The lone lamp in the studio danced, casting the shadows of the two people on the wall, stretching into long black shadows.
"Master, are you saying that Zhongxing Dengye may be able to move the meridians and unblock meridians tonight?" Qin Xiao's expression became solemn.
Su Baoping sighed softly: "More than thirty years have passed, and Zhongxing Dengye's desire to win has not weakened, but has become more persistent. He saw that you had the chance to win before, and knew that if the fight continued, Eulji Yuanban would definitely
There is no doubt that he will be defeated, so he spoke out to stop it."
"At his age, he actually cheated."
"You can't blame him." Su Baoping said: "It was my negligence. I didn't make it clear before the fight. If I had agreed with him that the outcome would be determined by a fight, he would not have caused trouble. He found a reason to stop him.
We have to fight again tomorrow, but we can’t say that we are breaking our promises.”
"Master, do you think he will teach Eulji Genban tonight?"
"He is very competitive and will not allow Ulji Yuanpan to be defeated by you." Su Baoping said calmly: "You are good at both the outer sword and the internal sword. Whether it is sword skills or internal swordsmanship, Ulji Yuanpan will be difficult to deal with.
"Smiling slightly, he said: "That set of swordsmanship was danced by the master after drinking when he went to the Bohai Sea more than 30 years ago. Although it is exquisite and unparalleled in the entire Bohai Sea, it is not as good as the master's later swordsmanship.
The sword technique is much inferior. Zhongxing Dengye regards that sword technique as unparalleled, but among the subtraction techniques created by the master, it is not considered to be the top skill."
"Can the True Sword of the Red Heart count?"
"That's natural." Su Baoping said with a smile: "The True Sword of Red Heart ranks first among the three inner swords, except...!" Suddenly paused, and then said: "So Eulji Yuanpan
I can no longer defeat you in terms of swordsmanship and swordsmanship. The only chance is to break into the sixth level overnight and suppress you with my state cultivation."
Qin Xiao frowned and said: "Zhongxing goes to the wild to teach his skills, and wants to make Yiji Yuanpan enter the sixth level overnight?"
"To break through the realm, you need to meet two conditions. I have already said this before when I taught you the technique."
Qin Xiao nodded and said: "First of all, you need enough inner Qi, and in addition, you also need extraordinary understanding to turn the inner Qi into your own use."
"That's right." Su Baoping said with a smile: "Ulji Yuanban's talent is indeed extraordinary. If he gets enough inner energy tonight, he may not be able to step into the sixth level. This is already the only one he can beat you with tomorrow.
Path. Since Zhongxing Dengye has agreed to compete again tomorrow morning, he will already be able to teach the skills tonight."
Qin Xiao's expression became solemn.
"Are you worried that you won't be able to defeat him after he steps into the sixth level tonight?"
"Yes." Qin Xiao nodded and said, "At least we are not sure of victory."
Su Baoping got up and walked to the bed, opened the wooden window and looked out the window.
It was dark outside the window, the sea surface was rippled, and the flower boat was swaying slightly with the waves.
"I never asked you before, who gave you the True Sword of True Heart?" Su Baoping did not turn around, but asked softly: "Can you tell me now?"
Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment and asked instead: "Master, can I ask you a question first?"
"you say!"
"Is the divine master the sword god?" Qin Xiao finally asked: "But the great master of Sword Valley?"
Su Baoping turned around and said with a smile: "It seems you do know Sword Valley."
"So, the Master is really the Sword God?" Although he had expected it, Su Baoping admitted it himself, which still surprised Qin Xiao: "You...are you the sword boy of the Sword God?"
Su Baoping sat down cross-legged, nodded and said: "Yes, the master is the great master, who created the Sword Valley with his own hands, and it became the holy land of swordsmanship."
"Then have you been to Sword Valley?"
Su Baoping shook his head and said: "No. Although the master founded Sword Valley, he spent very little time in Sword Valley in his life. He traveled around the world, and I followed him intermittently for several years, but I did not always serve him.
"He shook his head and sighed: "He is a carefree and unruly person. He leaves as soon as he wants. Sometimes he suddenly disappears. I can only wait and concentrate on practicing. Sometimes he will come back after a few months, sometimes even after a year.
No trace of him."
"The master's inner sword skills were taught by the sword god?"
"That's right." Su Baoping said: "That year I traveled to Xichuan with him, and he saw a waterfall. He stayed there for seven days and seven nights, and thought about the first inner sword, which was the True Sword of the Heart." Lip.
Jiao Pan smiled and said: "The master taught me this set of inner swords. He said that I am an honest and kind-hearted person with a pure heart, so he named the first inner sword kung fu the True Sword of the Heart."
Qin Xiao suddenly realized that the word "Red Heart" in the True Sword of Red Heart came from Su Baoping.
"The Red Heart True Sword is the first inner sword. It has a sharp sword energy and a strong killing intent." Su Baoping sighed: "So those who practice this sword must have a generous and easy-going temperament. Only in this way can the killing intent of the Red Heart True Sword be eliminated."
.”
Qin Xiao thought that when Pharmacist Shen was in Jiazi Prison, he seemed to be very easy-going, but when they met in Hangzhou, he could feel Pharmacist Shen's aggressive attitude.
Qin Xiao naturally didn't know what kind of temper Su Baoping had when he was young, but this time they met, this old monk was not a pure and kind person, but he was really easy-going to him these days.
