Chapter 5 Two Masked Men(1/2)

In the night, a carriage stepped on the stars and headed northwest.

Driving a carriage at night is a technical job, especially in unfamiliar places. Drivers often get out of the car and walk in front of the car with their horses to avoid any accidents.

Xu Shan is 25 years old this year, but he has been the groom of the Wu Prince's Mansion with his father for more than ten years. He has been to the Wu Kingdom in recent years. He has been to the Yu Kingdom in the northwest and Shu Kingdom a little farther away. He has also been to the Wu Kingdom several times. He is very familiar with the various roads of the Wu Kingdom. He is very familiar with where it is difficult to walk and where there are bandits who need to take a detour. He is clear.

This is also the reason why he dared to catch a train at night and the speed was not slow.

In the carriage, a lantern was hanging in the middle of the dome. The light of the lantern carried away the darkness, and at the same time it shone on the masks of the two of them, adding a mystery to each other.

Chen Dou sat behind the carriage, leaning against the carriage with his arms held back, and his eyes closed remained as if he was as motionless as a mountain.

Knowing that Chen Dou doesn't like to talk, Wuling didn't bother.

Because of this, the carriage is terriblely quiet, and the sound of the wheels turning can be heard everywhere.

Wuling felt a little reluctant to leave when he was away from home for the first time.

It is said that young people do not recognize the taste of sorrow.

Wuling felt that when people said this, most of them liked to climb high and look far away when they were young, and liked to write poetry. Only those who could be liked to be on the top of the mountain and felt that they could not take worries seriously.

After all, no matter how big the sadness of young people is, it is not as big as a mountain.

If he had climbed the highest mountain like him, just the back mountain of the King of Wu's Mansion, and even a small mountain that could not even be seen in Wu City, he would not take so much worry seriously!

In order to relieve this melancholy, Wu Ling took out a dagger from his waist and began to clean up the moldy hilt and scabbard of the Wanghou Sword in the dim candlelight.

Sword, as the most popular weapon of Kyushu Thirteen, is also the most used weapon. Almost every person from Kyushu Thirteen Kingdoms has dreamed of becoming the strongest swordsman since childhood, hoping to become a person on the Sword List and the Sword Saint List.

Wuling is no exception.

However, Wuling's swordsman's road is much more rugged than others.

He only started this path two years ago.

Practicing swords so late is destined to be much behind those of your peers, let alone the gap with real masters.

It is impossible to say that he is not sorry for practicing swords so late. If he started practicing swords when he was able to take the sword, he might be a master at this moment and is on the sword list.

No matter how much regret it is, Wuling does not blame his parents.

Practicing swords late also has the benefits of practicing swords late.

At least it made Wu Ling's love for swords stronger.

Wu Ling used a dagger to cut off the moldy and slightly rotten rope on the hilt of the King's Sword, then opened the bag containing the pen, ink, paper and ink, and cut a piece of cloth.

After wrapping the pen, ink, paper and inkstone again, Wuling tore the cut cloth into strips.

Do all this well, Wuling wrapped the cloth strip around the hilt of the sword.

The hilt of the Wanghou Sword is of the same material as the sword body. Although it is engraved with patterns on it, it is not anti-slip enough, especially when the palms are sweating.

Tied with ropes and cloth strips can solve this problem, and at the same time, it can reduce the vibration of the sword hilt to the human hand when the weapon is handed over.

After wrapping it with a cloth strip for a few times, Wuling tried to hold it.

Seeing that the touch was right, he began to tie knots.

It’s a pity that the strips of cloth are white and easily stained by sweat and blood, and need to be dealt with frequently.

But there is nothing we can do about it. If conditions do not allow it, he can now tear it out with just one piece of extra cloth.

After getting the hilt of the sword, Wuling began to clean the scabbard.

Judging from the color of the scabbard, it should be made of sandalwood. A row of cloud patterns are inlaid with golden silk around the scabbard. Wuling rubs it back and forth with cloth on the scabbard for a while, and the mold stains on it are removed. In the center of the scabbard, several patterns are also carved shallowly.

After a while, Wuling found that one of them was the Luoshenhua.

The carved pattern can still be preserved to this day. From this point of view, the king and prince swords have not been used several times since they were cast. Or when they were used, they always wrapped the scabbard with cloth.

After sorting out the King's Sword, Wuling drew out the sword and took a look.

Then, with a satisfied smile, he pushed the sword back into the scabbard.

If it weren't for being still outside Wucheng, Wuling would have really wanted to get out of the car and play with his sword.

The moment Wuling put away his sword, Chen Dou's voice suddenly sounded in the originally speechless carriage, "The sword is used to kill people. Whether it is sharp or not has much to do with whether it looks clean."

Chen Dou saw everything Wu Ling did just now.

Wuling's talent for sword training was not in the eyes of Chen Dou, but Wuling could see from his careful brushing of the sword that he had a strong love for the sword, which made him very appreciative.

In his love for swords, Wuling is much better than the extremely talented Wu Broken couple.

It is precisely because of this that Chen Dou suddenly became interested in speaking.

Wu Ling subconsciously raised his head and looked at Chen Dou. He did not expect Chen Dou to speak at this time.

Although Chen Dou's words were reasonable, Wuling had his own ideas.

