Chapter 17 The Invincible Sword in the World (1)
The appearance and interior of the Song Family Mountain City will give people two completely different feelings. If the former reminds people of offensive and defensive killings, the latter will only remind people of Ning Yi and Peace.
There are hundreds of houses distributed in the city, connected by more than ten orderly bluestone-paved avenues. The most distinctive feature is that it rises layer by layer along the mountain. Each level is connected by stone steps and slopes.
It is convenient for residents to drop off their cars immediately. Trees and flowers are planted along the road, and spring water from the mountain is introduced to form streams, which are interspersed in the garden residences, forming small bridges, flowing water, ponds and pavilions and other endless beautiful scenery. The space is spacious and comfortable, and it has the scenery of Jiangnan gardens.
Being in it is like being in a big garden on a mountain.
The main buildings in the city are gathered on a large platform about two miles around the ninth floor. The towering pavilions and elegant architecture are made of wood and stone. From the eaves to the flower windows, the carvings and decorations are meticulous, creating a atmosphere full of southern culture.
The majesty of the breath.
As Yang Guang and others walked in this city, they saw very ingenious scenery everywhere they saw, and their mood naturally became comfortable.
"I heard that in the mountain city of the Song family, there is a knife sharpening hall that belongs exclusively to the 'Heavenly Sword' Song Que." Yang Guang said, "I wonder where it is?"
"At the end of the mountain city." Song Que gestured to the higher place and said, "But there are just some stones and knife rests there, there is nothing worth seeing."
Yang Guang smiled and said: "In this city where the Heavenly Sword lives, things related to the sword are the most worthy of appreciation. Why don't you take me to see it?"
Song Que was silent. The sunlight passed through the branches and leaves of a short tree by the road and fell on his solid-colored robes. The atmosphere in the room became quieter. "Your Majesty wants to see my sword."
"Not bad." Yang Guang raised his hand and plucked a leaf from the short tree. There was a little more sunlight that could shine through, and the extra spot of light was right in front of Song Que's eyes.
Song Que looked directly at Yang Guang, ignoring the sunlight shining on his eyes from the side, as if he didn't feel the glare at all, and said: "No matter how good the sword is, it is just a common thing of gold and iron. If you want to admire it, then
The most vivid sights can only be seen when waving."
"The sword is the commander of a hundred soldiers, a weapon of war. It should not be placed quietly on the knife rest. Its most charming moment should be when it is waved towards the enemy." Yang Guang stepped forward and walked along the Qingshi Street.
He walked up and waved the hand holding the leaf casually. Eunuch Wei already knew what he meant and stayed where he was with all the other entourage.
Yang Guang's entourage stopped, and Song Zhi, Song Lu and others also stopped and accompanied Eunuch Wei and the others.
Song Que walked slowly, no more, no less, shoulder to shoulder with Yang Guang.
In the team, Shi Zhixuan, who had been holding his hands between his sleeves and with his back slightly arched, looked at the two people walking together in front of him, looked sideways at the small trees on the roadside, and suddenly chuckled, shaking off his clothes.
Xiu followed suit.
Eunuch Wei and others wanted to stop him, but it was obvious that he was in a relaxed mood, as if the breeze was lingering in his heart. He forgot his words for a moment and watched helplessly as he followed Yang Guang and Song Que.
The three of them seemed to be moving at about the same speed, but they each had their own pace. Therefore, when they actually arrived at the knife-sharpening hall, Song Que naturally took two steps ahead and stepped into the hall.
As he walked towards the depths of the knife grinding hall, he said without looking back: "Your Majesty came to Lingnan just to see the mountains and rivers and Song's sword?"
"Of course there are other things."
Yang Guang stopped at the door and turned around to look at the scenery in the courtyard. The most conspicuous thing was a tall old locust tree with lush branches and leaves. It was in flowering season and there was a fragrance that could only be smelled accidentally.
Open, dotted with this simple and slightly solemn courtyard. He walked under the locust tree, spread his palms and turned his wrists, letting the leaves spin lightly and fall at the root of the tree.
Said, "For example, I would like to invite Zhennan Gong to live in Luoyang for a while."
"Your Majesty should know that Song has never entered the court in these years." Song Que's voice came from the knife-sharpening hall. There were no candles in the hall and there seemed to be no windows. Even in the daytime, it seemed a bit dark and it was difficult to see other people.
Where, but after passing through this empty hall, the sound seemed a little clearer than before, and it seemed that it was also contaminated by the cold air of the sword hanging on the wall of the hall.
"I know." Yang Guang had unknowingly changed his identity and said straight to the point, "The biggest reason is that you, the Song clan, insist on pure Han tradition and believe that the current royal family of the Sui Dynasty is not worthy of occupying the orthodox position."
