in the east of the city. Speaking of this Wanxing Forest
, the scenery is really…”
"Thank you very much," Lu Feng held up his hand and interrupted the guard's long praise.
The guard looked at Lu Feng walking toward the west of the city and muttered. He clearly wanted to see the scenery, but he was not interested in Wan Xinglin.
"But why is he asking about Chongxin Pagoda?"
The guard was full of doubts. After being scolded by his companions, the guard came to his senses and continued to examine the passers-by.
Lu Feng was not inquiring about Chongxin Tower, he just wanted to go to the highest place in the city to verify his doubts.
There was an agreement between Lu Feng and Qingxue. If we want to trace everything back, we will start from the first time they met.
At that time, Lu Fengshang was studying with Shu Lao in the North Ghost Prison. When he went out alone for training again, he felt the elixir he had been looking for on the top of a mountain. Qingxue happened to be passing by and took a fancy to the elixir.
Panacea.
At that time, the two of them were both arrogant and arrogant people. Facing the opponent who was a fellow practitioner of the same age, neither of them wanted to give in. They fought all the way from the mountains to the top of the mountain. Whether it was fists, feet or swords, it was difficult to tell the difference. They had different feelings in their hearts.
Unsatisfied, the two of them fought for a whole day next to the elixir on the top of the mountain. Finally, they were both exhausted at the same time, so they stopped.
After the break, the two fought together again, vowing to determine the winner and prove that they were stronger than the other.
The two of them have always been the top beings among their peers since they were young. How have they ever met such a rival?
In countless evenly matched battles, the two gradually developed a feeling of sympathy for each other. Although they still had a competitive spirit in their hearts, there was no hostility in their eyes.
By the end of the fight, Qingxue no longer cared about the elixir and claimed that as long as Lu Feng gave in and left the top of the mountain, she would give up the elixir.
Accept defeat?
How could Lu Feng agree? He was young and frivolous and would never bow his head in front of a woman.
The two fight together again, but how can they decide the winner?
At that time, Qingxue was approaching the point where she had broken through from the early to the middle stage of the Earth Soul Realm. She thought that she would be able to defeat Lu Feng after she broke through. During the break to rest and recover, she made an appointment with Lu Feng to fight for a month before returning to this dry mountain.
Little did he know that Lu Feng was also at the point of breakthrough and immediately responded.
The two sealed the elixir and decided to fight for the next month.
Soon, the January period arrived, and the two of them appeared at the top of Dry Mountain again. Looking at each other who had also broken through to the middle stage of the Earth Soul Realm, they couldn't help but laugh, and they lost interest in taking action.
Later, Lu Feng and Qingxue made an agreement. Whenever they met, they would find a nearby commanding height and fight.
As for that elixir, it is still sealed there. Lu Feng had already found a replacement within a month of his breakthrough.
…
Lu Feng came to the foot of Chongxin Pagoda and looked up at the seven-story octagonal brick and wood pavilion-style pagoda, with mixed feelings in his heart.
This time, he was no longer Qingxue's opponent.
Lu Feng felt surprisingly nervous and hesitated under the Chongxin Tower.
Better not to see each other.
"With my current condition and strength, what can I do to meet Qingxue who is at the half-step Saint Soul Realm?"
Lu Feng smiled mockingly to himself, now he might bring a lot of disappointment to Qingxue.
When he turned around and was about to leave, Lu Feng glanced at the dusty stone tablet in the distance, which was an introduction to the Chongxin Pagoda.
From the information left on the stone tablet, Lu Feng learned about the ancient and modern history of this Chongxin Pagoda. It was actually built to commemorate a Heavenly Soul Realm pharmacist from the Second Tribulation Era.
The name of the pharmacist is - "Tian Chong Holy Doctor."
Tian Chong was only at the Heavenly Soul Realm, but he was dubbed the "Holy Doctor" by the world because he saved countless people in his life and made admirable achievements. Although he did not reach the Holy Realm, his actions were no worse than anyone else's.
Holy doctor.
What touched Lu Feng most deeply was that in his later years, ancestor Tian Chong was seriously injured and his strength was completely disabled, but he still remained true to his original intention and continued to practice medicine and save people even until his death.
Lu Feng looked at the stone tablet, then looked up at the Chongxin Pagoda. He was deeply touched and finally took steps forward.
