Sword stickers are formal sword-comparison challenges. This tradition was passed down from the Han Dynasty to the Tang Dynasty. The Han and Tang Dynasties were both martial arts eras. It is very common for men to wear swords. A slightly decent man will have his own sword. Learning martial arts and comparing swords became popular in the Han and Tang Dynasties.

A few friends go out for a trip to spring, where they are happy, draw their swords to compete, or if they turn against each other, they will draw their swords to fight each other.

Most of the time, sword-birds are made verbal agreements, and few people put sword-birds on them. Putting sword-birds on them means that there may be life-threatening danger. In this case, you need to find an intermediary to testify. If it is a sword-birds on life and death, you must also file a record with the government.

But the reason why Suo Wenjian posted it is just a competition of swordsmanship. There is no intention of determining life and death, so there is no need to file with the government. However, it is also more formal. The time is the morning of tomorrow, and the location is the East School Field, which is where Li Zhen and Wu Ju took the step and shooting test during the provincial examination.

"Old Li, why do you want to pick up his sword sticker? It's just a mess!"

Jiuzhi heard that Suo Wen had put a sword sticker on Li Zhen, and he was immediately indignant, "I lost to you last year's sword competition. According to the rules, no sword appointments are allowed within three years. What does he mean? He has to compare swords again in just one year, and his face is even thicker than the city wall."

Li Zhen disagreed with the anger of the fat man in the wine, waved his hand and smiled: "It doesn't matter. No matter three years or a year, whether it's time to win or win, you have to lose or lose, don't you think?"

"That's right, there are rules after all. Everyone knows that he will break the rules when he acts like this."

Kang Dazhuang next to him said in a deep voice: "It is probably because the So family failed to buy the stone wall this time. So Wen holds a grudge, so he uses Bijian as an example, but he is obviously not your opponent!"

"Old Li, there must be a conspiracy here. It is obviously not your opponent and he is still serious. Aren't he afraid of embarrassment? No! No! There must be a conspiracy here, and we cannot be fooled."

Li Zhen patted Jiuzhi on the shoulder and smiled and said, "Okay, don't talk about conspiracy all day long. He has been practicing sword hard for a year and will probably defeat me, so he proposed a sword comparison."

"Try hard!" Jiu Zhi said contemptuously: "I met him in Yichunyuan yesterday..."

Jiuzhi suddenly covered his mouth. He found that he had let go. Li Zhen laughed and held him down and asked, "Damn fat man, honestly, how many twenty gold coins are left?"

"The sky is on the sky and the sun is on, and I have bought all the gold coins for Cui'er. I have only been to that place once, and I just went to find someone!"

"Of course you're looking for someone, we all know."

"Where can I find someone at Xiaopang!"

Li Quan brought a bowl of Hu cake and walked in with a smile, scaring the three of them so much that they didn't dare to speak anymore.

...........

The court of Dongzhai was crowded with young men who came to see the sword competition. The story of Li Zhen and Suo Wen fighting sword competition had already spread. Everyone rushed over and wanted to see this wonderful contest.

In fact, Li Zhen and Suo Wen's sword competition is unfair. Suo Wen is a child of a powerful man in Dunhuang. He can take ruthless measures and even kill Li Zhen, but Li Zhen is only a commoner, but he cannot hurt the grandson of the Suo family.

Everyone knows it very well, so more people are worried about Li Zhen, and Dazhuang and Jiuzhi are also worried.

Li Zhen smiled at Dazhuang and Jiuzhi, "The soldiers come to block the generals, and the water comes to cover the soil. How did I defeat him last year? This year is the same. Don't worry, just shout for me!"

Jiuzhi pulled Li Zhen aside and whispered: "Do you want me to play with some slut? I brought croton flour. How about I put some croton in his drinking water?"

Li Zhen was a little amused and crying, "What are you doing with that thing?"

Jiuzhi scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly: "You know... I always carry this kind of thing with me."