"In order to weaken the killing intent of the inner sword, the master later learned two more inner swords, which were later collectively known as the three inner swords of Sword Valley...!" Su Baoping stared at Qin Xiao and said: "As far as I know
, the master passed the True Heart Sword to his eldest disciple Shen Wuchou!"
"Shen Wuchou?" Qin Xiao was startled, but immediately understood that Pharmacist Shen was a pseudonym, and the real name of his cheap master was Shen Wuchou.
"Your True Sword of True Heart was naturally taught by Shen Wuchou." Su Baoping looked at Qin Xiao and said: "What is the connection between you and Shen Wuchou? Besides Shen Wuchou, do you know other people in Sword Valley?
"
Since Qin Xiao knew that Su Baoping was the sword boy of the Sword God, he had a deep connection with Sword Valley, so he no longer concealed the matter. He met Yaoshi Shen in Jiazi Prison and later met his junior aunt Mu Ye.
Ji's story has been told, but as for the part about meeting Mr. Tian Hongying, the Fourth Master, at Duankong Castle outside the pass, it's too cumbersome to talk about, so I simply didn't talk about it.
"That's it." Su Baoping said with a smile: "I didn't expect that you and Sword Valley have such a deep connection." He smiled and said: "I also know Ye Ji'er. Among the master's six disciples, except for the third, Ye Ji'er
Her talent is the highest, but she is also the most neglectful. When the master mentioned her, he loved her very much and treated her as his own daughter, so he indulged her very much."
He seemed to recall the time he spent with the Sword God, and his brows were filled with warmth.
When Qin Xiao heard him mentioning his little sister-in-law, he immediately felt closer to him and said with a smile: "My little sister-in-law is greedy for gambling and it is true... she really doesn't care about martial arts." What came to mind, he asked: "Master, they
Are you also aware of your existence?"
"I have never been to Sword Valley. Although I have a deep connection with Sword Valley, I am not from Sword Valley." Su Baoping said: "Although I am willing to be the master's sword boy, the master has never regarded me as a sword boy.
He only treats me as his old friend. When the master travels around the world, he does not reveal his identity, so the world does not know that he has a sword boy like me next to him."
Qin Xiao nodded, moved his lips, but stopped talking.
"What do you want to say?" Su Baoping asked softly.
Qin Xiao hesitated for a moment and then said softly: "Master, you...have you not seen the Sword God for many years? Do you know...do you know where he is now?"
Su Baoping originally had a slight smile on his face, but when he heard Qin Xiao's words, his amiable expression suddenly turned cold and stern. He stared at Qin Xiao's eyes and asked: "Do you know the whereabouts of the master?"
Qin Xiao was stared at by Su Baoping's sharp eyes. He really felt like his back was hairy. He didn't dare to lie. He said softly: "Junior, I heard that the Sword God... the Sword God seems to have passed away."
"Do you know why the master passed away?"
"I don't know." Qin Xiao shook his head. When he was in Hangzhou, Princess Sheyue mentioned the Sword God to him and let Qin Xiao know that the Sword God died in Kyoto, and the saint also built a tomb for the Sword God and named it
For the Demon Tomb, why did the Sword God die? Who in the world could kill him? Princess Sheyue didn't know. Qin Xiao didn't know whether Su Baoping knew about the existence of the Demon Tomb, and it was hard to tell at this moment.
Su Baoping's hands were clenched into fists, and he turned to look out the window, his eyes as cold as knives.
"Shen Wuchou is your master, so after all, the master is also your master." After a long time, Su Baoping's expression returned to calmness, he stared at Qin Xiao and asked: "Qin Xiao, let me ask you, as a swordsman
Disciple Gu, do you have the responsibility to avenge your master?"
Qin Xiao was startled, raised his hand and scratched his head, and said: "Master, do you think I am a disciple of Sword Valley?"
"Shen Wuchou is one of the six major disciples of Sword Valley." Su Baoping said solemnly: "His special skill is the True Sword of the True Heart. If he can teach the True Sword of the True Heart to you, he will naturally recognize you as his disciple, and you will
Why aren't you a disciple of Sword Valley?"
Qin Xiaodao: "Since Master said so, then I am indeed a disciple of Jiangu."
"You are a disciple of Sword Valley. Your master was killed. If you cannot avenge him, how can you stand between heaven and earth?" Su Baoping said solemnly: "If one day you know who is the real culprit who killed the master, you
Will the culprit be killed?"
Qin Xiao thought for a moment and then said: "This junior should do his best."
When Su Baoping heard this, he smiled, nodded and said, "Good boy, good boy."
"Master, do you know who killed the Sword God?" Qin Xiao asked.
Su Baoping said warmly: "Since your master didn't tell you, it means the time has not come yet. When the time comes, he will naturally tell the truth." After a pause, he said: "There is not much time before dawn, we should hurry up."
"Hurry up?" Qin Xiao opened his eyes wide and asked curiously: "What to do?"
"Pass on the skill." Su Baoping said: "If you can't break through to the sixth level tonight, you will be defeated by Eulji Yuanban's men in the battle tomorrow. If so, you know very well what the consequences will be.
"Looking at Qin Xiao's eyes, he said word by word: "If you want to survive, you must enter the sixth level before dawn. Other than that, there is no other way!"