Wuling replied, "Although your words are reasonable, you ignore the human beings themselves. The sword is made of iron and spiritual because of the human holding. It is human beings who give the sword life. In other words, whether the sword is sharp or not depends on the human being. When a sword is in his heart, he is not in a swordsman and feels that something on the sword is annoying. How can he use his strength to draw the sword?"

This answer surprised Chen Dou very much.

The meaning of Wuling's words was unexpected. Wuling did not remain silent like Wu Pu Shuo, and did not speak out without saying good or bad. He was not as perfunctory as Jiang Minyue, saying "Yes, you are right!", but he seriously expressed his thoughts.

"Swords follow the original heart?"

Chen Dou laughed at the word and asked, "What do you think is the relationship between swords and people."

Wu Ling replied: "It depends on what kind of person is. If a person is an ordinary person who cannot reach the sword, the sword has little to do with him. Even if it has something to do, the sword is just a tool. If a person's identity is a swordsman, the sword is the same as his brothers. As for me..."

Speaking of this, Wuling stopped.

Wuling has thought a lot about the relationship between man and sword in his spare time, but it is all about the identity of "others". As for what sword is to him, Wuling has never thought about it.

After a while, Wuling's eyes became brighter and he said, "For me, the sword is a sword, and I am me. I enlighten my heart to the sword, and the sword follows my heart, that's all."

Chen Dou laughed and said, "What if you did the wrong thing?"

Wu Ling replied: "That's me who is wrong!"

Chen Dou said: "Do you know your thoughts are dangerous?"

People who walk smoothly will become Buddhas with one thought and become demons with one thought. One step will lead to a disaster.

Many sword cultivators with extremely talented talents dare not try it. They only go this path after they get old, see through their thoughts, and have a stable state of mind.

Wu Ling reached out and pushed the purple gold mask on his face, stared at the lantern hanging in the center of the car, and was slightly lost, "Maybe because of this, someone told me to read more."

Wu Ling's words made Chen Dou's eyebrows slightly raised under the bronze mask, "Did your parents let you take the path of the Heart Sword?"

The sword carries the way with the heart.

The Heart Sword is the most special sword among the thousands of sword techniques, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the strongest sword move.

But even so, it is impossible to break the ban on the spirit sealing ban.

Wu Ling asked in confusion, "Old man, what is the Heart Sword?"

From childhood to adulthood, Wu Po Shu and Jiang Minyue have never told Wu Ling about swords. He didn't know what Heart Sword is. In Wu Ling's view, practicing swords is a practice of hundreds of millions of times in one move. There is no sword art, and the Heart Sword is said to be.

In fact, it is not just Wuling, but the entire people in the upside-down mountain are almost like this.

Chen Dou asked: "Do you know about the spirit sealing ban body?"

Wu Ling shook his head and said, "I haven't known it yet!"

Chen Dou's brows frowned even more. According to Wu Bo Shuo's sword realm, it is impossible not to know the Heart Sword, and Wu Bo Shuo has also gone out, so he should know the Feng Ling Ban Body.

But now Wuling doesn’t know anything about it!

Is this the son of Wu Po Shu and Jiang Minyue? Or is the couple who are only responsible for giving birth and not for teaching?

Chen Dou continued to ask, "Then why are you wearing red clothes?"

Wuling said directly: "Because I was born in the cemetery that day of worshiping my ancestors, I was named Wuling by my grandfather. But my mother thought it was unlucky, so she added a word to me early, called Hongyi to cheer me up."

"In addition to the same words as the words, there is another meaning of joy. Another thing is that my parents met a fortune teller in Zhao State before, saying that I would not live to twenty-one unless I was wearing red clothes. My mother would rather believe it, so she asked me to wear red clothes since she was a child, and warned me not to wear other colors of clothes before the age of twenty-two."

Wuling didn't know why Chen Dou asked these questions, but when he thought that Chen Dou was a weird person, he was too lazy to ask more questions. Moreover, many people in the Wuwang Mansion knew that it was not an unspeakable secret.

"Red clothes, engagement, spirit sealing and banning body..."

Chen Dou frowned, hugged his right index finger, and kept knocking on his left hand's arm. He didn't expect that someone was hanging upside down and laying it under his nose.

The most important thing is that he only discovered it now.

Thinking of the flower on Wuling's face, a long-standing legend suddenly appeared in Chen Dou's mind, "Is the legend true?"

It is rumored that the key to the other side is the flower bloomed by the sealed spirit forbidden body.

As long as the flowering spirit sealing body is thrown into the sea, the black fog that covers the sea will dissipate and the bridge leading to the other shore will appear.

The spirit sealing body is the physical constitution that the spiritual veins in the body are born into self-forming formations, sealing their own spiritual sea. People with this physique will die if they fail to remove the formations in their bodies before the age of 21.

There are also methods to crack.

At the moment of entering the Yin-Yang realm, it is to intersect with the yin-yang body with the spiritual body with better talent than the spirit sealing body, and swallow half of the other party's spiritual body talent to help untie the seal.

The difficulty of this method lies in the fact that the spirit sealing body itself is a top spirit body, and there are very few spirit bodies with better cultivation talents than the spirit sealing body.

After the spirit sealing body is unsealed, the spiritual sea will grow corresponding flowers according to its own spiritual veins and obtain the corresponding taboo power.