"Warning you first, don't do anything randomly! I'm ruining my name."

Jiuzhi curled his lips disdainfully, "Regain your reputation? Is your life important or your reputation important? Forget it! Fatty, I just had a kind intention. Don't worry about me, I'm still happy to be idle."

Li Zhen actually didn't want to compete with this young man Mosquito. Such a person can't afford to lose. If he let him, he would definitely brag around and belittle himself to nothing.

If he beat him, he would not be willing to do so. He would try every means to regain his face. Their family style has always been like this.

But since Suo Wen has been forced to see him, Li Zhen will never give in, and he is also very curious that Suo Wen was defeated by his own sword in two moves last year.

And today, Suo Wen actually challenged him impatiently. Just a year later, could he have practiced some special skills?

The test court was crowded with teenagers who came to see the sword-making competition. They were all excited and shouted desperately, hoping that they would fight to the death.

Suo Wen's palms were sweating all over, and he was a little nervous. He was quite tall and had a similar figure to Li Zhen. Today he wore a gauze hat, a silk robe with all his body, a jade belt, a red lips and white teeth, which made him look handsome.

In his hand, he held a long sword made by a famous artist. The blade was sharp and shining with a shining cold light in the sunlight.

The day before yesterday, Suo Wen got advice from Lan Zhenyu. Lan Zhenyu was good at using medicine. From him, Suo Wen learned a sinister way that could allow him to easily defeat the other party in a sword competition.

Suo Wen became anxious. He was eager to fight with Li Zhen and defeat him, and snatch the halo of the number one young master in Shazhou from his head.

At this time, Suo Wen felt an indescribable murderous aura on Li Zhen, like an invisible force oppressing him, making him feel a little timid.

This murderous aura did not last year, and even when I met Li Zhen some time ago, I didn't feel this murderous aura, but now it is revealed from Li Zhen's long sword.

Especially Li Zhen's sharp eyes, staring at him with bright eyes, making So Wen feel that his intention was seen through by the other party, and So Wen couldn't help but feel a little panicked.

Li Zhen's outfit is very different from Suo Wen. He did not wear a crown and hat, but only a white flat scarf, a blue linen robe, a leather belt, and a long sword in his hand that he bought at the blacksmith shop for 800 cents.

However, after a few days ago, Li Zhen's mentality naturally changed. His view of life and death has changed. It is reflected in swordsmanship. He will make his move more decisive and more ruthless, and will no longer be subject to any restrictions. This will invisibly improve his swordsmanship.

There are two types of sword techniques in the Tang Dynasty. One is routine sword techniques, such as the sword techniques that scholars practice in state schools, and the half-stage sword techniques learned by ordinary people. This routine sword can only strengthen the body and has no meaning in actual combat.

Another type is practical swordsmanship, which is specially practiced by martial artists. They first need to practice routines, then forget about routines, and use moves to attack and kill at will.

Moreover, you must not just practice swords. You must also practice the flexibility and strength of your body from an early age. Finally, you can make the martial artists quick eyes and fast hands, and like dragons. In particular, the strength must be strong enough, otherwise they will be chopped away by a sword.

Li Zhen and Suo Wen practiced the latter, but their levels were completely different. Not only did the master have a high level, but more importantly, each person's talent and hard work are different.

Li Zhen carried the long sword on his shoulder at will, looking a little careless, but his keen eyes were staring at Su Wen's every move. He saw that Su Wen's eyes were very unnatural, as if he had done something wrong, which made him more alert.

In last year's sword competition, Suo Wen lost to his own sword in two moves, and his sword skills have improved over the past year, but Suo Wen's mental state is no different from last year. If Suo Wen wants to defeat him, he must take action within two moves.

Li Zhen stared at Suo Wen's left hand. He had already seen it. Suo Wen was almost holding a short blade inside his left hand, sneaking, as if he was shameless.