Yang Guang spoke too directly, and what he said was obviously just one of the many reasons why the Song family was unwilling to truly surrender, but it made people feel that this was the only reason. This way of speaking made Song Que feel a little surprised
, when Song Que walked out of the hall with his own sword, there was still a hint of surprise in his expression.
Yang Guang ignored what he thought and continued: "Actually, the Hongnong Yang family of the Sui Dynasty royal family originated from the Western Han Dynasty. It was originally the orthodox Han family. However, due to changes in the times, the surname was changed at the order of the Western Wei Emperor. Besides,
, the inheritance of culture is the main body of Chinese orthodoxy. Even if you are not originally a son of the Han family, everyone who admires Chinese culture, inherits morality, understands etiquette, respects laws, understands literature and science, spreads Chinese characters, and assimilates over the years, has also returned to the Chinese orthodoxy. Since the late emperor changed
Since returning to the Han surname, the Sui Dynasty has made a lot of achievements in this field. In all fairness, do you think there is any shortcoming in what the royal family has done?"
"Now that the world is at peace, it will continue to be peaceful in the future. In such a world, what the Song Dynasty should do is not to stick to one corner and adhere to the nominal orthodoxy of bloodline, but rather to show off the culture and upbringing you have preserved from troubled times.
, wholeheartedly assist the imperial court and bring prosperity to the world."
Song Que's eyelids drooped, his gaze fell on the sword in his hand, and he said: "His Majesty's eloquence turns out to be pretty good, but since he wants to see Song's sword, he must not have planned to rely on his eloquence alone to convince Song."
"Yes." Yang Guang said in a joking tone, "I came here because I wanted to have a good chat first. If you don't agree, I will snatch your knife and kill you. No more
Song Que's Lingnan will soon become obedient and obedient."
Listening to this threatening joke, Song Que had a faint smile on his face and said: "The son of a rich man cannot sit down in the hall, how much more can he be the master of thousands of chariots? As the emperor, you actually came here in person to use this..."
Threatening me in such a way does not look like an emperor."
This does not seem to be the method of a qualified emperor, but there is nothing that can be done about it. Being an emperor is just a responsibility that Yang Guang has recently decided to take on, and the warrior temperament of using his fists to do things is what he has in his bones. What is the method of an emperor? It is better than what I am happy to do.
Really? You, the king, don’t need to show your mind in these small details.
Of course, we still have to talk about the situation. Yang Guangdao: "The emperor's methods are both right and wrong. Only by doing odd things occasionally can he show his wisdom."
"It seems that His Majesty has full confidence in his martial arts." Song Que said, laughed loudly, and said, "To be honest, I also want to see how deep the emperor who made everyone look away is hiding.
What can be done.”
Ever since Yang Guang used his identity as emperor to demonstrate his unpredictable martial arts skills, the martial arts masters he met, even the wanton evil king of the Demon Sect, had to be three-part fearful and two-part respect for the emperor.
However, Song Que was different. When he picked up the sword, no matter Yang Guang was the emperor or an unfathomable martial arts master, in his eyes, he was just an enemy, an enemy to be treated with a normal heart, or even a whetstone.
, his eyes are calm, his mind is stable, his temperament is peaceful, and his momentum gradually increases. Only the most sensitive people can feel a little bit of his eagerness to try from the atmosphere.
Since Song Que debuted, he has almost never heard of any defeats. Ever since he defeated the "tyrant sword" Yue Shan when he was in his twenties, he has taken over the banner of being the best swordsman in the world and has not failed to this day. Although he
He is not among the three great masters in the world, but anyone with a higher level in the martial arts knows that Heavenly Sword Song Que is definitely a master at the level of the three great masters.
Since the establishment of the Sui Dynasty, the Song Dynasty has been settled in Lingnan. All daily developments can be handled by Song Zhi and Song Lu. Song Que has concentrated on sharpening his sword skills in the knife sharpening hall. He has not encountered any swordsmanship in many years.
An enemy with no certainty of victory.
Maybe he can endure loneliness, but his sword is already jumping for joy.
"Ha." Yang Guang smiled brightly and tightened a pair of black gloves on his hands.
It has been several months since we came to this era, which can be called a gathering of heroes in both the official history and the secret history of Wumen. Finally, we met such a worthy opponent. How could Yang Guang not be happy?
However, as the atmosphere gradually reached a tense moment, Yang Guang suddenly turned around.
He actually turned around in front of the world's best swordsman, with the empty door behind him exposed, and said to himself: "Do you want to come with us?"
Shi Zhixuan stood at the door of the Knife Sharpening Hall, and slowly took out a few neatly folded pieces of paper from his sleeves. He ran his fingers over the ink marks and carefully read the formulas that could make up for the Immortal Seal. His fingertips
Wherever he passed, the white paper turned into powder, like fine snow flying from the palm of his hand.
The scribe, who was free and refined with the breeze in his arms, watched the last bits of debris fall into the dust. When he raised his eyes, evil spirits suddenly emerged.
