Two people who were not supposed to meet at this moment under the arrangement of fate met on a narrow road in the endless darkness.
The night was deep and darkness enveloped the earth.
The speckled stars and the dim light of the waning moon are far from enough to illuminate this world.
Compared with redemption, the white moonlight is more like a great irony and ridicule to those who walk in the darkness.
Under the first moonlit night of the new year, Wei Zhuang was holding a sheathed "shark tooth sword" in one hand, wearing a black gold floor-length robe, and his white hair dancing wildly in the wind and snow.
His handsome face was as carved by an artist, with snow-white eyebrows and a look of coldness and solemnity between his eyebrows.
Before, when Yan Du single-handedly hunted down Luo Wang's Jing Salamander and Zhan Ri, two top-notch killers, he was not as dignified as he is now.
Because of the opponent in front of him, he had no confidence in winning.
In other words, he lost too much.
Ever since he was young, he has been fighting openly and covertly with the person in front of him in various forms, and he wants to win against him once.
As small as a child holding a wooden sword to compete in swordsmanship, as big as representing Qin and South Korea competing for the world.
His wooden sword was broken.
South Korea also died.
Even if he wins by any means necessary, he must defeat him once. This has become his knot as a swordsman.
Who does Genie admire the most?
Probably the master, Guiguzi.
But the person he admires most is not Guiguzi, but a name... that he will never admit.
Gai Nie is dressed in white, with black hair flying in the wind. Unlike Wei Zhuang, who is evil and domineering, his temperament is more stable and mature.
Compared with Wei Zhuang, the sword master in the eyes of the world and the chief swordsman teacher of the Qin State, he is more like a benevolent and righteous knight.
His face was expressionless, looking at Wei Zhuang in front of him indifferently.
If a nearly perfect person like Genie could have any shortcomings, it would probably be indifference.
In fact, he also attached great importance to Wei Zhuang in his heart.
He has defeated Wei Zhuang many times, but that doesn't mean he can beat him next time.
Every time they meet again, he can clearly feel that Wei Zhuang is getting stronger.
He was not completely sure of winning.
He didn't seem to be completely sure of winning against anyone.
Even when facing opponents he has defeated before, he will give his best.
What's more, the person standing in front of him now is his destined enemy, his fellow junior brother Wei Zhuang.
"The world is in chaos." Gai Nie sighed calmly and looked at the broken house.
These two sentences refer to the fact that the common people are trapped in the blood and fire of the war, the people are displaced, and they are suffering from hardships and disasters. They mean that the smoke of war is everywhere.
Maybe this is an exclamation?
The common people, who have been torn by war, are in such hardship.
It seems that it is no longer possible to lurk quietly in this city.
The commotion was too loud.
Not to mention that the noise caused now has alarmed many people hiding in the dark and even in the open.
Just talk about the sword energy and sword intent that erupted during their battle. A real master would know at a glance that there is a master lurking in the city.
To be honest, Wei Zhuang's arrival was beyond his expectation.
He thought that people from the net would come to his door, and even thought that people from the Yin Yang family would find him, but he really didn't expect that his junior brother Wei Zhuang would find him not long after he settled down.
There are many forces within the Qin State, and the struggle for power is serious. However, the six kingdoms have not been completely destroyed, and everyone can still focus on the outside world.
Among the hundreds of schools of thought and rivers and lakes forces serving the Qin State, the Yin Yang Family and Luo Wang were the most fearful to him.
Even though Luo Wang and the Yin Yang Family could now be considered his colleagues, he still couldn't trust them.
This is not the first time that Zhao Gao and the Yin Yang family have done this to frame their colleagues and take advantage of the opportunity to gain greater power.
And if we talk about today's Da Qin officialdom, who is blocking Zhao Gao's path the most, one is him, and the other is the Shadow Secret Guard.
"There are hundreds of schools of thought, but I am the only one who dominates!" Wei Zhuang flicked the scabbard of his sword and looked at the man in white in front of him coldly and said.
His eyes were full of pride that was unparalleled in the world.
Zhuzi Baijia is a general term for various academic sects in this period. I am independent and horizontal, which refers to the alliances between countries for their own interests, and the destruction of alliances and conquests among each other.
The corners of Wei Zhuang's lips curved into a sarcastic arc.
The affairs of the world are nothing more than this.
The winds and clouds in the world are all happening between vertical and horizontal sides.
Suddenly, there was silence all around.
"Xiaozhuang, long time no see." Gai Nie spoke first and calmly sighed to Wei Zhuang.
"Brother." Wei Zhuang also said.
Looking at Gai Nie in front of him, the corners of Wei Zhuang's mouth curved again.
For some reason, he suddenly wanted to laugh.
…
midnight.
Inside the Little Saint’s Villa.
Tian Yan’s dormitory.
Tian Yan, who had fallen asleep, was suddenly awakened by a distant sound.
She sat up suddenly, and the quilt slipped off, revealing the snow-white... Confucian clothes underneath.
Ever since the sun broke into her room that day, she had always slept with her clothes on.
The sound is not loud.
But Tian Yan was awakened by the vigilance he had developed over the years.
Even though she is now the nominal third head of the Little Saint Xian Village, in fact, she has not forgotten her true identity, a top-notch killer in Luowang, and one of the Eight Swordsmen of the Yue King.
How could an undercover agent sleep with his eyes completely closed?
Over the past month, Tian Yan reviewed a lot of knowledge he had learned in the past, and also learned a lot of things he had never learned before.
Most of the time, Yan Lu and Zhang Liang came to teach her this month. There were also many lessons given to him by two seniors, Wan Zhang and Xunzi.
The skills practiced by Xunzi and Wan Zhang were not as profound as the ones she practiced, but as seniors in the world, their understanding of Confucianism, martial arts, and swords was far deeper than Tian Yan's.
This month of study has benefited Tian Yan a lot in all aspects.
She studies very seriously.
Confucian knowledge is very useful for cultivating one's moral character. The awe-inspiring righteousness and Confucianism contained in Confucian classics can be used to reconcile Tian Yan's murderous aura accumulated over many years of killing.
Can a person's heart be perfectly compatible with the awe-inspiring righteousness of Confucianism and the murderous aura of Luo Yu?
able.
As long as she has no heart, that's fine.
She can also learn from Confucian swordsmanship, which will be very helpful for her to complete her own swordsmanship.
After practicing Confucian swordsmanship for a month, I realized the profound meaning left by Confucian sages in swordsmanship.
At the same time, her own cultivation has not fallen behind. After a month of hard training, his ability to observe words and emotions has become somewhat more adept.
At the same time, although she did not break through again, her skills have also improved a lot. The most important thing is that her foundation is much more stable than before.