Li Zhen sneered and shouted loudly: "Brother Suo, let me give it to you first!"

"good!"

Suo Wen shouted loudly, rushed towards Li Zhen, and stabbed seven or eight swords, and the sword light was shining, which was dazzling.

Li Zhen did not resist and took a few steps back, but his eyes were fixed on Suo Wen's left hand. When he saw Suo Wen's short blade move, he knew that he was going to take action. He also shouted, blocked the sword, and crossed his side with Suo Wen.

Just as the moment of lightning flashed, Suo Wen's short blade slashed towards Li Zhen with his left hand. A stream of colorless powder was sprayed out from his short blade. Standing in the distance, he could not see it at all, but Li Zhen could see it clearly. The moment the short blade slashed out, he held his breath.

Suowen's killer weapon is this colorless powder. This medicine was originally used to deal with women. After smelling it, it will become weak in all limbs. Lan Zhenyu will increase the purity, making the powder more intense. As long as you smell it a little, you will feel dizzy.

However, Suo Wen took the medicine in advance and was not affected by the drug. Lan Zhenyu's method was even more clever. The powder was hidden in a short sword. As long as the blade was slashed at the opponent, the colorless powder would be thrown out of the hollow sword body, causing the opponent to unknowingly commit a crime.

For two days, Sowen used the family servants in the mansion to do experiments, which made him more confident.

When the short sword was swung out, Li Zhen staggered, as if he was about to fall, which caused the young men around him to exclaim. Jiu Zhi and the others were even more anxious: "Beware of Lao Li!"

Sovin was immediately overjoyed. The other party was caught. He became jealous and turned around and shouted loudly, thrusting his sword into Li Zhen's heart. The sword was extremely fierce. If he was stabbed, he would either die or be disabled.

Amid the screams, the long sword instantly stabbed Li Zhen’s back. At this time, Li Zhen unexpectedly took a step forward and just avoided Suo Wen’s fatal sword. He used his backhand to stab Suo Wen’s wrist. Suo Wen screamed, and the long sword fell to the ground.

Suowen half-kneeled on the ground, holding his wrist and screaming. Blood gushed out of the crack of his hands, making him tremble all over his body.

The two of them ended up fighting between the two, but the final result was shocking. It was obviously Li Zhen who was going to lose, but why did Suo Wen Zhong kneel down in the end?

Jiu Zhi waved his arms excitedly and shouted: "See, did you see, this is the apprentice taught by the master without anus. He was defeated in one and a half moves. Do you still want to go up and challenge?"

The test stadium was silent, and no one dared to go up to challenge it, but more people were worried about Li Zhen. If Suo Wen was hurt, would the Suo family let him go?

Lan Zhenyu, who was standing next to Soying, was angry by Jiuzhi's vicious words. If he hadn't been unwilling to appear, he would have to cut off the fat man's bad mouth today.

At this time, So Ying rushed in with more than a dozen servants, who drew their swords. More than a dozen servants surrounded Li Zhen. So Ying hurriedly supported his brother and asked anxiously: "Brother, how are you?"

"I don't know, my meridians... may be broken."

So Ying was furious and turned around and stared at Li Zhen and roared, "Li Zhen, you are so bold!"

Li Zhen smiled coldly, picked up the short sword on the ground in front of him, bent down and picked it up, looked carefully and asked, "Mr. Wen, do you want me to tell you?"

"Don't...I admit defeat!" Suo Wen begged in a low voice. He knew very well that if Li Zhen made this scandal publication, he might have ruined his reputation.

Sowen said to his servant Ling again: "Let him go!"

"No!" So Ying was so angry that he wanted to leave after hurting the Suo family. How could it be so easy? He said viciously: "Li Zhen, you must give the Suo family an explanation!"

At this moment, there was a riot outside the school grounds, and then someone shouted: "Stop competing in swords, something big is going to happen in Dunhuang!"
