Chapter 591 Fusion of Swordsmanship
Breakfast was rice porridge with special pickles made by the inn, as well as white flour steamed buns. Seeing that Huo Ru was eating deliciously, Shen Ping asked about it, and then he realized that such a meal was rare in the eyes of the common people.
"As the number one swordsman in Wenjian Tower, you actually know the lives of ordinary people?"
he asked curiously.
Huo Ru said coldly, "Before I practiced sword practice, I was born into a poor family. I didn't have enough to eat every day. I could only manage to eat well during the New Year period."
As she spoke later, her voice became calmer, "It was only after I entered Wenjian Tower that my life improved."
Shen Ping listened silently.
This was the first time he learned about the lives of ordinary people in the Yuhua Dynasty. Although in the memory deep in his mind, he knew that the people at the bottom of ancient society lived very hard lives, this was after all an extraordinary world and a world of cultivation. Subconsciously he felt The people should be living a good life, but it turns out that he was blinded by his own empiricism.
In other words, after thousands of years of practice, he has long been ignorant of the sufferings of the people.
Huo Ru sarcastically said, "How can you, the pampered Marquis of Zhenbei, know the real human world? The way of heaven and earth does not exist in this human world."
Shen Ping rarely refuted.
Huo Ru did not let him go, but continued, "The so-called experiencing nature and experiencing the world is just a kind of fun for you to play with the world. Those common people, those ordinary people, are just ants in the eyes of you powerful people. "The people are really suffering and poor, but you are using your wealth to experience it. Is that poverty? It's not even suffering."
"I don't want to suffer, let alone experience this kind of suffering."
These words left Shen Ping speechless.
I have no interest in eating anymore.
In fact, after experiencing so many palace worlds, he rarely cared about the bottom of the world's creatures. Even if he did care occasionally, it was just a short stay for the fun of the game.
Get up and walk to the window.
Looking at the continuous rain at the ferry, there were also caravans and some traveling merchants staying at the entrance of the inn. Some of them were wearing raincoats and standing next to the inn stables. They did not go into the inn, obviously to save some money.
But looking at this.
His heart was hard to touch.
Huo Ru walked to Shen Ping's side, her simple white clothes set off her cold expression, "Zhenbei Hou, do you still want to experience this so-called human world?"
Shen Ping glanced at her, "Of course."
Huo Ru snorted, shook her waist-length hair, ignored Shen Ping, and went straight to the bed to sit down and practice.
Two days later.
The rain stopped.
Many caravans and traders were crowding to cross the bridge.
Shen Ping was also among them.
Cross the bridge.
He simply took Huo Ru and followed seven or eight merchants along a relatively close mountain road towards another Junxian.
The mountain road is rugged and the journey takes two days. If you take the official road, you have to go around three mountains and take six days. You can pass two inns in the middle, but it will cost more.
Huo Ruleng's face looked like Shen Ping owed her money.
On the contrary, Shen Ping was fighting fiercely with these merchants.
"You, a young young man, don't look like you are a businessman. You have such a cute girl by your side. It's not easy to walk on this mountain road, so you have to worry."
An elderly dealer said while smoking a dry cigarette.
The other younger merchants all looked at Huo Ru quietly. Although Huo Ru was wearing a bamboo hat and her hair was tied up, her delicate body and bones showed that she was raised in a family that was either rich or noble.
Shen Ping grinned and asked, "Old man, do you walk this mountain trail all year round?"
The old dealer nodded, "It must have been more than thirty years ago, but I'm getting old and I won't be able to do it for a few more years."
Take a rest.
Everyone set off again.
Shen Ping carried mountain goods for the old dealer and asked some other questions, such as whether there were any monsters or monsters in the mountain, whether there were bandits, etc.
"More than ten years ago, there was a lot of chaos. There were demons and bandits. We didn't dare to leave. The court had to send people to clean it up, so that we could get through again."
"It's just that over time, monsters tend to appear in the mountains."
A young merchandiser bravely said, "Last year when we were hiking in the mountains, we encountered a big python as big as a bucket. Fortunately, we ran away with our sharp eyes, otherwise we would have been swallowed by the big python."
"It's just that although the big python is dangerous, you can still walk as long as you avoid it. But if you take the official road, you will be skinned even if you don't die. Both inns have to collect tolls. We can't compare with those big caravans." , I picked up a small amount of goods and earned a lot of hard money. If I turn it in again, I won’t make any money at all.”
Shen Ping asked subconsciously, "Does the court not care?"
"The imperial court has nothing to do with it. Those inns are very skilled."
"It's not as good as the Xuanyao Division. The Xuanyao Division does some work at least, but only when there are demons in this mountain, the Xuanyao Division's policemen will come to clean it up. This is not to blame, after all, the mountain is high and the road is far away. Yes, it’s not easy to come here.”
"That's right, well, it's not easy."
Wedding day.
Many powerful people came to celebrate, and the imperial capital also sent people to bring gifts.
night.
The candlelight revealed a festive red color.
Listening to the approaching footsteps, Huo Ru pulled off the red hijab and said, "Marquis of Zhenbei, I promised to marry you, and I will also give you my most precious innocence, but you want me to do those actions, Again, dreaming.”
Shen Ping didn't care at all, but asked with interest, "Oh, you don't want to learn the supreme swordsmanship of Shanshui Tujuan? Don't want to become the best swordsman in the world? Don't want to defeat the Lijiang Fairy?"
Huo Ru said lightly, "I think so, but I will do it with my own efforts instead of relying on others."
"Ambitious."
"As your husband, you can challenge me at any time, so that you can realize the gap between you and a real swordsman."
Huo Ru was startled and whispered, "Okay."
After saying that, she lay down on the bed.
...
"Hey, you, please be gentle!"
When she felt the coolness on her skin, she couldn't help but shout.
...
Shen Ping laughed, "It won't hurt!"
...
Unfortunately, she still underestimated Shen Ping's strength, and in the end, she could only beg for more than ten days in a row.
"My invincible Hot Wheels haven't been used yet."
Huo Ru gritted his teeth and sighed.
...
Two months later.
In the courtyard of the Zhenbei Hou Mansion.
Huo Ru practices swordsmanship.
Shen Ping played the piano and enjoyed it.
Then a young man walked out not far away, clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Zhenbei Hou Yaxing."
"Sword Master."
Horu stopped his sword and shouted.
The young man hummed, and then came to the pavilion, sat opposite Shen Ping, took a sip of the freshly brewed tea, and then said what he wanted to say, "I have already reached an agreement over Haiyue Cliff, and you can go and view their two landscape paintings at any time." Volume, then Zhenbeihou will only need to use the sword skills he has learned."
"As for Tianyin Temple, it's not easy to deal with."
Shen Ping put his hands on the strings, "What, Tianyin Temple is not willing?"
"It's not that I don't want to."
"But they put forward a condition that they cannot hand over the sword skills of the landscape scroll to Emperor Mountain... You should know that Emperor Mountain has mastered a picture. If the picture does not contain the middle content, it will be easy to handle. At worst, you will only practice the first half. After all, it contains supreme swordsmanship, even the first half is enough for us to use for a lifetime."
The young man frowned and said: "I'm afraid that picture is very important, and Emperor Mountain will definitely ask for it when the time comes!"
Shen Ping glanced at the sword master and said, "Is there no way to reconcile it? Once all the landscape scrolls are gathered together, it is likely that the supreme swordsmanship in them will be seen. Even if you pay some price, it will be worth it."
"How could I not know!"
The young man sighed, "But those old bald donkeys are very stubborn. If they could be easily persuaded, they wouldn't have made a big fuss with the Yuhua Shen Dynasty. In my opinion, let's go to Haiyue Cliff first. Let’s talk about it after looking at those two pictures.”
Shen Ping nodded, "Okay, but I want to remind you that a picture of Emperor Mountain was taken from Lijiang Academy, and Lijiang Academy is probably related to the general outline of swordsmanship. The sword master should know what the general outline means."
The young sword master's face changed slightly, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I know that if it really doesn't work, I have to do it hard. After all, Tianyin Temple is only one of the five top forces."
The two finished talking.
After drinking a few more cups of tea, he rushed directly to the Gangqi layer and galloped towards Haiyue Cliff.
Haiyue Cliff is close to the sea.
Even traveling from the Gangfeng layer would take several days of flying.
Arrive at the sky above Haiyue Cliff.
Shen Ping overlooked the entire building built on the cliff by the sea. These buildings were similar to Wenjian Tower. They were all attic courtyards, surrounded by green bamboos.
"Sword Master, Marquis of Zhenbei, since you two are here, come down and have a cup of tea."
